For that mark is the sign of the Still Better Willard with Threaded Rubber Insulation. JOHN N. WILLYS, AUTO MANUFACTURER ADDS NEW LAURELS TO FAME Almost since the inception of the , John N. Willys, been a leading ach year he of Toledo, Ohio, factor in the indu: Dr has gone to the Ne national au- tomobile show with new records of achievement during the preceding 12 months until it has become a common matter of fact that he should stand in the limelight as an indispensable element in the success of the indus- try. The 1918 show proved no exception to the rule. In fact the Willys accom- plishments in 1917 are of an even more enviable nature than those of almost any other man in the industry. ‘Not only does the company, of which he is the head and directing s, show a bigger sales volume o¢ for 1917 than for any previous year in its history, but he has managed to branch out into an- other important industry with the re- sult that John Willys is oday one of the leading producers of aeroplanes in It seems quite fitting that the man, who has given so many years to the improvement in years. It stands for durable, Threaded Rubber Insulation—for abattery in which the need of re-insulating is indefinitely postponed. Next time you’re in, Meaning for You”—it tells exactly w! development of the automobile, until it has become one of the country’s most necessary utflities, should now turn a considerable part of his atten- tion to the development of the aero- plane—that most effective fighting arm in the war service of the allied nations. Incidentally, Mr Willys found time to take charge of the national War Camp Community Service Campaign | and put the movement over with his usual success. Secretary of War Baker has referred to war camp com- munity service as one of the most es- sential factors in civilian work to win the war. A leader of men was wanted at its head and Willys was the logical man to select for the important po- sition. Forceful initiative and shrewd fore- sight are the factors given the prin cipal credit for the success of Willys. He entered the automobile manufac- turing business at a time when it seemed doomed for failure. His friends and associates tried to dissuade him from buying the Pope-Toledo ma when that property went begging on the market. They pointed to the fai experienced ure of manufactur ; Who had sunk their all in the “auto- mobile game.” But Willys had the.vision and fore- sight to look beyond to the day when ask us for the booklet B-3, “A Mark witha hat the Willard Mark stands for.
