Undoubtedly the Industry's
Growing Achievement

For we operate on the basis Of
one executive organization
one factory management
one purchasing unit
one sales expense
one group Of dea1ersto plan, produce and sell
all Overland, WHY'S and Willys-Knight models.
Buying power is concentrated. Costs are dis
tributed over all these cars. The savings are
enormous.
AS result we are producing cars Of exceptional
quality-and marketing them at unusually low
prices.
Every car is built to a rigid standard of per-
Torrance, comfort and appearance.
The new models are listed in this announcement.
They include Overland models from the snappy
comfortable $665 Light -Four to the beautiful
Light Six Sedan at $1585.
They include also the big, handsome WHY'S
Knights from the Four at $1285, to the super
efficient Eight at $3.50.
These new models establish price records, value
records and performance records which we believe
will prove to the public conclusvely that the vast
economies of vast production are the key note and
manufacturing secret of the greatest value for the
least amount Of money.
