The Only Motor
That Improves With Use

The Wil1ys-Knight motor appeals to everytrue
economist.
It is the only motor in the world that improves
with
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-Knght
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. J. They all use it.
And now you can have the same thing-a a
popular price,

same price class ever sold so rapidly.
Stop in and have a look at the Willys-Knght

GENERAL COLEMAN DU POINT.
Coleman du Pont was born in Ken
lucky and started his working life in
the mines of the Blue Grass State. He
stands today as one Of the few sue
cessful men who have acquired their
positions by methods that will stand
scrutiny. He has been a producer
not a stock jobber. He has never an.
tagonized any class Of people. Capital
and Labor alike admire him.
Without self-advertisement he does
more charity than do most men. He is
an ardent advocate Of good roads and
believes that really perfect system
Of highways will enhance the farmers
income and reduce the cost Of living
to the cities. He has built roads and
given them to his state, always with a
Sound business scheme to perpetuate
them and save them from being a
burden to the taxpayers.
He comes from family more Amer
lean than most-a family identified
with the building of the nation since
the Revolution. His grandfather was
Thomas Jefferson's most valued per.
sonal friend and advisor in the time
of great need during the dark days
of the Republic.
The great Powder Company with
which he was formerly identified has
supplied our government with all its
powder at a price always named by
our government oticials themselves
and never by the company.
Because Of his great executive abil-
-ty and high standing in the business
world, some of the shrewdest po-
litical minds in the country consider
him as being one of the most likely
dark horses" for the Republican
nomination. They point to the fact
that his success in life would elimin-
ate any need for a friendly Colonel
House, or any other financial influence
standing ever behind the presidential
chair. Nor would he be compelled to
take orders from any man or group OF
men.
Another factor that the supporters OF
General du Pont are pointing to is his
knowledge of military affairs. For
sixteen years he has been identified
with the soldiery Of his state and is
thoroughly alive tc the necessity for
preparedness. He has also had
practical training in politics. hav-
ing been delegate to number of
State and National conventions, and
serving as member of the Republican
National committee for many yeaSs.
It is the splendid business training
OF General du Pont that is pointing
the way for him to the NOM
ration. For it is conceded on all
Sides that the biggest problems of this
country at the close of the European
war will be business problems, and
tnare are Jew men among those men,
toned. who have had his experience
IN coping with such huge problems.
AS a manager of constructive bust.
ness and as reorgsnizer. Coleman
u pont stands n class by himself.
