DO not ask him about GASOLINE CON
SUMPTION, but ask users of the same
make OF ears and get their experience.
The OVERLAND Model s5-4 and lar
ger sizes all use the Vacuum system
which gives more miles per gallon than
pressure tank and other systems.
And last but not least, see what kind
OF Electric System is used and do not
take the complicated kinds. The OV-
ERLANDS use the Auto-Lite, Volt
system and we have not seen or heard
of any more simple and easy to keep
IN repair and adjustment.
Our Model 7-5B is a 311h H. p. Ma
chine and sells for $6S5OO delivered
to you. Our Model S5-4 is 35 H. P
and sells for $4,000 delivered to you.
Our Model $50 cylinder is 40 to As
/ H. p. and sells for $4,000 delivered
to you.

These cars are MORE AND BETTER
for the price than any cars made in
America today. SO say people who

Practical Points For Prospective
Buyers

When you are about ready to buy
an Automobile, be sure you select a
car that has a FACTORY not an as
sembling plant) behind it.
Be sure you select ear that is sold
by a firm that will give you FACTS
AND FIGURES, and then make com
PARSONS for yourself.
Ask the fellow who is trying to sell
you a car the SIZE Of his engine-not
what he says is the Horse Power but
the Bore and Stroke Of his engine
The OVERLAND Model s5-4 has cy-
finders AS 4 y inch. We claim 35
H. P, but we know Of people who
CLAIM 40 to As H. P. for cylinders
not SO large.
See if motor has Printing Cups in
cylinders. This is important as you
will find out when you 60 to start mo
tor when it is very cold. All OVER
LANDS have Printing Cups.
Ask him how many main or station
airy bearings in his engine. The OVER
LAND Model S54 has FIVE main Of
stationary bearings on crank shaft
Don It you know that is the best con
struction2
Ask him what kind Of Bearings il
front wheels Don It take car who's
front wheels run on Balls and Adjust

CHAPTER XVII.

IL was one of those nights under
whose brooGing wings vague things
and influences are astir and in the
making. Dawn had gone back for a
few days to her brothers lonely cabin
on Tribulation to set his house in or.
der and to do his simple mending. Per
haps in her own heart there was an.
other reason-an unconfessed unwil.
lingness to stay at the bungalow while
she must feel 80 far away from Jua-
nita and see Roger Malcolm seemingly
so near.
In her heart vague things we're stir.
ring. too. and In another heart This
fact that she had not been allowed TO
