jess WILLARD BUYS
LATEST KISSEL KAR
Worlds Heavyweight Champion
Dehshted With New Auto.

Jes Willard, champion heavyweight
puglilist of the world, is the latest
recruit to the ranks Of Kissel Kar
owners, having Just purchased one
of the latest models Of the aIl-ysar
car. according to @. A. Kissel. presi-
dent Of the Kissel Motor Car Com
pany, who adds: "since winning the
worlds championship. Jess has been
successful in avoiding the clinching
arguments Of automobile statesmen
IN cities where the willard Buffalo
BIZ Wild West Circus mas sppear-
ed.
The champion was very decided on
the kind Of car he would fall for. For
one thing, he wanted . power-plant
with sufncien punch to level any grade
he tackled. Again. he wanted comfort
that would prove a knockout to any
weather and every season Of the year.
Outside of that, he wanted trans
mission. brakes. axles, frames, etc.
that would at all times side-step re-
pair shops.
When the Greatest Ever arrived
and the excitement over the champs
appearance had died down. he i'm
mediately opened preliminaries by in
viting Jess for a spin about the coun-
try. 1t is needless to say that dur
ing the next two hours the dealer
scored more fknockouts' against the
local hills and grades than Jess had
during his entire ring career.
"On returning to the show grounds,
Jess walked about the car once or
twice and said: II have never been
up against a better car before. The
motor certainly has q championship
punch. There Is only one thing, how
ever. against adding It to my train
ing star and that is that while 1
could use this car in the South, a
closed one is what I want as I ex-
pect to be in the North during the
coming winter
with the deftness Of a telling body
blow. the dealer whipped O photo
graph OF a closed car out Of his pock-
ct and said: When you get North,
isn't this the kind of q car you win

Is, but I cannot be bothered with two
cars to which the dealer replied with
the effectiveness Of q knockout: This

car here with the all-year top on

walked around the car. and said: I

"Supposing." says George L. Will

Corporation, I'VE should wake up some
fine morning and -hpd that overnight
some learned savsnt had decided that
the automobile was a luxury and an
Unnecessary playthins. a toy for an
'over-grown boy. and that some four
teen hundred thousand farmers living
in the East, West and South-Central
States Of this country were told that
they would have to give up their au-
tomobiles very soon because somebody
decided that they were. unnecessary
and that no more were to be made
after the present supply had run out
"It seems ridiculous. doesn't It? It
is hardly less ridiculous than the
amount Of talk we hear and writing
we read in reference to whether or
not the automobile Is a necessity.
The Dominion Of Canada alone coll
lects 4.59O.O 900 a year in duties on the
automobiles sent into Canada to sup
ply the needs, Of Canadians; and our
conservative cousins to the north are
not giving 500, 900 to their government
just to bring in toys. The Province Of
Alberta has 10000 automobiles. An un-
prejudiced investigation in Canada
shows that "a per cent Of the auto
mobiles owned in Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta are owned by farm
ers, and 1t Is stated on good authority
that one of the reasons why Northwest
Canada has been such a wonderful
producer of wheat has been because
the general use of the automobile has
increased the farmers efficiency
After this country has been In, war
for three years, the chances are that
our great North Central and South
Central States will need more auto
mobiles than !. .4O0, 100. -
81 do not think we have to worry
about the man who is going to buy the
automobile because it's a luxury. We
are pretty safe in assuming that even
IL his patriotism does not prevent the
increased cost Of living in these war
times. 1t will prevent his extravagance
without the necessity Of special legis-
lation.
THE great problem before US today
Is not one Of deciding whether the au-
tomooile Is necessary or unnecessary,
but how we are going to find enough
Of them to take care of the, needs as
absolute necessities to millions Of peo-
pie, and most Of them who need them
to increase their efficiency and pro-
ductivity."
