Walter F. Backner of 1310 Court street tvho purchased a
WUys Knight in 1919 was in our salesroom the cither day asking
about a certain mechanic who used to be connected with us. When
told he had moved over a year ago he said
"Well you know since I bought this Willys Knight I have
just lost track of all repairmen, and if I was to buy a, hun
dred more cars they would all be Willys Knights."
About this time Goodrich Moir, one of Viek Bros, salesmen, hap
pened on the scene and knowing that the Buckners were thinhhig
some of an enclosed car, they got down to business on a trade J or
a WiUys Knight Sedan! The result s that we sold Mr.-zidj I.lrs.:
Buckner a new WiUys iKnight Sedan .allowing them $fr0Q0 (Jor
their 4 year old Touring car.
The outstanding features of this sale are many: - ' .
The used car. was sold the: same day for $1000.00 to a 3rd partv-rwho is
delighted with his bargain.
Mr. Buckner was very slow to accept as little as $1000.00 for his 4-yearoId
.car which sells new today at $1455.00.
