Buick Service Plays
 Part in Sales Program
Equipped to Handle Service on New
 Car Before it Was Built

Bucks gigantic service organiza- ton. comprising more than 4,00O serv ice stations throughout the United States, is playing prominent part in the sales program of the new Mar ouette, according to C. w. Church hill, general sales manager of the Buick Motor Company.
 Being in a position to properly service an automobile after 1t IS sold is a great asset to any company, says Mr. Churchill, "and the fact that Buick already had established such an unusually large number of service stations. blanketing the country from coas. to coast. when the Marquette was introduced this last summer, is proving an invaluable factor in the Marquette selling program.
 Equipped and Manned
 Under the direction of C. w. Jacobs, service manager of the Buick Motor Company, service stations across America were adequately equipped and manned to take care of the Marquette before it was intro duced.
 The entire personnel of Bucks service organization in the field, com posed of men in all of the regional and zone divisions. were given a thor Ough schooling in Marquette service at the factory in Flint. Michigan, be- fore the ear was introduced to the motoring public. They in turn acted as instructors for the men in the var ioas service stations throughout the country.
 Never before in automotive his tory, says MT. Churchill, has com- pany been so thoroughly equipped to handle service on a new ear as IS Buick with Marquette, factor which means much to the purchaser

Willys-Overland Is
 In Commercial Field
Complete Line Commercial Car and Truck Chasses; Success of Line Re-
 neeted in Increased Registrations

The aggressive entry of the Nillys- Overland Company into the commer- cial car and truck field Is reflected in the increased registration of the To- ledo manufacturer products, both at home and in the foreign markets. With it's line consisting of the Whip pet Four commercial chassis in the lowest priced field. the Willys Six light delivery and ia ton commercial chassis in the slightly higher price range and the Willys-Knight truck chassis in the higher priced range, the Willys-0verland Company offers, not alone wide variety to meet every demand in the commercial car and truck field but provides a new conception in low per mile cost haulage.
 Especially does the Willys Six line with its four-speed transmission, sixty-five horsepower engine and other engineering features offer the truck owner or fleet operator saving in capital. operating cost and deprecia- ton in addition to an assurance that it will meet all the requirements of modern transportation and provide highly satisfactory performance on the highways.
 With a wheelbase of i3i inches the Willys Six has been designed to ac- commodate a wide range of bodies, including the panel body which is fully enclosed with two rear doors, and suitable for various kinds of business; butchers and most retail stores show a preference for the prac- tical canopy top body which Is pro- vided with curtains at the sides and rear to protect it from indictment weather; other popular types are the screen body, stake body, and the open express, the latter with a comfortable driving compartment.
 Another feature of the Willys- Overland line of commercial vehicles is its nationwide dealer and service organization. This assures the owner that at all times he has within easy reach a Willys-0verland dealer or authorized service station fully equip ped to render him speedy, efficient and economical service. This means that the usual excessive lay-ups for repairs because of inadequate servic- ing facilities is never problem with the owner of Willys-Overland product.
 Ih the construction of the new Willys Six truck chassis, no detail has been overlooked to provide vehicle of outstanding reliability, safety, stamina, power and speed.
 The various models included in the commercial line are under steady pro- duction at the company's plants with the nationwide Willys-Overland deal CT organization prepared to show and demonstrate any type which a buyer feels will fit his requirements.

Last night couldn't sleep.
You know how it is with a
strange bed. The pillow didn't
fit. The angle was just wrong
for my neck. So I kept fussing
and fidgeting until the night
and my disposition raveled
away.
Then. just before sunrise. a
thought hit me. After all, it
wasn't the size Of that pillow
that had kept me awake, nor
the angle Of my neck. It was
just a NOTION =. a notion
I had acquired about having a
particular pillow for my partic.

Now, as a matter Of tact, my
neck isn't particular at all. It
is just an ordinary neck and
it would adapt itself to any
ordinary pillow-IF I WOULD
LET TT. But I won't let it!
At some time in my career I
made up my mind that I pre-
ferred a certain size of pillow.
It was a mild. harmless little
preference at first. It didn't
interfere with my life in the
least. But I took that harm,
