New Packard Twin Six TAKES ALL PRODUCTION 1 Loiitraots calliiiR for the sale ot 50,755 Saxon motor cars during the season of 1917 have been completed in the last three weeks between the Saxon Motor Car corporation and its dealers throughout the country. 1'end iiijj contracts which will be closed within the next week will bring the total to more than 00.01)0 cars, which will be the company's maximum pro duction for the coming year. These figures were made public in a statement issued by Harry V. Ford, president and general manager of the company. There is a monthly sched ule of cars embodied in each con tract which constiutes a definite order against which the company can make shipments, and it is believed that this is a new feature in dealer contracts. "The rapidity with which our sales 'sartment has closed up dealers' contracts covering our maximum pro duction for the coming year has been a surprise even to me," said Mr. Ford. "Our dealers began to pather at !he factory on July 15 and in two weeks' time the work was practically over. There was a great crowd pres ent, and their enthusiasm over the Saxon line was so great that the work of the sales department con sisted for the most part in simply laying out the territory and filling in the contracts for signature. "It is a fact that we did not 'lose' a single dealer, but in a number of instances we were able to strengthen our previous connection.

The longer it runs, the smoother, sweeter and more powerful it becomes. All motors are more or less good for the first three or four thousand miles. Then the wear, tear and friction start their deadly work and gradually eat their lives away. But the sliding sleeves of the Willys-Knight Motor get smoother and smoother and smoother. Each 1000 miles you run add to its economy and efficiency. No Willys-Knight Motor has ever worn out No carbon troubles, no pounding and banging, practically no gear shifting. Just a gentle operation that's as smooth as silk and as soft No valve grinding. Carbon makes it run the smoother the only motor in the world that makes an advantage of carbon. The Knight Motor is the power plant pre ferred by Kings, Queens and royalty of Europe. They all use it. And now you can have the same thing at a popular price. No other car in the entire history of the, auto mobile business ever attracted such inter national attention. No other new car in the same price class ever sold so rapidly. Stop in and have a look at the Willys-Knight motor. Drive it yourself and feel its won derful power, pep and flexibility. Once you own a Willys-Knight motored car, you'll never be content to drive anything else. Come in and see it at once.

MM OUR CREED 1 D3 I "An Honest Car at an Honest Price and a Fair and Square Deal to All" IN presenting the prod uct for the season of 1917 we experience that peculiar thrill which always follows the doing of some one thing well. "Pride of accomplish ment," 'tis said, "i the mainspring of human en deavor," and we frankly confess it to be the driving force in the Marion-Hand-ley shop. The pleasing result in this instance is a remark able "Six" in two sizes (which they said "could not be built") pre-eminent in appearance, staunchness, and light ness. A hand-made piece of art; carrying 100 per cent of actual structural value plus an abundance of tone, style, and little niceties which discrimi nating motorists appre ciate. Therefore, this presen tation is made with par donable pride and com plete confidence. We cannot promise as many this season as will be wanted ; but each one will be "a first-water gem" and will carry to its ulti mate owner that pleasing sensation experienced on ly through the ownership and use of something more than a mere vehicle of conveyance. 7-Passenger Touring Car Model A $1185 F.O.B.
