This is due to the fact that there are

Beauty Doctors Put Finishing Touches On WiIIys-Knight Five and Seven-PaSsenger SedanS

Never satisfied" is the working slogan of Willys-Overland engineers and designers. who, after consider able experimenting, have added new distinctions to the Willys-K Knight five and seven-passenger sedans.
 These two conspicuously illustrious models of closed car workmanship baave been undergoing further treat ment in the factory "beauty parlors" at Toledo and have emerged bearing traces of the master designers handiwork that sets them apart from anything yet produced in their par ticular class.
 Most noticeable of the outstanding innovations in the willys-Kn se- dans are the longer lines sweeping back from the radiator. These lines have been perceptibly increased in length, giving the car a lower, rScier appearance. Certain well-defned in terior body changes have added room to both the front and rear compart- ments, giving more comfort to both driver and passengers, while an in- genious arrang ement of webbing in the roof of the car has produced an astonishing degree of quietness. This, of course, is one of the first considerations in closed car con- structiofl.
 The windshield, with a lower di- vision that swings open for ventila- ton. a sunshade and a windshield wiper are other examples of the com plete study for every little convent ence that has been made by the de- signers. All of the instruments; the clock, speedometer. oil gauge and switches are grouped closely together on the dash board for greater sym metry, and all of these seemingly small items serve one ultimate pur- pose-to give nearly as possible, per

OLDSMOBILE FIRM FLOURISHING NOW.
Bob NeWman's Concern De- ing Splendid Business On
 New 0ldSmobiIe Six

That an unwavering determination to adhere strictly to principles of in- tegrity and square dealing and un- come, does bring its reward of suc- cess and achievement, is eXemplified in the instance of Robert l. Newman of Oldsmobile company, Incorporated.
 Like many others wbJ early em- parked in the automobile business, Bob Newman started out in fresh breezes and untroubled seas, and did well. Things looked rosy and busi- ness was on paying basis. People wanted motor cars and didn't care what they had to pay. The dealer was sitting pretty" and it was a sellers market Soon the wind veered round and skies grew cold and cloudy and business barques found the going rather rough. Old Man Public wasn't so keen about buying motor cars-he was more intent on learning to economize-and motor car prices began to slump. Bob Newman heroically stuck to the helm of his little ship and trimmed his sails to weather out the storm, and now after various trials and vicissi- tudes he sees the sun still shining and the golden port of Success just ahead. The climax of his comeback was the bringing out of the Olds- mobile Six, the latest achievement of the General Motors corporation, which is experiencing phenomenal success in Birmingham, as 1t is ev- anywhere in the country. It is a real sensation, a six-cylinder quality car for $750.
 In his present organization MT. Newman feels that he has one that will achieve great things. Associ- ated with MT. Newman is Pat" Mur- phy, vice president and sales man. ager for retail sales; J. E, Price, manager of wholesale sales, with R. F. Harper as service man for the wholesale end. The sales force com prises John Baker, lick" Scholar, J. R. Estes, R. L. Newman, Jr., N. A. Reagan, H. c. Childress and o. F. Bonham.
 The shop is in charge of Lee Lyle, whose wide experience and ability assure satisfaction in this depart ment.
 Recently the show rooms and shops have been increased in size, taking in that part of the building origi- nally occupied but subleased for a time. Modern and efficient equip ment is maintained in all depart ments and things are booming in the "Olds" home.
 Everyone who knows him wishes Bob" Newman the fine success he deserves.

THEN EVERYTHING'S LOVELY When everything is gloomy and the

 And the joy of living. once again just
 thrills me through and Then, B'Gosh, I'm all right. When the atmosphere is stifling and
 the sun Is burning hot, And the mercury has climbed until
 it's nearly reached the top, And not a breath of cooling breeze relieves my torrid lot, And the flies compel me constantly
 to swat, swat, swat! Why l just crank my Lizzie up and
 not once do I stop, Till I find cool and shady place in
 some sequestered spot. Then, B'Gosh, I'm all right. When mother-in-law has settled
 down to visit for awhile, And gables, gables constantly of
 symptoms, sins and style. When the house is in an uproar and
 to- stay is "durance vile," And the good wife is so pestered that
 she can't be made to smile; Why I just amble out to Liz, and
 drive mile after mile, Till calm and peace prepare my soul
 for any kind of trial. Then, B'Gosh, I'm all right. I always carry fishing tackle under
 meath the seat, My camera is loaded for whatever
 may meet, There's tobacco in 8 pocket with a
 pipe that's cool and sweet. And 1t only takes & minute to pre-
 pare a snack to eat So when conditions hector me, I beat

HAZARDOUS SOFT TIRES

It is dangerous to run a car with a soft tire. especially If the rims are of the qrfck detachable type. Soft tires, especially on front wheels make steering difficult, consume ex- tra power, and may accidentally be pulled off the car easier than if they were properly inflated. Throwing of tires is dangerous; if. the car is trav- cling at high speed, 1t may even cause the car to overturn
