Willys Announces New |io SR th o il do It night and day, over good roads and bad, | thusiast They arc aiving the Nar de- major al at the Preaido In San Changes will be made at Haltimore, Overland Model with a Forty- Horse Knight Motor. LOWEST PRICE OF ANY KNIGHT This is a season of surprises in the motor car industry. The new developments have taken the form of multiplying the cylinders of the old type of motor, of radical price reduc- ‘ tions, or a combination such as that cov- ered by the Willys-Knight announce- ment which offers two radical changes— one in motor design, the other in price. The price of $1,086 s the lowest at which a car with a Knight type motor has been offered to the public. The important difference of the Knight type motor from & poppet valve motor is in the valve arrangement. The Knight type 1s a sleeve-valve motor. The valves are merely shding sleeves. There are two—ome inside the other, sliding up and down between the cylinder wall and pis- ton. In each, openings are placed which, at the proper time in the action of the | moter, come opposite to each other so as to permit the charge of fresh gas from the carburetor to enter the com- bustion chamber, and, similarly, for the burnt gases to pass from the cylinder out into the muffler. The remarkably low price is made pos- sible only by the great manufacturing facilities of the Overland plant and the fact that the car will be produced in larger quantities then any Knight type motored car was ever before produced. Only for the Rich. Heretofore Knight type motored cars have been looked upon as belonging to a “de luxe" fleld, all their own. Their sale has been restricted to the compara- tively few people who could afford to pay a high price for the advantages and comforts which this motor affords. like most other {improvements that have been made in the automobile, the Knight motor upon its introduction was obtainable only at a high price, Its su- perior qualities, however, have caused a widespread demand among all classes of motorists and it 1s to meet this demand that Jehn N. Willys has brought this popular type motor within the reach of the average pocketbook. Model 84, as this latest production of Mr. Willys' is known, is a large, power- ful, five-passenger touring car. Tn it are conveniences that go to make up the quality car of today. In design ond finish it compares favorably with cars selling for a much larger price. The forty-horsepower Knight type motor is the efficlency equal of those biiit by foreign manufacturers for cars selling at from $4.000 to $8.000. The four- cylinders, with a bore of 4% inches and wtroke of 44 inches are cast in one block. Is of Latest Design. The car announced by the Willys-Over- land company is of the latest streamline design. Its symmetrical lines give the long and low pleasing effect that dis- tinguishes the modern car from that of A few years ago. The graceful polse of the car is accentuated by the one-piece cowl dash, gently sloping hood and full curved tonncau back. Front hinged, wide U-doors, with disappearing hinges add to the appearance of the body, glying it a clean and smooth exterior. Frame, run- ning board brackets and battery box are concealed by mud shields. The car is finished in royal blue with ivory stripings. The wheels are gray and trimmings of nickel and polished alum- inum. The heavy crowned steel fenders are black enameled. Has Long Whee] Base. ‘The long wheelbase of 114 inches has allowed the designers ample leeway for creating a large and roomy body. The seats have high, comfortable backs, while the heavily upholstered cushions are buifit on deep, coiled springs, which give the maximum of riding comfort Particular attention has been given to interior refinements. Large pockts in all doors, a hingd robe rail and a foot rest are a few of the conveniences that add to the pleasures of touring in this car. The mohair top is of the ome-man type that can be easily raised or lowered. The curtains fasten from the inside and are casily attached. Their snug fit eliminates the annoyance of flapping. The built-in windshield is of the rain vision, ventilat- ing type with universal adjustment. Theatrical Man Makes Long Trip Betting on Tires Fred G. Nixon Nirdlinger, associated with Klaw and Erlanger in the theatrical | business, and owner of the long list of Nixon theuters in the east, arrived in | Omaha Tuesday evening from Atlantic City in a six-cylinder Plerce. With Mr, Nirdlinger are his wife and Harvey Hop- kins, driver. Mr. Nirdlinger, who is a friend of Mr Lewis, an officlal of the Pennsylvania Rubber company, is using Pennsylvania | tires, and hes a bet with Mr. Lewis In which Mr. Lewis stands to lose a nice round sum if the four tires on which Mr. Nirdlinger started from Atlantic City do not bring him back without a blow- out. Bo far the tires, which have run 1,614 miles, show but little sign of wear, and Mr. Nirdlinger announced that there had not even been a puncture on the way The party left Atlantic City on the evening of July 5, and found fine roads. with the exception of a short run In Ohlo, where the roads were being re- paired. ““The lowa roads were tine,” said Mre Nirdiinger, “and we are muoch pleased with the appearance of Omaha. We have not been here for five years, and it has improved wonderfully.” The longest day's drive was 306 miles, from Philadelphla to Pittsburgh The second longest was from Clinton, Ia., teo Hoone, 227 miles. Mr. and Mrs. Nirdlinger left at &3 Wednesday for the west, going over the Omaba-Lincoln-Denver Highway. 1. 0. b. Toledo t Harvard The World’s Lowest Priced Knight Motored Car HIS announces the greatest achievement in the history of the automobile business. The Knight is the automobile motor that revolutionized the entire motor car industry of Europe. The Daimler of England, the Panhard of France, the Mercedes of Germany, the Minerva of Belgium —in fact practically all of the costly European cars—are equipped with the famous Knight type motor. And these are the motor cars that cost from $4,000 to $8,000 each! 40-horsepower Kaight motor; cylinders cast on bloc, 444" x 444" stroke High tenslon megneto ignition 2047 Farnam Street Practically every royal and titled family in Europe owns one or more Knight motored cars. The Knight type motor is the nearest approach to 1009, efficiency. This motor differs from other motors in that where all others deteri- orate with use, this improves; to all others carbon is harmful, here i 1s beneficial; size for size it has mgre power. It has no noisy poppet valves; no noisy cams; no uncertain valve springs; no- troublesome valves to grind; practically no wearing parts.

JAMISON, President Vacuum tank gasoline system Electric starting and lighting system Control buttons on steering columa Headlight dimmers Overland -Omaha C(;., Distributors The Willys-Knight has the same advantages and is just as efficient as those costly European Knight cars. As we build more cars in a single week than most European manufac- turers build in a whole year, we are able to utilize every modern manu- facturing economy. That is why our price 1s so much less. The Willys-Knight, in our opin- ion, has the least vibration and is the smoothest, quietest and most eco- nomical car made. Have your demonstration at once. Immediate deliveries.
