WILLYS-OVERLAND
BREAKS ALL MOKTHY
AND YEARLY RECORDS
President JohiTlN. Willy* Pre
diet* Tht 1924 Win See
Increase in Sales
Toledo, Ohio, Jan. fc—Announce
ment by President John N. Willys ol
.the Wlllys-Overtand Co. of the pro
duction of more than 800,000 cars on
December 15th capped the climax oi
the most remarkable year that
Wi'lys-Overland has had, a year
replete with sensational success that
has returned this organization to its
place far In the forefront among the
leaders of the motor car industry.
Mr. Willys coupled this announce
ment with the statement that Willys.
Overland expects to break every one
o fits 1923 records in 1924 with a
production which at present indicates
a probable sale of 300,000 cars.
Willys-Ovcrland created the first of
its series of unusual announcements
in i923 with the appearance of its
new Willys-Knight Coupe-Sedan at
the New York show.
The enthusiasm whic hthis ear oc
casioned here was duplicated at every
motor display in the country and in
jjvery Willys-Overland dealers snow
room, 'with tbe result that within
thirty days after its announcement
almost every possible motor eaj
chaser in the larger centers of 1
lation had inspected this
l a <Hs
individual crea
ibrtor car design; the first of
a series of refreshing departures
which marked Willys-OverlawTs
career foe the past twelve months.
Another important message was
Sent forth early in spriag-^the new
OVerland Red Bird, a novel creation
in Mandalay Maroon anl glistening
nickel, set off with khaki-colored top
and. extra equipment, in a totally new
prlfefc class. Its success was instan
taneous and country-wide. This wp*
in a limited measure depulicated in
the WiUfs-KnjjgBhibe by the build
ing of tiaJConutry Club model,-.^a
*>andsome touring ear in Cav
Maroon, also. specially equ
want for novelty that appealed to the
buyers of the so-called “sport” types.
But the heigh* of motoring utility
was scaled in njid-fall by the an
nouncement of the new Overland
Champion, a closed car of unique de
sign, actually introducing to the pub
lic something radically fresh, said to
be the most divergently useful car sc
far brought out—the first standard
dosed car seating more than two
pasnngers for less than $700.
The car seemed to sweep the
country; enthusiasm and sales of this
tingle model beln ggreater than of
any other new ear within a similar
period, following les original sn
nodheement
Almost of equal interest to the
motoring’ public were further an
nouncements of new closed car de
sign# on both Overlaid and Willys
Knight chassis.
Of particular interest to-jne du*i
legg man who operates one or a fleet
•rf delivery cars was the Overland #n
nouncement of the new Overbid
Sped, a delivery car chassis, with-four
-tandar dbody types, making possible
sixteen different models, produced
after ah exhaustive study on the part

Another achievement of Willys
Overland has been the series of yrice
reductions .which brought Overland

price in their history, a feat
made possible by changes in factory
production methods which permit the
manufacture of these cars, with high

Down in North Carolina some timi

brought them home and cleaned then
and his wife said:
"You’d better take them up t<
town to the preacher, he’s got somi
friends visiting him and he’s got i
big family 'himself.”
So they put a little salt on then
and wrapped them all up, put then
in a basket an dhe started to towi
to give them to the preacher. On th«
way he stopped at a little countrj
grocery store to buy some groceries
and a little country blacksmith shoj
to get his old mare shod and was
telling about it. And the grocer’s
boy went out and took the speckled
trout out of the basket and put them
in the ice box, and he wrapped up d
piece o frotten codfish and put that
in the basket. The fellow ordered
some groceries and drove on and
when he got to the preacher’s house
he got out and got his basket, walk
ed in and said:
"I went out and caught seventeen
of the finest speckled trout I ever
cleaned. I heard you were having
company so I brought them in to
you.”
Then he took the fish out of the
basket, and when the women got i.
whiff of it they grabbed their noses
and beat it for the door and he said:
"Maria is losing her mind. She
out that codfish in there instead of
the fish.”
And so he took them, put them in
the basket an dstarted back. On his
way back he stopped at the grocery
store in order to get the groceries he
bad ordered on the way up.
The fellow noticed something was
wrong and said, “What is the matter,

Go on back I I don’t want you to

"Losing my mind! I am not!”
And they had one of those domes

He went and got the package out of

“There! Who is losing their

The old fellow looked at them,

Some of you folks did amount to
