SALES
TO HANDLE
CADILLACS

A new Cadillac Service sign, just
placed on the big Lair Motor build.
ing, announces the fact that they
have contracted to represent the
Cadillac factory IN this territory.
On being questioned today about the
appearance of the Cadillac Service
sign, Mr.. Lahr said. 1T is true that
we put up our Cadillac Service sign
before we made an announcement,
but it was only natural for US to
do that, for we firmly believe that
tar sales begin with car service"
YES" said Mr.. Lair, when ques.
toned about business, 'it's the best
year we've had since 1917. We have
sold more than four times as many
Overland and Willy-Knights to date
this year than We did up until May
IL last year. and over thirteen times
as many as we did up until April IA
in 1921. This is not idle talk but
figures from our records.
"One reason for this wonderful in
crease in sales is that the buying
public is approaching more and more
the remarkable value in the Over.
land and WillyKnights cars. The
Overland factory is shipping $50 cars
each day and expect to have their
production up to 1000 cars day by
May l. I wire the factory every
morning, urging them to hurry ship
ments forward, just as regularly as
] eat my breakfast.
Getting back to Cadillac" said
Mr.. Lahr, 1--WE took on the Cadillac
because We consider it the last word
in automobile construction and We
have always had a sort of hapkering
to have that Cadillac Service sign
on our building and to be able to sell
Cadillac to the man who could af-
ford one" a..
