Preview of That $545 ijCoupe You Hear About ' By Frank Bartholomew San Diego, March 21 (U.R) This is about a dark young man coming into your life pretty soon with a brand new red leather convertible coupe he says he'll sell you for $545, or a sedan or station wagon for $50 more. A few years ago he was a kid cleaning looms in Fall River, Mass., for 50 cents a week. His mother was a widow with nine ons to support and this boy we're talking about said it was pretty tough going even with the groceries supplied by city wel fare. Orders Pile Up The family is going to do bet ter now since this particular son whose name is S. A. Williams, took a mail order course in en gineering and invented an auto mobile for which he says he has one hundred and ten million dollars' worth of confirmed ord ers so far, based on a total pro duction of two completed cars to date. In addition the company he organized has sold another mil lion dollars worth of dealer ships all over the place. It's called the Bobbi-Kar Corpora tion and it is already spread over three former airplane man ufacturing plants around here and is dickering with the gov ernment for a fourth. Tooling is going ahead and volume produc tion of 1500 cars a day is sched uled for October. I saw a finished model of the little car which has caused all the commotion. The convertible coupe I look- WASHING Pli HOB ilA mm No MMpy film or itreaks go tmM tout dtsbes, or afains. uisnet dry ftsrKling clean Funwi wiping! ed at is standing in the recep tion room of the company's ex ecutive offices in the former Ryan Aircraft plant. It's a smart and substantial looking little job finished in red leather, includ ing the instrument panel which is mounted on sponge rubber. It has a semi-circular windshield with no center post. Engine and transmission are in the rear, and removable as a single unit by loosening 13 bolts. Idea is that when you have repair work to be done the shop will install a loan motor in 10 minutes while it keeps yours for fixing. The top is all metal, and when re moved folds up into the luggage compartment under the hood. The Bobbi-Kar will do 40 to 45 miles to the gallon, I was told by Vice President and Pro duction Manager John Liefeld, a curly haired automotive vet eran who attained, the ripe old SAID SHE FELT "DOWN AND OUT'!.. But Famous Cereal Helped Relieve Her Constipation Harsh laxatives got you feeling dragged out? Then read this sin cere, unsolicited letter: "Constipation had me feeling down and out and tacking pep and energy. But not any more. Not since I take ALL-BRAN In. steed of hnrsh laxatives. It's miraculous what this fine-tasting cereal can do for a person in such a short time." Miss Marion Krause, 14483 Faircrest Avenue, Detroit 5, Michigan. You, too, may never have to take another harsh laxative for consti pation due to lack of bulk in the diet, if you eat EELLOGG'S ALL -BRAN every day and drink plenty of water. Try it as a deli cious cereal and in muffins. EELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN is not a purgative. It's a wholesome cereal made from the vital outer layers of wheat. It provides gentle bulk helpful to normal laxation. Try it for ten days. If not com pletely satisfied, send empty carton to the Kellogg Company, Battle Creek, Michigan. Get double your money back! Get ALL-BRAN at your gro cer's. Made by Kellogg's of Battle Creek and Omaha. - Can a Uf sauce beaf it for flavor! Let's ask the women who cook with Del Monte- 2 out of 3 of them have used it more than 10 years "No other sauce I've tried suits me so well!" ays an actual user. "Del Monte has the true tomato flavor and its fine, clear color makes any dish look so good. It's a fast worker, too! In 15 or 20 minutes you can make a sauce or gravy that used to take hours of mixing, blending and simmering. I'd be lost without Del Monte it always gives me ust the right flavor! from actual inttrvlwB with a reprttcntatioo eroit itction of Aeueewiiws in Pacific Coast osfies of 10.000 and over 2E 1 "oWZmtmmSi L-YX7 1 age of 33 last Sunday. It weighs 1600 pounds, has a 92 inch wheel base and develops 2414 horse power. Started as Toy Asked how he became inter ested in small cars, he left his office and returned with a 14 inch model automobile powered by a tiny single cylinder engine. "Built this five years ago and it still runs like a top," he said. "I did that just for fun and to kill time. "Then when my son Bobbi was born, less than three years ago, I decided to build a larger and more practical model. "One day a friend offered me $2,000 to build another for his son. So I rented a garage and hired a mechanic for that job, and before I was finished I had more and more orders."
