This announcement will, we are certain, be received with interest by the many hundreds of WILLYS-KNIGHT, STEARNS-KNIGHT, WHIPPET and OVERLAND owners in this community. Several months ago we announced to the people of Salem that we would provide Sales and Service facilities second to none in this important and active business center. We are now fulfilling that promise, the delay having been because of our new building not having been ready for occu pancy at an earlier date.

Here in our: Salem Store we will carry an abundant stock of new mod ern cars ranging from the lowest in price to the most luxurious cars of American manufacture. Twenty months ago WILLYS-OVERLAND announced to the world that the WHIPPET a car -that is without doubt the most complete and strictly modern car in the low priced field would make obsolete the 12,000,000 low priced cars then operating. Late developments by other great manu facturers have proven that statement 100 true, and by that token we justly claim credit for the moderni zation of the low priced field. The WHIPPET is still the most modern of cars in its competitive class. Modern because of efficient Bendix Four Wheel Brakes Modern because of its Hotchkiss Drive Mod ern because of its silent chain timing Modern because of its low swung roomy body Modern because of ita t--..-,v:?;-,:T . long spring base with Springs of Chrome Vanadium Steel Modern be cause of its gas tank in rear with vacuum tank Modern because of its 28 pound Drilled Crankshaft and force feed lubrication MODERN IX EVERY POINT and with 30 miles and better to the gallon of gas fast as anything on wheels and with un limited power, we urge prospective purchasers to allow us the privilege to show and demonstrate the WHIP PET.
