HERE is brand new type of car. 1t solves
the problem which has baffed automotive engineers
how to combine riding comfort with light o0eight
and economy.
Our new Three-Poiat Cantiever Springs make
this possible.
These are the first springs of their kind and
they are made of chrome vanadium steel. They are
exclusive with Overland
Because of these springs Overland combines
the riding qualities of large heavy expensive long
Wheelbase cars, together with the advantages and
economy of small light cars
With 10O-inch wheelbase, Overland has the
luxurious riding ease of 13O-inch Sprngbase
The exclusive, ThreePoint Cantilever Springs
cushion the car so that it rides a0e on all roads, they
reduce choppy rebounds and side sWaying, protect
the from road shocks and proIong it's life mini
mize twisting racking of frame and body, enable
the car to hold the road better
The and passengers ride smoothly as though
floating free from road shocks that the sprinqs ad
off.
But this me'0 riding comfort possible only with
these Three-Pont Cantilever Springs, is but one of
the advantages of Overland a.
Its light weight makes possible great economy
of gasoline and tires.

Here's St Louis boys com position on geese which won a prize: Geese is a heavy-set bird with a head on one side and tail on the other. His feet is set So far back on his running gear that they nearly miss his body. Some geese is ganders and has a curl Tn his tail. Ganders don t lay or set. They just eat, loaf and go swimming. If I had to be geese 1 would rather be a gander. Geese do not give milk but give eggs, but for me give me liberty or give me death.

The financial statements of our banks showing their condition at the close of business Dec. 31, 1918, appear in this issue of the Independent. They show great improvement over conditions in 1917 and their 1918 business was record breaker. The condition of the banks are good evidence of the financial condition of the country from which they get their patronage. There's no oth- CT town in the state the size of Carlisle that makes a better showing at this time. All through 1918 our people were called upon for contributions to- ward winning the war. They bought war saving stamps and Liberty bonds above their quo
 tas and still have money left. Oar banks avesuccessfully ham, dled the Liberty bond business, as they have handled all other business that has come to them and have just closed the most successful year of tn cir history.
