C. Jess Willartl Is confident that he can defeat Jack Demp. sey or any other man In n. bout of nny length and under virtually any condl tlons. That Is the word brought back hero by Tex Itlckard, tho promoter, who has eclipsed his own records In signing Dempsey and Wlllard to- battle for the championship. He made the state ment as he sat waiting for Kearns to flit an engagement that resulted in Kearns agreeing to sign for Dempsey when guaranteed $27,500 and a third of the m .tlon-plcturo prllleges. lias Started Work Itlckard, however, added that Wll lard Is quite aware that he Is not going to box a Mo ran and has started the most serious training; since ho met and defeated Jack Johnson In Havana. Ac cording to the promoter, Wlllard began looking for a couple of big husklco to take back to Kansas to help him get Into condition. A few weeks of gymnasium work, Itlckard said, will be followed by two weeks at Hot Springs and a trip to the mountains. Then the more serious work of conditioning will begin. Site Still Undecided Itlckard Is irtlll greatly In doubt as to the sceno of the bout next July 4. He would like to stage it In New York if tho boxing bill now before the Leglsla ture passes, but realizes that the public does not desire to see merely a- ten round affair between the big fellows. He wants to send them over twenty rounds if possible. He leans very strongly to the West, and Is believed to have his eye on Colorado and Texas.

H,-v,R.v J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. Wintbn-Salm, N. C. I. Bdh jfo Most Beautiful Car inlmeriat Our Prices and Our Policy The list prices of the Paige fivepassenger Six'39 and seven-passenger Six'55 models have been definitely 'fixed at $1555 and $0060 respectively. These prices are based upon the present cost of high grade materials and skilled labor. It is our conviction that there can be no further reduc tion in motor car prices for many months to come. As every business man knows, labor is the element which determines the cost of any manufactured product. It is, in final analysis, more than 90 of a production investment. A ton of ore in the ground is worth 75 cents. When it has been mined, transported to the mill, converted into steel, forwarded to the machine shop and fashioned into automobile parts, it is worth $1500. And practically every penny of the enhanced value is a labor charge. So it is quite evident that the cost of labor, must come down before com' modity prices can be reduced. Furthermore, it must be a general reduc tion of the wage scale a National movement. And the process, as we see it, is going to take a long time. The skilled workman you rriust remember is no longer receiving a "war wage." He is well paid to be sure, but no man has a better right to fair com' pensation, and he will undoubtedly continue to receive it Where, then, can the manufacturer look for a reduction in his manufacturing costs? As we have said, the list prices of our cars have been definitely fixed. These prices represent intrinsic value the choicest of manufacturing material and highly skilled workmanship. Without a sacrifice of our own quality standards it would be absolutely impossible to produce such cars for one dollar less. The point we want to make is this: We could not afford to build and you could not afford to buy on any other than a quality basis. In brief, while we agree that first cost is an important consideration, we are convinced that Ultimate cost is vasdy more important. We believe that the only true test of economy is years of hard, gruelling service on the road. We believe that freedom from repair bills and excessive depreciation is infi' nitely more desirable than a mere catchpenny list price. These are our convictions. We have held to them staunchly during many fit' ful periods in the motor car industry. So long as the Paige Company is a' factor in the making and distributing of motor cars we shall continue to adhere to them. TheLinwood "Six-39" 5-Passenger $1555 F. O. B.
