insuhing to see the large number of
automobiles on the American mar
ket which strive to get your atten-
ton and prove their worth by con-
-. stantly featuring some one, more
or less, unimportant feature, such
"a q rim or starter. These things are
absolutely trivial. When you buy suit
of clothes do you buy it because Of some
new tangled pockets or buttonsp No.
You purchase ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
fit, cut, style and tailoring.
The value of an automobile is arrived
at on the same basis. Rims and guards,
color schemes, etc., should be consid-
cred last.
: Fundamentals establish values. With
automobiles it's the speed, power, capac-
ity, construction, service, comfort and
appearance you should look to. While
the Overland is the most modernly equip
ped and finely appointed Car made, 1t is
these basic fundamentals which we have
always pointed to as exceptional value.
A case in point is our Model 60 priced
at $1,000. The important things about this
car-the things that really count-are
fundamentals that cannot be purchased
elsewhere for less than $500. II has
