WAIT for the Revolutionary Six NCE again we council - you to wait. Price, Performance, Econ- omies and Fine Appearance will well justify a little more patience. At the offices of the Cor- poration, a great flood of inquiries comes in on the tide of every mail. At the great Elizabeth, N. J. plant, every nerve is being strained to hasten the Day of Big Production —400 to 500 Sixes day after day. By this time, all America is realizing that the Six is not merely the most re- markable car of the year, but one of the few Epoch- Making Cars of Automobile History. Automobile men on all sides are complimenting us for our American spirit in overcoming the many ob- stacles, which, for years, had made the coming of sucha car impossible. Today the Six is fully developed. Each of the revolutionary forward steps two years of testing, over asphalt and mud, levels and hills, smooth roads and ruts 200,000 miles of it. Each of the new princi- ples has won the approval of prominent members of the Society of Automotive Engineers. One of them, the new three point Canti- lever Spring Suspension, accomplishes a remarkable result—in effect adding a good 30 inches to the 112 inch wheel-base and giving this light economic car (ap- proximately 2,100 pounds) all the road luxury of those ponderous extravagant palaces of 142 inch base, The chassis also is radically simple—eliminating costly material and greatly expe- diting quantity production. A car of handsome ap- pearance, that gets you about as only a Six can— averaging 17 to 20 miles per gallon of gasoline through- out the tests The People’s Six—Eco- nomic to Buy—Economic to Keep. Shortly, from Elizabeth, the base of production, great train loads of Sixes will be shipping to the four points of the compass. . And at the other exten- sive plants of the Willys Corporation—at Toledo, O., Syracuse and Poughkeepsie, N. Y., production of the Auto-Lite, New Process Gears and Willys Light will go on in the never-yet- achieved effort to keep pace with increasing demand. To date over a million and a half Auto-Lite sets have been produced and market- ed—New Process Gears are being produced for over 2,000 automotive vehicles per day—the Willys Light is just coming into produc- tion, and, in one single month, has booked orders for 20,000 sets. Each of these industries is a source of supply for the new Six—in fact, practi-, cally every item of the new car, from raw material to finished product, is pro- duced by the Willys Cor- poration, or by controlled and closely allied indus- { Anyone desiring further information about the plans and car program of the Willys Corporation should write for our booklet. . — a Willys Corporation 52 Vanderbilt Avenue, New York ° N.

DESIGNS ARE! FAR ADVANCED The policy of the Cole Motor Car company, as explained by A. F. Haw- kinson, of the United Motors Co., local Cole dealers, is to produce cars that are seasons ahead in design, with mechanical improvement§ ex- clusively their own, that are new to the motor industry, For example, the Cole Motor Car company was one of the first two companies in Amer- jea to build an eight-cylinder motor car. And the first Cole Bight, built back in 1915, carried features just being incorporated generally in other eight-cylinder cars of today. “The time was, in the automobile industry, when designs, styles and equipment changed with the seasons To be in style, some owners felt they had to have a new car each year. With the Cole that time has passed. Evidence of that is contained in the high re-sale value of Cole cars, In other words, depreciation on Cole cars is very low. “The buyer who does not change his car each year finds in the Cole Aero-Eight a motor car that ‘will be in style’. yeara to come, The policy of the Cole company in looking ahead, in anticipating the demands of the motoring public, means for their improvements and refinements in both motor and dy confernetion that are years in advance of the times. “To the man who changes his car yearly, the Cole Aero Eight must ap- peal from purely an investment standpoint, because of its high re-sale value, a condition brought about by the buying public itself thru its ap- TF WILL PAY 7 The weekly overhauling of jear seems like a tedious and jless task.
