BIG RECEPTION FOR NEW 0LDSM0BILE "6"
More Than One Hundred Thousand
 Will Be Built


 The reception given the 1924 series of six-cylinder Oldsmobiles Is such that the Olds Motor works of Lansing, Mich, will build better than 100000 of these cars during the next 12 months, according to G. H. Peasley, general sales manager. .Telegrams re- ceived from distributors and dealers show that more than 150,000 persons saw the new cars on the first two days of their announcement. and a totally unexpected flood of orders re- suited.
 The entire olds factory has now been rearranged, according to MT. Peasley, and millions of dollars have been spent for new equipment and lans have been made to produce re- cord number of cars during the year.
 Production of these new sizes has already been started and the factory is will soon be producing about 300 cars per day and plans to Increase e this as fast as the demand warrants and supplies can be secured.
 Orders wired the factory during the first few days of the showing of the 1924 line indicate that capacity production of 500 cars per day will be required within short time. Indica- tions are, MT. Peasley says that the years entire production will be over sold.
 DlStrlDutorS III all the ldIS Cleiee in the country have wired the factory that the new models exceeded their most enthusiastic expectations and the public was most enthusiastic about this lowest priced six cylinder display. In some cities, telegrams in- dicate, it was necessary to turn peo- pie away on the first day as it was impossible for the salesrooms to re- main open long enough to accommo- date the crowds.
 Orders, already signed, show that in some territories dealers expect to sell ten times as many cars. dur ing the next year, as they did last and MT. Peasley says that the only problem the factory now has is to produce enough cars to meet the de- mand,

WilIys-0verIand Bring Out A New Closed Model With Radical Innovations

In producing the new Overland Champion model a closed car of unique design Willys- Overland has succeeded in actually introducing to the public something radically novel and fresh; type of motor car that many people have often longed for and hoped for. It is probably the most divergently useful car ever brought out and an unusually large demand for it is expected from all classes of people.
 This truly remarkable creation, like the famous Willys-Knight coupe sedan has doors both front and rear. The front and rear seats can be easily and quickly adjusted to three distinct ly different positions, permitting a tall driver to manipulate the foot pedals without any uncomfortable cramping of his legs. By the same token. a short driver can adjust the drivers seat so that he can easily reach the pedals without stretching. At the same time the rear seat can be moved back so that the passengers on that seat will not be crowded in

If each lug in turn is frightened all the way, the rim is likely to go on a little askew, and this causes squakes and general looseness, perhaps to the extent of the rim working off.

The ready unquestioning acceptance ot any Packard as product always quite apart from the usual standards of comparison is, of course commonplace of the industry.
 A Packard is-well, it is Packard. That seems to be an entirely satisfactory explanation tor the unique position Packard occupies in the mind of the general public. There is, apparently need to delve into why's and wherefores. s4sassS&ess But press the matter further Ask the Single-Sn owner pertinent practical questions. The sum and substances o the testimony of all ot them is just this: Packard Single-Six supplies complete motoring satisfaction at low first cost and low after which have revolutonized all previous ideas of line car ownership
 Unless you have had Packard experience, 1t may come as surprise to you that representative of all the finer qualities of motoring delivers from 16 to 20 miles to gallon of gasoline, that set of tires is on the average, good for 10000 miles, that maintenance cost is almost unbelievably low. In other words in addition to the satisfaction that Packard ownership admittedly gives there also involved such vital factors of economy that Single Six purchase necessarily becomes matter ot plain business judgment -S In the final accounting when all fixed charges and oper atng costs are considered costs no more and operate Singe-Six than selling around '1,2OO. And how much more the SingleSix gives in return only the Singe-Six owner knows

Y T was soon discovered that Alice
had escaped from the stockade,
and some show Of search was
made for her by Hamilton's
order. but Farnsworth looked
to 1t that the order was not
carried out. He thought he saw
ar once that his chief knew where
she was. The mystery perplexed and
panied the young man. and caused
him to fear all sorts of evil; but there
was a chance that Alice had found
a safe retreat and he knew that moth
ing but I'll could befall her If she were
discovered and brought back to the
fort. Therefore his search for her
became mis- own secret and for his
own hearts ease. And doubtless he
would have found her; for even han

it's object; but a great event inter
vened and swept away his opportu-
nifty.
Hamilton's uneasiness, which was
that of a strong, misguided nature
trying to justify Itself amid a confu-
sion Of unmanageable doubts and mis-
givings, now vented itself in a re-
sumption Of the repairs he had been
making at certain points in the fort.
These he completed Just in time for
the coming of Clark.

As he spoke he arose from his seat
at the card table and went to look
after the toddy, which, as an expert,

Hamilton frowned. The mention Of
Clark was disturbing. Ever since the
strange disappearance Of Lieutenant
Barlow he had nursed the fear that
possibly Clark's scouts had captured
him and that the American forces
might be much nearer than Kaskas-
kia. Besides, his nerves were Unruly,
as they had been ever since the en-
counter with Father Beret; and his
vision persisted IN turning back upon
the accusing cold face of Alice, lying
in the moonlight. One little detail OF
that scene almost maddened him at
