Because the brilliant light acted as an indi&pensable beacon to pilots, Rogers H. Williams, flying instruc- tor at Curtiss Field determined to ascertain what the light was and to whom it belonged since it was not ie hee as an official beacon. B ight late one night, Williams traced it as coming from the business section of Jamaica. Descending to within a few hundred feet of the light the pilot discovered to his surprise that the light was a “Whippet” sign in the Willys-Over- lealer’s showroom. Located on broad Hillside avenue ection, the showrooms of the Knight Motor Sales of Jamaica ‘face a wide open expanse which enables a tors to “spot” the light very readily. The day following the discovery of the light, Williams visited the Willys-Overland dealer and told him The two struck upa and later Williams pur- Sometime later he brought a fellow aviator to the showroom and he also purchased another car of the same type. This instance is regarded as the first occasion in, which advertising seen from the air by aviators re- ulted in the direct sale of a product. Autos Should Have Pre-Winter Checkup Sick people do not work properly. Neither can “sick” automobiles. The only difference being,'a per- story. friendship It is a wise precautionary measure that undoubtely prevents much win- ter illness. “The few essential attentions which are necessary before any auto- mobile can maintain its best service under lower temperature conditions, require very little more time than the physician consumes in prepar- ing the human machine for the rigors of winter. But that hour or two will pay large dividends later in uninterrupted driving satisfac- tion. Many of the Oakland-Pontiac service stations have grouped these cold weather precautions under a flat rate which compares favorably ‘with the fee which a competent phy- sician charges for physical examin- ation, Chevrolets Used to Carry Downie Circus When the circus comes to town— if it happens to be Downie.Bros.
