This is done by having two cars on the streets where they can be hailed for those inter- ested in trying out the merits of the new design. “We would like to take every man, woman and child in Bismarck for a ride in this wonderful ‘Six,” Mr. Lahr said today, “so that Bismarck people may see for themselves what a remarkable value the Willys-Over- land company is building in this car. “I claim that the only fault with the Overland Six is the price—it should be at least $200 higher. It is hard for the public to appreciate the fact that the Willys-Overland pany can build a big, powert bi tiful Six at the price of thi They do not realize that there is practic: | ally no selling cost connected with this car, It is added to the Willys- Overland line with practically no ad- ditional overhead.” Touching on deliveries Ma Lahr said: “Altho the Willys-Ove¥land Company went into April with 20,000 unfilled orders for cars, with our fifteen years of Willys-Overland connection, we have been able to take pretty good care of our retail ‘buyers and dealers. Up to date we have sold over 390 per cent more cars than last year at this time, which is almost 200 per cent more than our schedule at the factory called for. During the first eleven days of Ap- ril, we delivered four cars over 500 per cent more than we delivered the first eleven days of April last yea: I am not saying this with a dispo- sition to brag, but simply because I am proud of the fact that the buy- ing public feels - so kindly’ toward our product and the exceptional values in the Willys-Overland line.” GAME REFUGES ARE ESTABLISHED Five pairs of Hungarian partridges have been released on the farm of George Day near Glencoe by the Byrleigh County Sportsmen's club and a game refuge established at that place.
