Today's Market Quotations

DROUGHT BROKEN, CORij PRICES FALL

CHICAGO. Aug. 23 Belief that moat of the standing crop was out of danger from drought together with reports of abundant yields gave corn prices a downward trend at the opening today. Fair support developed from the break however, and the early decline was recovered. The trading was virtually featureless and the variations were within a narrow range. Opening prices ranged from a Bhade to ic lower with December at $1.074 to S1.08H and May at $1.064 to $1.06. The rallies carried prices to about yesterday's closing figures. Wheat trading was negligible. The first trade was at $2.06 for September, the closing point yesterday. Later that option was bought at $2.05, the trading being confined to evening-up transactions preparatory to cessation of all deals in the Sept. option. Scattered buying of oats started that grain unchanged to a shade higher. Subsequent fluctuations were within narrow limits. Provisions ruled lower in sympathy with the weakness of the hog market.

It is not enough for a car to have plenty of power. Nor is it enough for a car to be light in weight. The relation of power to weight, and of the weight of one part to the weight of another in other words, balance, is an allimportant factor. Be the individual units of a car ever so efficient in themselves, lack of proper and perfect balance means poor performance, costly upkeep and short life. So-it is with considerable gratification that we express our belief that the Willys Six, with its wealth of power, is one of the most scientifically balanced sixes on the market, regardless of price. The long, sweeping lines of the Willys Six distinguish it as one of the year's advanced models. The graceful double-cowl effect and the low, sloping windshield add just the right touch of snappiness, and the rich finish brings out the beauty of the car. It is light olive green, with lighter green wheels, set off in pleasing fashion by the black f enders and nickel trimmings.

And its comfort Is on ft par Its beauty. The long wheelbase and oversize tires, together with the balanced weight of the car, would mean comfort even with ordinary springs and upholstery. But with the long cantilever rear springs and resilient spring-cushion upholstery, riding is more than merely comfortable it is luxurious. To appreciate the beauty of this car you must see it to realize the wonderful riding qualities you must try it. If you are considering the purchase of a car, you owe it to yourself and family to investigate the Willys Six. Remember it is a guaranteed investment. You get an absolute guarantee covering every car put out by the Willys Overland Co. Ask those who are driving our cars they are our best advertisement. 45 horsepower L-head Continental Motor Vacuum gasoline system 120-inch wheelbase 33x4 y2 -inch tires, non-skid rear Cantilever rear springs Spring cushion upholstery
