always marked the Plymouth.
No matter what part of the car
may be made the subject of i'm
provement. we never lose sight of
our objective, which is to pro
vide comfortable. SAFE and eco

One reason why we have been
enabled to put these % improve

increased production which sales
Of the car have brought about.
We do not attempt to build
down to a price"
1t is our effort to build up to
the market, and thus give steadily

chaSer's money. Our sales volume
Indicates that this is the correct
method of answering the demand
for a low-price quality car.

GAR PER CAPITA
!. I.PREDICTEDBF
BUILDER
BY L. A. MILLER,
&resident the Willys. Overland Co.

&resident the WHY'S. Overland Co.
Not so many years ago, one au.
somobile was sufficient for the
@ntire family. Soon, however, it
became increasingly necessary for
The average American family to
possess two cars. With lower
prices and the more eXacting de-
gAandS Of modern day life, this
idea Of multiple cars has been
sven further expanded until the
modern American family is rap
idly reaching the point where
every member will have his or
her own automobile.
The reasons for this are OBJ
NiouS. When automobiles we're new
1t frequently was the case that
Of1ly one member of the family
knew how to drive. Usually the
head Of the family did the driv
ing, and when he was at business
or away from home, the others
were deprived of the use of the
ear. Gradually the other members
M the family learned to drive.
Would Like Driving
The women took to driving and
liked it. They were quick to ap-
precite the manifold advantages
Of an automobile in their every
day lives. It took them to mar
ket, and it enabled them to COM
plete their shopping rapidly and
comfortably.
Furthermore, distance was no
barrier and with an automobile
they could easily go 10 or even
is miles out of their way to OBJ
tain better prices and better mar
ket products.
In the afternoon, it enabled
them to visit friends and rela-
NveS. The automobile became
such a part of their daily lives
that they soon found it not only
convenient but necessary to have
their own car.
The older children, too. needed
their own car. It took them to
school and in many cases they
were able to attend better schools
which would have been too far
from their homes and too hard to
get to were it not for the car.
Young women in thousands of
American homes found IN ey
needed automobiles to keep their
engagements and to get them to
their friends and to the shops
and theaters.
Lower prices with improved
quality such as are found in the
WHY'S Six have made it economi-
cal for family to own several
cars. So the Car-for- -every-member-
of-the-f family idea is natural cvo-
luton Of the two-car-per-family
Idea. There is no reason why
every family should not have auto
mobiles for every member.
All Need Autos
The husband or father has his
own uses for a car in business
for pleasure, for entertainment.
The wife and mother finds an au-
tomoblle a highly necessary ad
Junct, not only to modern social
mS' OuC 10 lnOu6Tn housekeeping.
The grown children of today have
numerous needs for an automo-
bile.
Perhaps the mere thought of
selling every family a car for
every member would have oeen
considered ludicrous few years
ago. Today, however, automobile
merchants and manufacturers are
cognizant of the fact that every
family is prospect. regardless of
the fact that the family already
has one, or even two cars.
Unless there is a car for every
member, the family of today and
even more so the family of to-
morrow is not 100 per cent motor.
lied. No longer is it true that
two cars meet every demand.

New Haven Mortgage Firm h.
 terested in Buildings Here

New Haven, Sept. (P-Some de- tails of the conduct of the business of the Connecticut Mortgage and Title Guaranty Co.,, now in a re. ceivership. have been brought out by means of advice asked of the court by the receiver. A previous court or der had revoked the guaranty on about S6,000,000 worth of mortgage notes so that holders of these will be on the same footing as holders of notes not guaranteed. In effect, the design of the guarantee was to in sure the note holders against loss both on principal and interest, the company paying less interest on 1 these particular notes.
 The capital stock of the com- pany is SABA shares on a par value ! of S100.000. There is no other class of stock.
 James E. Wheeler asked the court for advice as to the right of the company to resign it's trusteeship on 200 mortgages, aggregating in value about S7,00O,000. because of certain clauses in the agreement. In this
 way the effect of the guarantee pro- vision came up for a ruling, which
 was made August 1 6 by Judge John Rufus Booth although at the time no figures were given.
 An inventory of assets of the Com- pany has not vet been filed but when a hearing is held September 12 on | confirmation of the receiver this is | expected 10 be offered with state ment as to the exact condition of 1 the company. Heretofore. court ac-
 ton has been in chambers.
