How can we market this car at this prios2 By
making 10000 cars year. Increased production brings
decreased selling prices. There IS the answer m
small words.
France IS famous for its automobiles, yet We turnf
out IN one year as many cars as al the French fac-
tories combined The United Kingdom IS equally
famous for motor cars, yet we almost double the COM
bined output of all the English factories under the sun
The Overland factories Alone make nearly three times
as many cars as the combined factories Of Germany
And when you total the annual automobile prodnc-
ton of such countries as Holland Russia and Sweden,
you find they do not make as many cars as Of
individual dealers handle In one single year.
We have more agents IN some states dhan most
American factories have In all the United States. We
export more cars than the annual output of any
automobile factory IN Europe. Some of our
American dealers alone take more cars annually than
most American factories turn out IN a year. That
IS what 10000 cars year means And that, and only
that, IS why we make and market for $96S what
others are forced TO get Sl2OO for.
We want to place the utmost importanse On the
fact that the big value Of this car found In the vital
things the long wheel base the big MOTOR the splen.

the pressed steel frame, the complete equipment etc
