The Discovery

Here is an outline of the story-lust enough
to make YOU want it all
Two years ago, Mr. John n. WHY'S was d
dealer in automobiles. There came to him one
day remarkable car-evidently the creation
of a mechanical genius. The simplest, sturdi-
est, Notwithstanding car that any one
around there had seen.
The name OF the car was the Overland
And the price-then $l,250-was as amazing
as the car itself.
The sale of this car spread like wildfrc
Each car sold brought a call for twenty others
like it, Old and new motor car owners came
by the score to deposit advance money-at
tracted by the Overland's matchless simplicity.
But the cars did not come. And when Mr.
Willys went to the makers he found them on
the verge of receivership.

payroll, took over the plant and contrived
to fill his customers orders.
Then the cry came for more cars from every
place where an Overland had been sold AS
the new cars went out the demand became
overwhelming The factory capacity was out
grown in short order. Then tents were erected
Another factory was acquired then another :;

The Pope Toledo Plant

MIR. Willyss next step was to buy the Pope
Toledo factory-one of the greatest automo-
bile plants in the country. This gave him four
well-equipped factories-lust 10 months from
his start.
But the Toledo plant wasn't sufficient. So
he gave his builders just 10 days to complete
an addition larger than the original factory.
Then he equipped these buildings with the
most modern machinery-with every conceiv-
able help and conveniencc--sO that cars could
be built here for less than anywhere else
Now 1000 men work on Overland cars.
The output is valued at $4,000 per day The
contracts from dealers for this seasons de
livery call for 10000 cars
Now this man has acquired q acres around
his Toledo plant. And his purpose is to sec
from this time on-that those who want Over
lands get them.
