INSTALLED IN NEW HOME
Oathout Joins Silver Company
in Peerless Building.

The G. T. Silver Motor Company has
practically finished moving into its new
home In the Peerless Building. on Janu-
airy l. when the concern took over the
lease OF the building, IT added the Peer
less line of cars to the Overland, which
il has handled for more than four years.
Henceforth the two makes will be
handled under the one roof.
The automobile show and the change
OF quarters happening at the same time
generally upset the smooth running Of
affairs, but Mr. Silver has whipped mat
ters into shape. and everything is now
operating like well-oiled machinery.
A notable move was made by Mr. Silver
in strengthening his organization when
he persuaded Charles w Oathout TO be-
come his sales manager. Mr.. Oathout
retired from the motor car business about
two years ago. OathOut is an able sales
man. and his attention TO customers in
former days brought him an enviable
reputation. He assumed his new duties
on Wednesday last.

You Think They Are Different
But Are They?

Next comes the matter of equip
ment. The $3.50 Overland is COM
plete-a jeweled speedometer, top,
curtains, boot, windshield, electric
horn - everything complete. No
$1,000 car made has more complete
or better equipment.
And so on throughout the car.
Point for point - specification for
specification, the $3.50 Overland is,
in every essential respect, the equal
of any $1,000 Car on the market.
So we warn you. Ignore the
prices. Compare the actual facts
first. Then compare the facts with
the prices and you get the intrinsic
value.
We are making $4,000 cars this
year-the largest production of its
kind in the world. And every
Overland purchaser will save at
least 800 and get superior car.
See the Overland dealer in your
town today. Then see any COM
peting car. Make the comparisons
we suggest. Then you will better
realize how hard a comparison of
this kind is, on any other car cost
ing in the neighborhood of $1,000.
Phone our dealer for an appoint
ment, while the matter is fresh in
your mind.

Detailed Investigation Throws an
Interesting Light on
Owners Troubles.
FEWER SIZES ARE LIKELY
Goodyear Finds That Oversize Is
a Strong Help in Lowering
Upkeep Charges.

The standardizing OF everything per-
tanning To an automobile proceeds stead
ily." announces the Goodyear Company
in discussing the outlook for 1914. Not
only il the trend toward fewer standard
tire sizes. but IT will be found that when
the standard has arrived the sizes gener-
ally used will be uniformly larger than
have been considered sufficient hitherto.
''The Society Of Automobile Engineers
is now trying to reduce tire sizes To about
twelve Probably the popular sizes Will
number even less than that finally 1t
Will be remembered that a few years ago
there was a rush toward very large
wheels and tires by certain car makers.
Since then practice has returned to sizes
between the largest and the old bicycle
sizes that were the original foundation.
"In cross section there is a steadily
greater demand for larger tires. There's
a reason for this. This company recently
concluded a detailed investigation of tire
troubles. OF tires returned to manufact-
urers II was found, for instance, that five
times as many 34x4 tires were damaged
in the fabric as In the 35X4ia size. Six
times as many S2x2i3 tires had fabric
breaks as SKI. and the same comparison
applies 10 s6x4 and 37x4ia and 10 3iX3i2
and 35x4
In other words. where larger alterna-
tive tires are used fabric damage is
largely eliminated What little does oc-
cur IN the larger sizes results directly
from under-inlation or accident
Tire companies are naturally adyocat-
ing the use of larger tires wherever pos
sible as a protection not only to them
selves but 10 car owners as well. The
result is already seen in lower mileage
costs
Reasoning along this line. Goodyear is
now making three new sizes OF nO-rim-cut
tires-29x3k. 31x3is and 33x9i2 for 2sx3
3ox3 and 32x5 rims-as move in behalf
OF the generally recognized demand among
tire users everywhere for larger tires"

ACID REJUVENATES CAR
Doping with Picric Acid
Makes for Motor Efficiency.

IF YOU intend 10 buy q second hand
automobile from n stranger or any one
but a reputable dealer. keep an eve open
To see that the car is not 'doped " is the
advice OF II. Clifford Brokaw. principal
OF the automobile school of the West Side
Young Mems Christian Association.
Not long ago continued Mr. Brokaw.
"a friend told me he hal o chance 10 buy
a very good car at low price. He said
he knew il was a good car. because it
could climb the highest hills on high gear.
II could almost jump over a house. he
said.
AN investigation showed that the car
was old. but that previous to the trial
trip IL had been 'doped' with picric acid.
Picric acid. mixed with gasolene will give
a motor a greatly increased power. a
wornout motor can be made to do won
derful stunts by the use Of the proper
amount of picric acid in the gasoene.
Chloroform has the same effect. Picric
acid, however will ruin the cylinders Of
the best motor. II will give the car much
greater power when first used. but |
would not care to buy an automobile in
which il had been used

TOO many people are fooled or
misled by taking bare automo-
bile prices as positive indiCa-
ton of the intrinsic value of a Car.
This is exactly the wrong way to
20 about it. Because one article IS
priced higher than another it does
not follow that that article has a
greater value.
The picture above illustrates this
point. Here are two cars practically
identical. The one on the left is
the $3.50 Overland. The one on the
right is the average similar car
priced at $1200-which offers no
greater value.
AS a matter of fact there are any
number of $1,000 cars which are
not, in value, the equal of the $3.50
Overland.
But how are we to know this?-
you ask.
That's simple. Ask some real
questions; find out some actual
facts; make some specification COM
parisons-and then it is the easiest
thing in the world to sum up the In
trinsic value of any car made.

For instance:
The $3.50 Overland has wheel
base of ia inches.
The wheel base of the average
$1,000 Car is no longer than this
often shorter. So in this respect
you get more for $3.50 than you do
for $1,000.
The $3.50 Overland has a power.

No $1,000 Car has a larger motor
than this. Here is equal value and,
in most cases, more value for less
money.
The $3.50 Overland tires are 80
inches X inches-all around.
No $1,000 Car has larger tires.
Again-equal value-Our price $3.50
less.
The $3.50 Overland has a COM
plete set of electric lights through
Out-the same as on most $1,000
cars. Some out-of-date cars still
cling to the obsolete gas lamps. In
the first instance the $3.50 electrically
lighted Overland is the value equal
OF the $1,000 Car, and in the second
instance has more value than the
$1,000 (gas lamp Car. In either case
our price is $3.50 less.
