In the first instance Major Mur ray appeared before Mr. Mead, the magistrate at Marlborough-street Police Court. The allegation was A new demand for Willys-Over- that he molested two women; peer- land cars is growing rapidly ining into their faces. Evidence was motor markets in all parts of the given by the police that he was in- world.
toxicated. He was fined forty shil- lings, and had to pay costs.
Production and sales of Willys Knight and Whippet" motor-tars established new records in every month of the first quarter of this year-export sales being 40 per cent. higher than those of any pre- viour similar period.
This popular demand made the first big growth when Mr. Willys said there can be no monopoly in
អ the light car fald," cutting Whip- pot prices to a point of direct price competition with the new Ford models. The demand for Willys- Overland ears has continued ever- since.
Scarcely less unexpected was the recent price reduction in the new Willys Knight Model "58." It is stated by the Willys-Overland Com- pany that this model has created a greatly
increased demand for Knight engined sixes because it opens a wide new market for this type of car to buyers who have never before been able to secure a Willys-Knight car at this price.
With the introduction of the new Whippet Six, equipped with mechanical features of the newest and most approved type, interest of the buying publie brought crowds of visitors to every Willys-Overland showroom where the new car was exhibited.
The increased sales have neces- sitated a big advance in production schedules, as well as the addition of many workers and also the pro- vision of new shipping facilities.
