WHY THE OVERLAND
go" is POPULAR

If you will notice, you will see the
little new $50" Overland bobbing
around whole lot more than you
did before. Well, the reason for this
popularity is, that the little thrift car
is all that the name implies. 1t is not
only economical in gas, oil, but it is
light on its feet for the average
tire mileage runs into the 5000 mile
class, and for the average Imperial
valley roads that is some mileage.
Furthermore" says Harry E. Glenn
who is local manager for the Imper-
al velley distributors for the Willys-
Overland line of cars, their pouari-
" will increase daily, owing to the
fact that they are all car, when you
stop to consider that small car sell,
ing for les sthan 81 900 with a CONT
rental motor, vacuum gas feed, Tim
ken bearings, with aful floating rear
axle, as well as all the other features
that are evolved in this little model,
it stands to reason that it will surely
become a favorite with the MOTORING
public in the valley, and believe me,
when it, comes to riding, it is in a
class by itself. and if you don't be-
,ieve me, just try t."

PIONEER OF THE OLD

Joseph Allison died at his home in
Los Angeles Saturday night. He was
66 years old and was among the first
Americans born in the city of San
Diego. -
Mr.. Allison was for many years of
his early life prominent business
man in San Diego. Later, on ac-
count of his health, he was in the cat
tie business in what is now Imperial
valley. This was before the valley
was reclaimed from the desert by the
bringing in of the waters Of the Col
orado. Up to a year or two ago he
was deputy collector of the port, To-
Gated at Calexico. He was an unas-
suming man. of high character and
had many fiends.
Chester Allison, a son, was for ma
ny years chief engineer for the Cali
fornia Development company, and
during recent years engineer for the
Blythe enterprise on the Colorado riv-
er an for number of irrigation COM
panies in the Imperial valley on both
SIDES of the boundary line. Another

cect of Los Angeles, and the daughter

lies eastward into the region invaded
by them but held by them with reduced
forcese.
1t was evident, however, that the
enemy's inactivity on the Plave was
part of a strategic plan, by which his
of forces on the north would
not only permit him to make an of
fensive in the mountain regions, but
would also give him a position on the
Italian left flank in case of an Italian
advance across the Piave into the in
vaded region. He was willing, there
fore, to leave the Piave with compar-
atively light forces and concentrate
most of his strength in the noun
tains.
