game at 43 Frederick street.

Trenton's Park Head
Hands Harrisburg's
Parks Some Flowers
Harrisburg's long chain of parks,
parkway and playgrounds was In
spected to-day by William F. Burk,
commissioner of parks of Trenton, N.
J.. and after the tired but mighty
happy visitor from New Jersey had
returned from his long auto trip, he
handed the city department a final
bouquet of appreciative flowers.
"Up until now," he smilingly de
clared to V. Grant Forrer. assistant
park superintendent, "I'l admit I was
more of less skeptical as to this city's
splendid park system. But I'm skepti
cal no longer. I'm convinced that all
I've ever heard of your parks and
playgrounds has been true. The only
amazing feature about It, to my mind,
is the results you have obtained with
the small amount of money at your
disposal." •

Tours Coast to Coast
in Enclosed Cadillac
According to thf general and ac
cepted idea, an enclosed automobile is
fine for city use, but not often thought
of for a long tour. Read Holliday, of
os .Angeles, who owns a Cadillac eight
brougham, is certainly no sharer of
that idea. For Mr. Holliday and his
family arc touring across the continent
in their enclosed Cadillac. SeldoYn be
fore lias such a trip been attempted.
Mr. Holliday's driving schedule calls
for the completion of the trip in
twenty days, with a short stop at the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado. His
route is byway of Grand Canyon, Al
buquerque, Santa Fe, Kansas City and
the National Old Trails road. With
him are his wife and two children —
one a babe in arms.
"There is no vacation or outing like
the one spent in a motor trip, and a
transcontinental trip is the best of
all," said Mr. Holliday, before leaving
Los Angeles. "With a dependable car
like the Cadillac, and especially a
closed car, there will be no discomfort
whatever. We will run on a schedule
which will bring us to a first-class
hotel every evening. Some of the
travel on the desert will be done at
night to avoid the heat of the day."

| The Only Motor I
| Hiat Improves With Use |
9 I
The Willys-Knight motor appeals to every true
economist. ;
It is the only motor in the world that improves
with use.
The longer it runs, the smoother, sweeter and
more powerful it becomes.
All motors are more or less good for the first
three or' four thousand miles. Then the
wear, tear and friction start their deadly <
work and gradually eat their lives away.
But the sliding sleeves of the Willys-Knight 1
Motor get smoother and smoother and j
smoother. Each 1000 miles you run add to
its economy and efficiency.
No Willys-Knight Motor has ever worn out. j
No carbon troubles, no pounding and banging, 1
practically no gear shifting. Just a gentle
operation that's as smooth as silk and as soft.
No valve grinding. Carbon makes it run the
smoother —the only motor in the world that i
makes an advantage of carbon.
The Knight Motor is the power plant pre
ferred by| Kings, Queens and royalty of
Europe. They all use it.
And now you can have the same thing—at a
popular price.
No other car in the entire history of the auto
mobile business ever attracted such inter
national attention. No other new car in the
same price class ever sold so rapidly. jj
Stop in and have a look at the Willys-Knight jj
motor. Drive it yourself and feel its won- jj
derful power, pep and flexibility.
Once you own a Willys-Knight motored car,
you'll never be content to drive any thing else.
Come in and see it at once.
