WILLYS - KNIGHT EXHIBITION At the Star Theater Saturday Afternoon and Evening. Owing to the failure of the films to arrive the exhibition of the. wonderful Willys-Knight auto features and the Overland automobile, factory, has been postponed and ( will be shown at the Star theater this aftenfoon and evening. These films will be shown in connection with the regular program at no extra charge. I The Knight-motored cars have always been the aristocrats of motordom. The leading cars of Europe—Daimler of England, Panhard of > France, Mercedes of Germany, Minerva of Belgium—were! first to adopt the Knight sleeve-valve motor. That was eight years ago. Today the leading cars in practically every foreign country are Knight-motored. They are the cars that are owned by the royal families and nobility of Europe—by people of wealth and position everywhere. And they cost from $4,000 to SB,OOO. It remained for the Willys-Over-land company, with its vast quantity production capacity, to build a car with the Knight motor at a price within the reach of all. The pictures at the Star Saturday will show the Knight sleevevalve motor, and the advantages of it over the poppet valve motor which is used in other cars. The local agent, Dr. J. Hansson, is bringing these picture herd and invites the public to see them. He will also be pleased to demonstrate the Willys-Knight to prospective purchasers.—Advt.
