Dem MANDS FOR
WHIPPETT CARS

Despite the usual seasonal slack
ching of business throughout the
automobile industry, demand for the
Whippet> -Four and Whippet Six con
tinues with such strength that
heavy deliveries are expected to
continue throughout the remainder
of the year. This information was
received here by Lee Bros. Whippet
dealers.
Every month this year the de-
mand for these cars has shown a
large increase over that of the same
months of 1927 explained Lee.
This has been chiefly responsible
for the large amount of business
enjoyed by Willys-Overland during
all of 1923. Factory reports show
that every monthly production
record of the past has been shatter
ed this year. Soon after the first
half of this year was over deliveries
of Willys-Overland products were
greater tnan during tn entire year
of 1927.
immediately after prices were
reduced on the Whippet Four bring
ing them to the lowest point in the
company s history and the intro
duction of the Whippet Six at the
lowest price ever reached by six
cylinder car, the heavy demand was
started. 1t was found necessary to
expand plant facilities and start up
production % percent to keep pace

For a time there were 10000 un-
filled orders on the factory books.
GAS the demand grew so did the
list of dcalerships. This dealer or
ganization showed the greatest in
crease in the company history,
1900 new ones being added to the
list during the last eight months.
This naturally widened the field for
WillyOverland products.

AMERICAN CARS
NOT WELCOMED
BY EUROPEANS

"Takc my humble advice-if con
templating touring Europe in your
American-made automobile, do not
plan on selling it on the continen,
just before your return. The loss
you would take would stagger you.
Either ship it home or leave il
home.
Even in the face Of apparent
mighty efforts on the part of France
to prevent American competition
with automobiles of its own manu-
facture, most of the well known
cars made in the United States are
steadily increasing their French
business. -
"The Paris automobile show, held
in the Grand Palais, was brilliant
affair, American cars more than
holding their own with the galaxy
of European makes in spite of less
advantageous exhibition space
These are few tersc observa.
tions recorded last week during an
interview with Peter S. Steenstrup.
Pacific coast district sales manager
of the Buick Motor Company, on HIS
return to his western office after
10 weeks spent in visiting various
European countries. In tour prim
arily for rest and a visit to the Paris
automobile show, Stecnstrup alsc
availed himself of the opportunity
of "nalyzing us closely as possible
the present automOtivc merchandise
ing situation in the countries he
contacted.

lists who had shipped their own auto
mobiles to Europe with the inten
tion of utilizing them while there
and selling them before again tax
ing ship. Many of these, he said
were in Il quandary on realizing the
actual situation confronting them.
Heavy Duty Charged
Some idea of their dilemma may
be gained by the realization that
France cXacts duty of approx.
matclv 81 per cent on the total price
of their ear. This, with the addl-
tion of various other entrance and
transportation charges, brings the
expenditure for the car to abou,
twice its list price by the time
France is reached. Then comes the
dolcful surprise on attempting to
sell it before the return voyage
French dealers will give no moro
than 35 or 40 per cent of the ori-
ginal cost on a ear not more than
five or six months old. 1t then be-
comes apparent that if any sal
wage whatever is to be had, the car
must be returned to this country.
"At the Paris show Buick had an
extensive exhibit and attracted
more than its share of attention and
comment in the American section.
On the streets of Paris and through.
out the whole country, us well as in
England, the new Silver Annivcr.
sary models are seen everywhere.
Europe has taken especially kindly
to the effective embodiment of the
Continental motif of the curve in
the new Buick body.

Equalized Pressure
In order to stop an automobile
quickly and safely, DeSoto en-
gineers say, it is necessary that
equal braking power be applied to
each wheel. The DeSoto hydraulic
brakes are self-equalizing and their
adjustments are few and simple.
In the past motorists have COM
planned that water, splashcd from

was being washed, interfered with
the efficient performance of the

are not subject to this drawback.
They are of internal expanding con.

built to form housing over the
drum in such manner that all dirt,
