OVERLAND, % LARGEST
AUTO MFG. ORGANIZATION
N THE WORLD TODAY

The rarid growth OF the automobile
business in this country during the last
few years has made the United states
the chief center OF the industry. The
pace set by our manufacturers, com
bined with the effects Of the war in for
eign manufacturing, has given to
American cars the prestige that once
belonged to foreign cars.
A striking example Of the progress
made by this country is the WHY'S
Overland Company Of Toledo. O-the
second largest automobile manutactur-
ing organization in the world. In less
than 10 years this concern has grown
until today 1t leads all others in the
production Of m edium and high-priced
cars.
In 1909, the year that John y. WHY'S
president Of the company, took over
the old PopeToledo plant and began to
manufacture Overland cars in Toledo,
he built and sCld i65 cars In 1910 he
trebled these figures. In 1911 the total
was 1900. Four thousand more were
added during the next year. In 1913 1t
was $4,000, and in 1914, 5000 In 1915
the big Toledo factory increased its
enCar year just ended that record was
more than doubled.
From that day up to the present
there rarely has been time when
building operati have not been go
ing on at the Overland The original
Pope-Toledo plant nave not been going
on at the Overland. The original Pope
Toledo plant has been literally swal-
lowed up by the huge factory struc-
lures which surround it on three sides.
The present floor space is about $500,
900 square feet, or 103 acres, u times
as great as 1t was in 1909 when the
WHY'S Overland Co. began to enlarge
the plant.

for one-thousandth Of an inch clear
ance, makes sure that the cylinder Is
not too tight for the piston. The no
20" gauge, one -thousandth Of an inch
larger than the bore of the cylinder Is
used to make sure that 1t isn't too
large. for should that plug fit into
cylinder it would be promptly rejected.
However. reflections from this cause
are few and far between, because OF
the accuracy Of the manufacturing OPP
erations through which the cylinder
has passed Two-thousandths of an
inch variance does not ruin motor,
but the aim of the WilIys-Overiand
Co. is to manufacture as perfect a pro-
duct as human endeavor and specially
constructed machinery can make 1t.
Consequently. all Overland motors are
tested to insure perfect piston fit in
side the cylinders, so that there can
be no loss of power through improper
compression. The gauges used are
made of the hardest steel. machined
and fooled to the exact size, so that
there is virtually no wear on them. Yet
20 be positive of this the Willys-Over-
land Co employs a corps of men to
daily check the accuracy of the gauges
used in all inspections and tests.
