The tremendous demand for OVerlands
has practically swamped the factory.
Orders are piling 10 at twice the rats OF
production. Even with FIVE times the
faetsry facilities of last year, the output
is daily falling iu ther behind the de-
msnd.
Every Overland put irto an owners
hands sells four others like it. Sixteen
thousand 1910 0 7erlands were COT tracsed
Tor last August, simply on the record OF
the four thousand 1909 cars. Every new
Overland that sppears on the road creates
further demand for this wonderful car.
The reason behind this uaheard-of de-.
mand Is sheer merit--nothing else. Up
10 Jauu,ry, 1910, TIE car was never even
advert sed. BIT ths Overland proves 30
reliable, so simple, 50 trouble-proof, so
economical that DOW everybody who
learns the fac. wants one o! these match
less cara.
Men who never before thought OF bu5-
ing cars are tuyiug Ogerlands. Men
Who have owned other cara are buying
Them for their mechanical correctness.
Wealthy men bay them because OF their
handinesp. Poor men buy 07erlsuds
bees u,e they are the fret good cars at a
moderate cost.

are down; lots where the graves have long

slightly holes. In the summer the grass

We are told in the Good Book that We

shall We not still reverence 1t as having
