I E : Nordenson, distributor of
lb.e Gardner car, says. "There
seems to exist some doubt among
some' regarding the Gardner stock
car pulling Washington street in
high gear with only three cylin
ders working. Wo of course do
liot wonder at this doubt. For the
benefit of the doubtful we will
gladly demonstrate this at any
time as well as other unbetter
able featnres and performances
of the Gardner car which will do
r forty miles per hour working on
three cylinders without a boble
or jerk of any kind. .We claim"
nothing more of the Gardner car
than any other car of its same
construction, but we do believe
that we have the best construct
ed automobile on the American
market today, near its price, and
a comparison . of units of much
higher priced cars, such as bear
ings and stroke and bore, size of
.crank shaft, and con rods j and
construction throughout. If by
comparison, it is good for cars of
a much higher price, then we be
lieve that it is good construction
tot cars of a lesser price. Ask
jasers regarding operation, ex
tpense, they know, and believe
-that they will be better able to
Temore the cloud of doubt from
;the mosttsktBtfeal mind regarding
ihe Gardnsrtsc&i." ; -

25 miles away. He was in such a
hurry that his Chrysler did i at
night In the ram over slippery
roads In 30 minutes. While run

noticed a state trooper behind
him. "I supposed be was chasing
me." he said later, "as ; there was
no one else I could see who need
ed to be chased for speeding. But
I stepped on it. . . ; ,-
"Some time after I' reached
Fairmont the trooper rode in. - He
said he had endeavored to catch
me for 15 miles and supposed 1
must have been at least, seven
miles ahead of. him when I reach

bought one a few days1 later.' I
call it the best arrest for speeding

No American car buyer need
fear for his safety by reason cf
his motoring inexperience, accord
ing to Thos. Henry, "president of
the American 'Automobile associa
tion. ; i ; : ; ' '
; The 22 years of AAA experience
with every phase of motoring is at
the tyro's disposal, he' says. :
This point, a statement by Mr.
Henry shows, is being emphasized
at this time because of consider
able -Unfair criticism aimed at the
new comer. The AAA takes the
position that a new-driver today is
safer than a new driver ten years
ago, because, granting that he is
conscientious and willing - to ; be
guided acdordingly, there: Hi- Just
so ' much more experience at his
dteposal.5 " ;;i'l5
'j;"With: AAA touring service 'a
comtjarativelv green car owner
can now undertake extensive jour
neys via motor in the knowledge
that he will be spared nine-tenths
of the annoyances of inexperi
ence," Mr. Henry points out, "If
he is a member of his local Three
A's club he is entitled to service
in practically all ' the Important
American cities. He is bound to
.experience a feeling' of confidence
In his touring aa5 consequence,
for the association has done the
pathfinding for him."

Burope will begin to turn : with
the rapidity of pre-war days.
"Sounder economic conditions
have been established, as a result
of the Dawes plan. Germany.now
has a basis of currency that' will
bring her back into the market.
Confidence will again exist and
conditions , will be stabilized.
Sources that have been clogged
up will be reopened and the par
alyzing . hand, that has gripped
parts of " Europe ' for so long' will
be removed. '
"This1 change in the situation.
while it presents a field of great
opportunity to American business
men, also places a tremendous re
sponsibility upon the shoulders of
every one who expects to take ad
vantage of it. r .'
- "Quality and honesty in manu
facturing and selling are basic and
cannot be separated. The man
who buys an American product in
Europe has a right to expect full
value for his money. -
"Taking our own case, for ex
ample. Production in Europe will
be greatly increased and one of
the requirements to meet this will
be more motor trucks. We expect
to supply a large portion of this
demand. Last month we exported
more trucks than any other manu
facturer of trucks In the world.
If wehad not given quality :, in
the past and had not been honest
in our dealings, this record would
never .have been .possible. It's
the only policy that pays and the
only one that will earn the lasting
friendship and bring the continued
patronage of European custom
ers." ; J . - I
This statement coming from Mr.
Pulcher is ot more than passing
interest. The Federal Motor
Truck company is the biggest ex
porter of trucks in the world and
Is represented in 50 foreign coun-t

A Federal-Knight show chassis
will be exhibited at the Olympia
show and a more vigorous culti
vation of the foreign market will
be made. I "
The ' new - Federal-Knight has
been received with great enthusi
asm by users abroad. The Knight
engine has" been popular In Eu
rope, for many years and the long
successful record of - Federal
trucks fort dependability and per
formance has earned -for them a
reputation in foreign countries
that is second to none.
i This new speedy truck will be
in great demand. Owing to high
operating costs, the ' economy, of
the Willys-Knight motor, its free
dom from costly repair bills and
the sturdine8s and lightness of
the Federal chassrie will appeal to
foreign users. The need for this
particular truck exists and this
one has been specially designed
to meet all requirements.

The Lanchester Balancer gives Willys
Knight a vibrationless smoothness
unique in a motor car
'WlltfS'Tinight Scores Again
Men and women who
drive cars rightly demand
the most of them. They
render a verdict of enthus
lasm xor t he Willys
Knight. The test of every
day driving proves to
them the completeness
with which its latest re
finement, the Lanchester
Balancer, prevents engine
vibration at any speed.
Car owners, who object
to vibration in open cars,
find it amounts to a con
tinually renewed irrita
tion in closed cars. With
closed cars coming more
widely into use each year,
demand for the i elimina
tion of engine vibration
has grown imperative
Willys-Knight supplies
this demand the Lan
chester Balancer conquers .
vibration. The Balancer
makes a better engine of
the world's best engine
the famous sleeve-valve
motor that improves with
use. It registers another
achievement for Willys
Knight, the car that lit
erally outruns its field.
The Willys-Knight with
Lanchester Balancer is on
view now. Inspect it. Try
it out. Then render your
verdict.
