head expense each car would have to
bear.
How we'll the leaders Of the industry
adjusted themselves to this new con-
dition is seen in the values offered the
last season. when better cars were mar
keted at lower prices than ever before.
The tendency toward sound, business
like practises in production and market
ing was general in scope, and almost
every great company shared in It. True,
a very few concerns kept to the old
idea and strove to compete with the
new while handicapped by the old prac-
tice Of limited outputs and high prices;
but their market had narrowed to
alarming and almost vanishing pro-
portions, and the real prosperity Of tho
season was enjoyed through the greater
market
The general use Of the automobile
has brought IL to face conditions SINH
lar to those faced by any other utili-
tartan commodity. and, as has always
been the case, the public which pro-
voked those conditions has been the
one benefited.

AN OVERLAND
FOUR AT $615
New Model, at Sensational
Price, Just Put on
Market.

A new fve-passenger touring car to
sell for S616 has just been announced
by the WHY'S Overland Company. Fol-
lowing close in the wake Of the sea-
sons earlier surprises, this latest
achievement Of John N. WHY'S fur
nishes q fitting climax to the year OF
1915.
An electric starting and lighting sys-
tenn and four-inch tires, two advan-
tages seldom found In a car Of this
price, stand out prominently In the
specifications Of this new Overland. In
addition the car Is equipped with can
tilever rear springs, which are prob
ably the easiest riding springs ever de-
signed.
Model rs. as the new Overland Is
known, 10 designed and built to meet
the requirements OF those who prefer
q smaller, lighter and more economical
car. Although the wheel base Of l04
inches allows a body providing COM
Portable seating capacity for five pas
eengers, the car only weighs 2,l6O
pounds. This light weight assures the
utmost in economical operation.
This Overland is a real family ear,
containing many Of the advantages and
comforts found only in the larger and
higher priced cars. With the manu-
featuring facilities for producing cars
In large quantities, the Willys-Overland
Company Is enabled 10 market a car
of this type at price that would be
out Of the question for a smaller manu-
facturer.
The cost Of the equipment alone
would stagger the average motorist II
he had to buy It In the open market
II includes q two-unit six-volt electric
starting and lighting system, with head
tail and dash lamps, and headlight dim
roers: ammeter to register the electric
currents one-man mohair top and top
boot; curtains fastened from the In
side; built-in rain vision, ventilstinG
type windshield; magnetic speedone-
ter. electric horn, combination tail light
and license bracket, hinged robe rail
foot rest, tire carriers in rear, extra
demountable rim, full set Of tools, tire
repair kit, jack and pump.
Practically every comfort and con-
venience demanded by purchasers OF
high-priced cars is found In this popu-
lar priced Overland. The 81 by inch
tires are larger than can be found on
any car with otherwise similar specin-
cations. The electric starting and light
inr system Is Of the efficient two-unit
type and Is entirely independent OF the
ignition.
The cantiiever rear springs with
which the car Is equipped reduce TO a
minimum the Earring produced by driv-
ing ever rough or uneven roads. In
joining this spring with the axle Of
the car the connection Is made at the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-11-21

rear end Of the spring instead Of in
the middle. When the wheels strike a
bump or rut, the reaction Is directed
backward at slight angle instead OF
straight upward against the springs, as
is the case with the ordinary types.
The effect Is the same as that OF
glancing blow as compared to q solid
shock.
In appearance Model 70 Is as trim
looking as any Of its higher priced pred,
ecessors. II suggests character and
stability IN every line. The body Is OF
the latest streamline design, with long,
sweeping curves that lead In an I'M
broken line from the radiator TO the
full curved back. The one-piece cowi
and sloping hood add materially to its
graceful appearance, while the crowned
tenders of heavy sheet steel are an un-
usual feature on q car Of this price.
Concealed door handles and hinges
leave the exterior Of the car perfectly
smooth.
There are large pockets on tho inside
of each OF the doors. while the roomv
seats have high, comfortable backs,
WITH seat cushions built on deep-coiled
springs. The upholstery throughout Is
deep, soft and comfortable. The car Is
finished In solid black and nickel and
polished aluminium trimmings.
The motor 10 four-cylinder.

Of three and one-eighth inches and

speeds. 1t is simple but efficient In

found TO be smooth. quiet and economi'

control buttons located on the steering
column enable the driver to operate

by Unexpected Reduction
OF 500 Before Car

At . time when such a move was
totally unexpected the Olds Motor
Works has announced q reduction OF

in1er car. The new price Of sl.l9b
went Into effect while the first cars
were en- route from the factory to the
more distant points and before the

part Of the builders OF the Odds Is In
keeping with the character Of the
motor car business. which has under
gone such a rapid succession Of I'M

during the last few years.

When Harry Lauder landed recently
to begin his tour Of the States he was
met at the dock by Wee Bonnie

same plaid which he uses in his kits:
Lauder several weeks ago cabled his
old friend Charles Nessong, Of the New

TO tour this country and he said be
wanted q car which he could take
around with him, sometimes In an ex-
press car, when his jumps are too long
to make by motor. He said he wanted

loaded when necessary and which
would be economical II he decided to
drive overland.
Mr.. Lauder is noted for his desire to
be economical, and In this respect It
Is quite q compliment to the Saxon
that he should select 1T for his tour.
Mr.. Nessong wanted to surprise the
famous singer and had the body done
In Lauder plaid, which pleased the
funny little man very much. He re-
fused to allow the chauffeur to drive
It unless he would agree to wear kits.
He backed out when he heard that the
tour might extend into Canada and the
frozen Northwest.
