ANNOUNCES REDUCTION IN
PRICE
Xo better indication of the increased
demand for Willys-Knight and Over
land closed cars during the current
winter can be given than the an
nouncement from Willys-Overland
headquarters that prices on two of
its most popular enclosed types have
been slashed as a result of a factory
output in excess of all original anti
cipations.
According to the announcement the
price reduction affects the Overland
Champion model, which has been re
duced to $6.55 from $695, a cut of $10,
^vhile the Willys-Knight standard se
dan has been reduced $100 to 1695.
All these are Toledo factory prices.
Accompanying the announcement is
a brief statement from John N. Wil-
lys, president of Willys-Overland, set
ting forth the reasons for this re-
markui.Ie action:
“•January and February production
has exceeded all expectations. Dur-
ing the first month of the new year
''e manufactured 22,048 cars, more
than double the output of a year ago.
In I’f^jruary we maintained an aver
age .^hipping record of more than a
thousand cars daily, closing the month
with total shipments 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 ease of
the Overland Champion, for example,
we find that we are able to maintain
its position as the lowest-priced en
closed car on the market, with doors
front and rear, because of the tre
mendous demand that has ensued since
the original announcement of this
model last Fall. We have stepped up
our schedi^le on this model and even
now are unable to cope satisfactorily
with our dealers’ demands.
Parallel conditions are accountable
for the cut in price of the Willys-
Knight sedan.
“During the current winter, demand
for closed cars outstripped all anti
cipation,” continues the statement. “In
no single year of the industry has the
sale of all-weather models advanced
so rapidly as it has during the past
six months. Our plants have been
fairly swamped with orders for this
type. The result has been increase
in closed car production, with a pro
portionate decrease in production
costs, in which we are desirous of al
lowing the public to participate.”
Always be punctual when you make
an appointment. It gives you a chance
to take a long rest while waiting for
the other fellow to show up.
Club women of Richmond County
sold products to the amount of $559.64
on the four Saturdays during which
the curb market was conducted in
February, reports Mrs. Anna Harris,
home agent.
Sixty-eight women of Robeson
county aided Miss Flax Andrews,
home agent, to carry the message of

Agency in the Sandhills
OFFERS THIS WEEK
A CARLOAD OF
RICHARDSON SUPER-GIANT
The slate surface of the RICHARDSON
SHINGLES offers a durability that is not surpass
ed. It also gives a permanence of color, for slate
is as slow to fade as it is to wear.
The SUPER-GIANT is 10x14 inches, which saves a large
share of the cost of laying... It is 50 per cent thicker than ordin
ary, which adds to durability, and its 100 per cent extra stiffness
makes a roof that is without comparison in firmness.
These Shing-les come in Green, Red, Brown,
and Blue-Black, permitting a wide range of com
binations of color on the roof, and affording a har
mony with the other materials of the building.
Remember—the roof is the weak spot in a house, and that
Richardson SUPER-GIANT Shingles overcome all roof weakness.
Don’t cover a roof without investigating the Richardson SUPER
GIANT.
