lands This is the car which hns
been talked OF so much and which

Other cars received by the Won
Hamm Young Company by the Sierra
ARE the Overland torpedo roadster
and three Bucks. The Overland is
the first torpedo body to be seen in
the Hawaiian Islands and is certain.
" marvel of workmanship and de-
sign The torpedo body is very pop
uIar in the States and almost every
automobile manufacturer will build
II among his 1871 models.
One of the great features of the
Overland torpedo is the gear shift
and brake being placed in between
tlr two Oats, thus enabling the
driver to get out of the car on the
right hand side, If he so desires. Al.
most all Of the other torpedo bodies
have an ornamental door on the
right-hand side, which is of no prac-
teal value whatever. and making it
NO eSsary for the driver to get out
on the left.hand sdic. which Is some
times very annoying to the person
riding on the other front seat.
This ear Is certainly one of the
snappiest roadsters that has ever
come TO the Hawaiian Islands.
