The Discovery

Here is an outline of the story just enough
to make you want it all
Two years ago Mr.. John N. WHY'S was
dealer in automobiles. There came to him
one day remarkable car--evidently the
creation of mechanical genius The sim
plest, sturdiest Notwithstanding car that
any one around there had seen.
The name Of the car was the Overland.
And the price-then S1.250-was as amazing
as the car itself.
The sale Of this car spread like wildfre.
Each car sold brought call for twenty others
like it. Old and new motor car owners came
by the store to deposit advance money
attracted by the Overland's matches sim
plicity.
But the cars did not come. And when MIR.
WHY'S went to the makers he found them on
the verge Of receiyership.
The genius which had created this mar
velous car could not finance the making in
the face of the 1907 panic.

The Pope-T oledo Plant

MIR. WHY'S 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-just 16 months
from his start.
But the Toledo plant wasn't sufficient
So he gave his builders just 40 days to com
plete an addition larger than the original
factory.
Then he equipped these buildings with the
most modern machinery-with every con-
ceivable help and convenience-so that cars
could be built here for less than anywhere
else.
Now 1900 men work on Overland cars.
The output is valued at $4,000 per day.
The contracts from dealers for this seasons
delivery call for 10000 cars.
Now this man has acquired 23 acres around
his Toledo plant. And his purpose is to see
from this time on-that those who want
Overlands get them.

The $1,000 Overland

This year an Overland than last
years 81 ESQ CARS being sold for $1,000
That is because the tremendous production
has cut the cost 20 per cent.
A 25-horsepower car, capable of so miles
an hour, for $1,000, complete with lamps
and magnetic. Never did maker give nearly
so much for the money.
There are higher powered Overlands for
81, 250-S1 ,400-Sf 500. They are Just as
cheap in comparison as the $1,000 model.
The Overlands are unique in simplicity.
They operate by pedal control A ten-year-
old child can master the car in a moment.
They are made in the same factory, and
by the same men, as made the Pope Toledo
a $3.50 car. The reason for the price lies in
the production of us cars per day.

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
outgrown in short order. Then tents were
erected.
Another factory was acquired, then an
other; but the demand soon outgrew all
three.
During the next fiscal year these factories
sent out 4075 Overland cars Yet the de-
mand was not half supplied.

BUCKEYE FARMS ARE

That Section Has Plenty of Water

Buckeye and Arlington farmers who
raised alfalfa seed this year ali have
wonderful tales of enormous profits
to tell, according to II. A. HammelS
of Liberty, Gin the upper end of the
Buckeye valley, who is now in Phoe-
nix on business.
Mr.. Hammels referred to recent ar
ticles in the Republican which told of
what various Buckeye farmers had
done in the alfalfa seed business. He
says that there are some still more
startling stories that have not been
printed.
The Buckeye canal is running full
of water and the valley is as green
as in springtime, states Mr.. Ham
mels. Il never saw the Buckeye
country look better at this time of the
year." he declared yesterday.
Several large ranch sales have been
recently made in the Buckeye sec
ton. Recently DR.. H. O. Ramsey
of Phoenix sold an eighty-acre tract
to John Knight for $4,000. This
price as regarded as ridiculously low
