W|LLYS STARTS
BUYING REVIVAL BY
REDUCING PRICE
President of WHY'S Over
land Repeats Plan Sue
cessful in 1915

John n. Tuiys president OF WHY'S
Overland again drove home the TRUTH
that history not only repeats. but can
os made to repeat. when he announced
smashing price cuts in Overland and
WHY'S knight motor cars this week.
WHY'S sharp reduction TO lower
prices at this time. according to WHY'S
Overland distributors. has stimulated
markets in the low priced automobile
fed just as his startling price reduc-
tons in 1915 opened q great buying
way FOR Overland cars at that time
The Willy Overland reductions Will
take effect. June 1. bringing the price
Of the Overland Modal 4 touring. the
most popular model TO the lowest
hgurs at which It has ever been Of
fa-ed, $ss6. This is 50 per cent less
than the price OF last September and
is s2oo reduction from the prizes OBJ
tAined tails sprins. Deep reductions
were uadA in all models. the Overland
couple beInS reduced to $1,000.
Wt!lys knight reductions now class
the Wulys-knight car among the
very lowest priced Of the hne car
group. The WHY'S knight reduction is
$500 on the touring car bringing II to
tl,ss6. and the WHY'S knight sedan
Is reduced June hrst to $2.750.
According to WHY'S Overland dis
trinutors this courageous and char
AeteT1Stie move on the part OF the
Wulys-Overland head promises TO
have the same effect upon WHY'S
Overland trade which a similar cut had
IN 1913, and there is evidence OF this
fact In a notice that has been received
that the Willys-Overland plant Will
increase its production so per cent in
June ever the month OF May
While this reduction is said to rep
resent a loss on every car sold at THIS
lime, there is little doubt n the minds
Of the eompany's officials that business
will be so stimulated that savings in
quantity production will soon offset
the loss.
In speaking Of the factors which
brought about price reductions WHY'S
said. I have always held to the ideal
Of building cars which might be de
scribed as designed BY the public. We
have tried TO give the public Just what
q wanted and to keep our price al
low point 80 that the car would always
be e good Investment.
Z have had 10 mind for a long time
that the Overland car should sell at
1875. I recently made a trip among
5000 Of our dealers and convinced my
SELF that at this price the Overland
car would be leader IN popularity be
cause know from our experience with
y during the past year that II Is al

the latest reports from the Illipah
oilfeld tend to show that the ulti-
mate success Of the pioneers. which
has in the last few weeks been recog-
niZed as a matter OF fact but ques-
tion only of depth, is now practically
within the reach Of tie drillers.
1t has about reached the stage
where all are satisfied. but simply

The stage is set and those who have

doors TO be thrown open when they
may witness a show such as the mind

day the drill was able TO make a dis

centrated on copper had the corre-

What was the result? People did
not stop to reason for themselves: il
vas easier to have other people rea-

the hunting was gone, because some

homes in their accustomed manner
were looked upon by the panicky
ones as fools who would remain 10

Then what? In less than six
months Ely was booming and the
faint-hearted forgot the passing
ghost and basked in the sunlight of
prosperity.

One of the peculiarities OF the Ely

Because the sages said that copper
