new RED BIRD A
MARVEL OF BEAUTY
DECLARES M'KEE
Latest Overland Model Dis
tinctiue, He
Says.

Manager San Antonio Overland Co.

Manager San Antonio Overland Co.
Picture long, gracefully lined car,
painted Mandalay maroon with gleam-
ing nickel trimming, a red Spanish
grained uph0lstering and khaki TOP
and the new Overland Red Bird is
yisualized.
This model fresh from the great
Willys-Overland factories at Toledo,
Ohio, Is making signal impression on
the motorist who is looking for some
thing that incorporates restful riding
with gratifying racy lines of an ex-
ceptionally pleasing appearance.
And the restful riding qualities are
definitely established. There is a wheel
base of LOG inches and spring base
of 136 inches, which in collision with
the famous Overland triplex springs,
make bodily comfort anything but
mere fanciful turn of words.
The body is roomier, seats wide and
deep, that allow the passengers to sit
in them and not on them. There is
a noticeable lack Of freaEishness and
yet the style and grace asked for in
this type of turing car IRE showing
in every contour Of the design. Red
Spanish grained upholstering give in
terror beauty and the Mandalay ma
room on the body is subtle shade that
sets off the sprightly makeup of the
whole assembly.
The khaki top with red bindings and
welts adds a flavor to the artistic
taste displayed in this winning crea.
ton, that is so tempting to the eye
and so perfectly and tremendously at
tuned. y
The radiator with bar cap is nick.
eled, the drumhead lamp rims are
nickeled, the windshield stanchions are
nickeled and the frame in the rear cur
tain window light is nickeled as also
are the scuff plates, door handles anS
bumpers front and rear.
The bumpers are part Of the stand
ard equipment on the Red Bird along
with 30 by 31-2 straight side Fisk
cord tires, scuff plates, spare rim and
tire carrier, windshield wiper, speedom
eter and ,dashlight and door grips.
Superabundance of power has been
provided by a larger and more pow
erful motor that ably upholds the mar.
velous records made by the Overland
engine for long mileage on the gal
lon of gasoline.
This notable acquisition to the
Overland series is an suspicious add.
ton, and one calculated to further pro
mote the sound reputation of the
ys-Overland organization.

For some time Dame Rumor has

Dame was mostly wrong. True, the

as to advanced engineering and body
design. but scarcely along the lines

According to statisticians Of the

worlds automobiles are made in the

percentage of this production is alb

marvellous growth of the American au-

GLORIOUS FOURTH OBSERVED WORLD over

vEN throughout the world yesterday Ameri.
Il cans We're celebrating the glorious Fourth
of July-celebrating the one hundred and forty
seventh anniversary of the adoption of the
Declaration of independence.
Not in these United States alone was the ami
versary of our independence observed. In far
off cities of Europe, in coast and inland com
munities of the Orient, in African tropics, on the
vast continent of South America, in fact in every
country on this earth, citizens of America, in
one way or another honored that wonderful ere
alton of our forefathers- The Declaration Of
independence.
Altho all of us are well acquainted with the
history of events leading to the signing and
adoption of the document which brought us our
freedom from European rule it is perhaps not so
generally known that of the fifty-six %signers of
The Declaration of Independence not a one died
with a reputation even slightly furnished. A fact
which supports the oft repeated assertion that the
men who represented the American Colonies at
the signing of The Declaration of Independence
were men of improbable character and unques.
tionable integrity.
In a nation as vast as ours the Fourth of July
must needs be celebrated by the people of the
different parts of the country in a manner best
suited to the customs of each particular locality.
And Carbon County, as in other parts of the
West, celebrated in a manner foreign to any
other section of the country.
Yesterdays Fourth of July celebration in Car
bon County, if it had been combined and held in
one place, would have equalled some of the largest
and most entertaining rodeo shows ever held in
