Toledo The World's Lowest Priced Knight Motored Car THIS 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 I Practically every royal and titled family in Europe owns one or more Knight motored cars. The Knight type motor is the nearest approach to 100 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 it is beneficial; size for size it has mpre Power. It has no noisy poppet valves; no noisy cams; no uncertain valve springs; no- troublesome valves to grind; practically no wearing parts. 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 is 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. rU cast mm mm, " a W.
