In HI2IJ a total of $8,!ifi5,100.7(i was paid for the same privilege.

It is known that because of the ! highest type of engineering and j workmanship demanded in the j production of Knight sleeve- valve engine, the manufacturing costs have been materially higher ! than the cost of building power l plants of another design. In fact it was believed for years that be cause of the high cost of producing the sleeve-valve engine it woultl never be possible to Install this tvpe of power plant in a low priced car. Moreover, through Willys-Over-land's 15 years experience in build ing Willys-Knight sleeve-valve en gines and other types, manufac turing costs have been reduced and other economies have been worked out thnt 'have made possible this new Wiilys-Knight six at tho low est prico in the history of the company.
