Republicans on the basis of the dis

proposal. the insistence of the admin

veto Of the soldiers bonus, the postal
pay increase measure and the pension
bill.
Moreover the Democratic preSi-

at President Coolidge. emphasizing
particularly what was described as

WILLYS ANNOUNCES

REDUCIIONS In PkICE
No better indication of the in
creased demand for WHY'S Knight
and Overland closed cars during the
current winter can be given than the
announcement from WHY'S Overland
headquarters that prices ON two of
it's most powerful enclosed types
have been slashed as result of a
factory output in excess of all orr
ginal anticipations. .
According to the announcement
the price reduction affects the Over
land Champion model, which has been
reduced to $685. from $685., cut of
$40, while the WHY'S Knight stand
ard sedan has been reduced 500 to
$685.. All thes are Toledo fac
tory prices.
Accompanying the announcement
is brief statement from John N
WHY'S, president of WHY'S Overland,
setting forth the reasons for this re-
markable action:
january and February produc-
ton has exceeded all expectations
During the first month of the new
year we manufactured 22,048 cars,
more than double the output of a
year ago. In February we main
tanned an average shipping record of
more than a thousand cars daily,
closing the month with total ship
ments of 22,136.
"This remarkable increase in de-
mand has stepped up production to
a point where our production costs
per car have been lessened. In the
case of the Overland Champion, for
example, we find that we are able
to maintain its position as the low
est priced o'~'osed car on the mar
ket, with q rs front and rear, be-
cause of tha tremendous demand
that has ens9ed since the original
announceme~t Of this model last fall,
We have stepped up our schedule on
tins model and even now and unable
to cope satisfactorily with our deal
er's demands"
Parallel conditions are accountable
for the cut in price of the WHY'S
Knight Sedan.
During the current winter, de
mand for closed cars out-stripped all
anticipation" continues the state
ment. an no single year of the in
dustry has the sale of all-weather
