A Scotsman attended a race meeting for the first time in his life and after in few nons had been run, his friends persuaded him to put a shilling on 4 horse. Very reinetantly and without ennviction he tendered the coin to the bookmaker and awaited the result of the race. To his amazerneut his horse won at 10.6 1 hd he dashed to collect his earnings. The bookie paid him 11. and the Scot hit each one carefully [“ Wot's-up," "demanded the hookie' in- -dignantly, “* d'ye - fiuk - my mouey" ain't good?""

The Day of the Knight is Here!

IT IS THE

WILLYS KNIGHT

Simplest and most trouble-free type of motor ever invented.

:

It has the most distnctive and gracefully balanced body of any car

in the market.

1-The Willys-Knight car is the four cylinder motored car that makes the six

unnecessary.

The Kaight motor is steum principle.The valves are two cylindrical sleeves with rectangular floss or ports which when they register with each other and the porta in the block allow the ingress and egress of the gases without obstruction. There wide open passage, particularly on the exhaust side, permit a more thorough cleaning of the barat gas from the combustion chamber than any other type of motor, so that every ounce of energy available is utilized from the explosive mixtum, which gives us sich tremendous power

2-It has no valve to grind and no carbon to clean..

The combustion chamber is completely surrounded by water and an alloy piston noted for its great best radiating qualities is nisl so neither the combustion chamber nor the head of the piston gets hot enough to buke the residue from the exposed gases to form carbon while there is still enough heat maintained to handle the explosive mixture effectivelye

-It is the only type of motor that improves with use.

While carbon can not form in the combustion chamber, still a certain amount of the residue from the burnt ges works up behind the wide wesling ring in the cylinder hend and, as this building in process obtain, it keeps pushing this waing ring more tightly against the inner sleeve until it completely seals the compression chamber developing more power with every mile the motor is drawn.

5

4-It is the only type of motor that wears in while other wears out.

All parts in the Willys. Knight car an asembled with wide clearance between each other and oil is force inte these clearances under heavy prieure so that the entire assembly is lapping or wearing in on these heavy tilms of eil instead of wearing out. In other word, every bearing in this motor is an eil bearing instead of a metal to matal bearing which is necessary in the construction of a poppet valve motor in order to keep if quiet with subsequent quick

wear and naiva.

It has eliminated ons hundred nad sixty two quick wearing parts necessary in the operation of a cylinderud poppet valve moter. There are no hammering parts such as cams striking against push rods, push rola against valve stems, or valve headbi mapping Lack into their seats through the medium of heavy springs, etc.
