BIG BUSINESS
HAS SENTIMENT
AYERS WILLYS
Continued from page ID

The automobile manufacturer,
pointing cut that many small auto
companies had gone out of exist
ence, declared his belief that ulti-
mately the automobile business
would fall into fifteen or so bigr
companies, and he declared the
Willys-Overland Intended to be one
of .hem.
Mr.. WHY'S tnankcd Bismarck for
the warm reception, received here;
w. Z. Lahr and the dealers for their
interest and The Tribune for its
Overland edition yesterday.
Talks as Salesman
l.. G.. Pced, general sales manager
talked shop to the dealers. Among
other things he told the stories of
several members of the 100000
club those who had sold that
amount of cars or more in year.
He declared the lesson in each case
was not genius, but hard work and
long hours.
Ward Canady, head Of the United
States Advertising Corporation which
handles Willys-Ovcrland advertising,
talked briefly. He explained that
the entire appropriation of the com
pany in a year for advertising was
several million dollars.
He declared the necessity of dra-
matizing everything said-of making
every cent count. There is news
paper in each community of the
country, where there is live news
paper, aiding, he said. Over 5000
newspapers are used. Magazines
and other agencies are used. All of
these agencies are used for defin-
ite purpose, and every cent spent in
advertising, he explained, is a part
of big plan.
Improvement Here
J. /. Bell, vice-president of the
First National Bank, spoke briefly.
Mr.. Bell explained that sometime
ago something began to happen in
the Northwest. A few truths began
to dawn, he said, the banking sit
uation became better and improve
ment began to dawn.
This Improvement is coming as
sure as the dawn is coming, and
diversification in farming will have
much to do with it,, he said.
He cited the report made to him
by a farmer recently of sales of cat
tie, corn-fed, and declared that many
would be amazed at the total volume
of cattle and hog sales made by
farmers in this territory this win
ter, He predicted there would be
80 to 75 percent more hogs raised
in Burleigh county This year, and,
as. much more corn.
sf When country is q hog and corn
country. it is prosperous" he said.
''The future is with u.s..
The speakers were introduced by
w. r. Lair, president of the Lahr
Motor sSales Company, who thanked
the dealers for their cooperation,
Mr. WHY'S and others for their
presence and declared he was mighty
proud Of the cooperation. Mr.. Lahr
remarked that some years ago he
said as. lsng as John WHY'S was at
the head of the Willys-O Overland Au-
ttoimpbile Company he would stick
With it and that his faith had been
vell rewarded.

Automobile dealers throughout the
country are reporting, it is said, an
amazing strong demand among mo-
torists this spring for color in cars,
and special or sport equipment.
To meet this demand quickly, the
Chevrolet Motor Company has added
to its standard line of cars new
modc!--thc Touring De Luxe which
CoIwin Motor Co. is now displaying
in their showrooms on Main ST."
Referring to this addition ~ -.
line, Mr.. COrwin says:
''Thc new Chevrolet Touring De
Luxe is not only smart looking
car but the manufacturers have put
really startling values to it. At its
price it cannot be compared with
anything approaching it in engineer
ing quality, finish, special equip
ment, and appearance.
The chassis is identical with that
of the powerful, economical stand
ard Chevrolet Touring. The body is
hand finished by Fisher in gray
blue, with cardinal triple stripping,
the stcl disc wheel being given the
same color treatment. 1t has special

WooIworth Supplies Sensa-

BY STUART II. WEST

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WALL STREET. NEW YORK, April
1-FolIOwing the publication OF the
Dawes committee report, the stock
market was inclined to harden.
Whether the report was real in
auence or whether the price move
,nent would have taken the same
course in any event was open To
question But the facts were that
after all hour or more Of uncertainty,
during which individual stocks were
depressed, moderate upward turn
occurred.
The sensational feature was pro-
vided by r. w. WoolWorth stock.
The last previous sale had been 33H :
Monday. IL had sheer drop this
morning of over 50 points. This
came with the announcement of the
long expected recapitalization plan
which calls for an issue OF new STOCK
on the basis OF four to one. The ne"
shares will pay So. an "qulNalent OF
SI2 on the old, as against the preNl-
Gus SIS But even at the lowest prices
1T which the old stock sold today,
the return on the new stock would
figure out less than per cent. rms
means that WoOlworth on the ne"
basis designed TO make it more popu-
lar. still remains a rich man 5

who can afford to sacrifice present
