The announcement of the new Whippet Six at lowest price in jhe history of utomobile indus- try, was made by R. M. Rowland, aales promotion manager, repre- senting the Willys-Overland com- vany of Toledo, Ohio. Under the Whippet Six prices, the coach will sell for $695, bringing this model $50 under that of the next nearest low-priced six. Other models include a coupe at $695, a four-door sedan at $7465, touring car at $615 and a roadster at $68: All prices are below those of ay light six of equivalent body type. Seven- « Cranks Mr. Rowland said that the new Whippet Six is equipped with a séven-bearing crankshaft, being the first low-priced six to incorporate this advanced feature, thus follow- ing the company’s policy of includ- ing features of higher-priced cars in the lowest-price ranges. The announcement of the new low-priced Whippet Six with ad- vanced engineering features follows closely upon two other r:ajor moves of the Willys-Overland company. The first was the price slash on the Whippet four-cylinder models which placed these cars in direct price competition with the new Ford mod- els. The second move was the re- tent $160 price reduction on the Willys-Knight Standard Six which brought Knight-engined sixes to the lowest price in mae Overland his- tory. It wai that this new price is du sony to the record- breaking sales that have piled up in the first quarter of this year, the first three months showing an in- crease of 42 per cent over the same period of last year and also set a high mark for any 90-day period in Wile oneal Paget ft Auditoriom The beers bane was held at the city auditorium and is one of a sa- ries of 50 business meetings ing held by the company in various sec- tions of the country. A new financial credit plan which should further enlarge the cn expanding market for the Wh! and Willys-Knight cars also was announced by Mr. Rowland and was received with unusual enthusiasm by the Willys-Overland merchants. The new time payment plan 1s|cently ordered here from Fort dealers as a; Leavenworth, looked upon by the great ald in increasing their sales to the purchaser who buys on time mayments. It was said that this elan places the sales of Whippe's i and Willys-Knights on basis which is among the vorable and reasonable tended in the retail sale of cars. This financing plan is made pos- sible by a contract entered into for & period of years between the Wil- lys-Overland company and the Com- mercial Credit company of Balti- mor e of the largest azi strong- est tomobile financing corpora- tions in the sot heel etl Tax Commissioner’s Office Is Getting Back to Normalcy ‘Having been “snowed since March 15 with income tax re- ports filed by North Dakota citizens, the income tax department of the state tax commissioner's office is slowly returning to normalcy. Receipts for all taxes paid have either gone out or are being placed in the mail, with the exception of those in which errors were made by the taxpayers. These are being audited as rapidly as possible. As in previous years a Jarge num- ber of persons sent in checks for more than the amount due the state as income taxes. In the past these checks were cashed and the depart- under” ig returned with a request that « ew check be drawn for the right mount. In cases where improper compa- tations were made and the checks nor the taxpayer as rapidly as possible 80 as to straighten out the difficuity and avoid dispute with or incon- venience to the taxpayer.
