Notice of Reduction In Price
OF Cars Today

The lahr Motor Sales Company has
received the following price reduc.
ton notice from the Willys Overland
at Toledo, Ohio:
A deep reduction in prices Of Over
land and Willys-Knight cars, was an
nouncad today by officials Df The
Willys- Overland Company. The new
prices are effective Immediately.
The new price of the powerful,
easy-lidlng Overland touring a r.
which oy sheer merit Of economy,
quality and comfort has attained a
dominant place in the light car field,
is $3.50 One year ago, this car sold
for s1O35.
This is an additional reduction
since the reduction of AZ per cent re-
corded from September 1920 to Sep.
tember 1921, a total reduction of AZ
per cent in year and half, the
most radical reduction in motor car
prices in the, history Of the automo-
bile industry.
In 1916, the Overland aold for $615,
price that was thought could never
be bettered. Today it is $115 lower.
The Willys+Knight touring car is
now listed at 1875 further reduction
of $3.50 since the startling reduction
OF 81 per cent last September, total
reduction of 40 per cent in year and
a half au,e
These new prices were made possi.
bic by remarkable economies in manu-.
featuring methods, the consumption Of
high-priced material inventories, the
practical total elimination Of obliga.
tions for high priced materials, the
operation of new, more progressive
and more economical marketing plan,
and lastly, the hearty cooperation in
the plan to build more cars per man
each day, by every employee in the
four plants the company operates.
These new prices place Overland
and Willys-Knight cars in the front
price rank in their classes. For the
past year and a half, the records Of
these cars have proved their economy,
quality, performance and comfort

Fred Plum Wins First
Shooters Challenge Cup

When the general committee OF the
American Trapshooting Association at
It's annual December meeting here
sanctioned special challenge matches,
IL provided an outlet for the rivalry
existing among the top-notch per-
formers and paved the way for extra
added features AT all clpb shoots.
The Mason-Dixon IS the first chal-
lenge trophy to make its appearance.
II was presented by a friend Of the
sport through Mayor William +. Broen-
ing OF Baltimore and was captured by
Fred Plum of Atlantic City. former
champion OF New Jersey, in a match
with Edward Bartlett OF Baltimore.
former Maryland champion. Their riv-
airy extends as for back as 1916 when
Bartlett carried off the honors In the
Grand American at st. Louis. Plum
won month later from Bartlett at
Atlantic City.
When the Mason-Dixon trophy was
set up they renewed their rivalry, and
on washington's Birthday Plum de-
feated Bartlett on i50 targets, l42 70
l20. Several matches are In prospect
with Some of the foremost shooters IN
the East and II Is altogether likely that
plum will be relieved OF his charge be-
fore the Grand American Is held In
September in Atlantic City.
