cars, consequently the cost of selling each
of the 2O,O0O-car factory is one-fourth
that of the 5,0OO-car factory and the man
who buys an Overland pockets the differ
ence.
The WHY'S Overland Company has no
fixed indebtedness or bonds. 1t has no
heavy interest dates to fear The stock
is all owned by its presdent-John N.
Willys. He personally directs the entire
organization.
The car shown on this page is Model
SO. The 5000 car is made in two body
styles-hve-passeng fore-door touring
car and two-passenger torpedo roadster.
To start with, this car is a. real automo-
bile-not little, frail, cramped machine,
but a good, big, roomy car that is ample
for five passengers. The motor is the fa-
nous Overland type-4x4 l-2-and will
develop greater power than any other OF
a similar bore and stroke. And as a mat
ter of fact it has more power than you
will probably ever care to use. 1t has the
fashionable fore-door body with door
handles inside and with center control.
And what is more it is built right-hav-
ing the strength of cars that cost twice
the price
In every respect it is beautifully An
ished. The upholstering is of good
leather stuffed with hair. All trimmings
are of the finest materials available This
new model from every possible compara-
tive standpoint is the greatest value for
the money that has ever been placed on
the American market.
We are positive that no other manu-
facturer today can produce this car and
sell it at this price, except at financial loss.
Write for a catalog describing this car. 1t
will be worth your while. This year We
have new body styles, including rum
abouts, roadsters, small and large touring
cars torpedoes and coupes. Horsepower
runs from 25 to As. Price $3.50 to $1,000.
See our dealer at once Call him on
the phone. Get your order in early.

The selling price of any automobile
varies according to the size of the factory
that makes it. 1t costs the plant making
one thousand cars year (of given type)
considerable more-car for car-than 1t
does the plant making five thousand, and
the plant making but FIVE thousand cars
annually has greater production costs
car for car-than the plant making ten
thousand. Consequently the plant pro-
ducing twenty thousand cars (Which is
the largest production of its kind in the
word) can make and sell its output for
far less money than any other plant in the
world In other words, the man who buys
an Overland gets more car for less money
than he could from any manufactures in
the business.

THE NEXT THING

The next thing may be pure fun or
it may be hard work; whatever it is,
the best plan is to give ones mind
and soul to it and cease to think of
what led up to it or what was back of
it.
A professor of physics in a univer-
sity not many miles from here was
heard to say: "The one thing | can
not teach my men is to grapple with
the problem that is right before them.
They don't seem satisfied just to take
the work in hand and put it through.
They try to think where and when
they have seen and done something
like it before. If could get them to
put out of their minds the past, and
consider the immediate present and
the issue that faces them, l should
feel that | was a successful teacher"
The man who is "all there in a
crisis is the man who has learned to
switch his mind instantly and com
pletely to the next thing The sue
cessful salesman is he who thinks not
of the last customer nor of the next.
but OF the man with whom he is
dealing. There are some who appear
to have no ambition much higher
than brilliant social career, and
these have learned that to be popular
one must seem to give ones whole
attention to the person with whom he
is conversing. There must be no d. |
vided allegiance, in business or in so. |
cial intercourse,
We admire those who can ego from i
one thing to another" meaning those |
who in the occupation of the moment |
can become completely absorbed to /
the point Of oblivion of everything
else. An inventor like Edison, hot on
he trail of an idea, is possessed by
he ruling passion and thinks of moth
ng but the quest. This one thing /
To- he thinks, rather than says.
The man who cannot put his mind
IN what he is doing is not wanted at
