NOVEMBER 24, 1928. THH SEATTLE STAR November 22-29 will be Champion Demonstration Week among Willys Overland dealers, branches and dis- tributors thruout the United States. Willys-Overland, Inc, has set aside this period as a merchandising period when greatest stress would be laid upon this most vermutile of all of its models, to mark the climax of the most successful year that Willys. Overland merchants have ever yet enjoyed. For the first time since this new car was first announced oarly in October, all of the 6,000 dealers thru- out the land have now heen fur. nished with sample cars of this type. Factory production has been speeded up to such a point where it is ad demand, For the first time Preat. dent John N. Willys and General Sales Manager L. G.

OUT IN PARADE, GARDNER ADDS All-Season Touring Car In- troduced Here The latest addition to the now thoroughly complete Gardner line, is an all-season touring car—a stand. ard touring car equipped with a spe- cial permanent top, which tncorpor- ates many features of the enclosed, Paneled body (especially closed car comfort in winter weather), yet one that 1s very easily converted into an open touring top for summre driv- ing. The top {s a thoroughly practical effair, neatly and substantially fit- ted, which with the winter enclosure attached, has a trimmed compact ap- pearance, and with the winter en- closure removed, the appearance of a well-groomed touring top. The roof {s constructed of hard- wood slats running lengthwise, which are rigidly supported by seven cross- wise bows and two sturdy side frames. Both the bows and side frames are laminated wood, which, aside from being noted for its strength and toughness, {s noted also for its lightness in weight. Thus, the weight of this rigid top Is slightly in excess of the regular touring car top, and as a consequence the econ- omy in gas and tires is in no way affected. | that many have longed for and hoped | Ae pec atiad is nt 2 < pettpi ser a capt ‘or floats, heavy-duty trucks} An aluminum guttering, finished Above—From the timberline on Klipsun (Indian for sunset) ridge, mountain climbers | vorgentiy useful car ever brought | Were used, while all of the high is Deak enamel, Cae the gah | gaze across the snow and rock contour of the heart of Whatcom county to snow-capped | out. its front and rear seats can ba] Soe in military, naval and civiljlength of the side quarters and around the front, serves as a drain in rainy weather and prevents water running Inside the top.
