What Efficiency Did for the
The success of the Overland is a splendid example of
modern efficiency applied to automobiles. The Over
land's supremacy is due to nothing else.
Here are some features and facts which motor car
buyers, in the year 1911, should be wise and shrewd
enough to compare and consider.

Overland
Amiil all tho changing conditions
in inotoriloiu the coinings anil going,
Cio lips ami downs tl:o soaring pres
tige of the Overland has remained tho
most notable fait.
(her I, nun are already in use. De
posits from dealers on tins year's
models ececd any previous record.
TIhto are live factories now all
working on Ovi rlaiids. Enormous
aililitioiis have been lately completed.
lint, willi all our preparation ami
all our capacity, it is already appar
ent that, the spring demand will again
far exceed our supply.
before yon decide on a car, it is
due to yourself that you lind out the
reason for this amazing success.
It Isn't Invention
The Overland position in not due to
control of any pre-eminent features.
Motor car engineering was brought
close to perfection when Overlands
came enl. The three Overland years
have brought no startling improve
, nients in mechanism. Nor can the fu
ture bring them.
Our improi einents have been in the
way of simplicity, of lessened trouble
and lessened cost of upkeep. We
have built for the careful, economical
buyers, most of whom run their own
ears.
For two. years our engineers gave
their whole attention to creating an
almost trouble-proof car. In doing
this they designed an engine which
has proved itself a masterpiece of
mechanism.
The year just pa.t was devoted
mainly to improving the Overland
style. The impressive lines of the
new-model Overlands, the splendid
finish, the myriad little touches, siiow
the result of these efforts.
All thes perfections have aided suc
cess. Hut they are trilles compared
with what has been done through efficiency.
The Extreme of Care
The main Overland factory was
once the plant of the I'ope-Toledo
a famous high-priced car. So li mi
ll reds of our men, when they Started
on Overlands, had been trained for
years in high-class engineering.
The inspectors here were men Of
advanced ideals. They knew mate
rials and demanded the best of them.
They had never been stinted on
price.
Thus we were equipped from the
start witli a wealth of the best talent
ever employed in making automo
biles. We started a system of super-in-
spoetion the same as we employ to
day. The various parts of each Ov
erland car pass more than one thou
sand Inspections. Each is subjected
to severer tests than it ever will get
in I'so.
ICaeli Overland engine is run for 48
hours bt fore it goes into the car.
Kuril crankshaft is turned six thous
and times in its bearings.
Kneli finished chassis is given two
severe road tests. Any factory error
is thus found and corrected before the
car leaves our hands.
The result is that Overland owners
have all received perfect ears. They
have needed no breaking in. Wiak
nesses did not develop. Every buyer
became an Overland enthusiast. And
those owners have sold our cars.
Cutting Down Cost
The next step was to equip our
plauts so Ihatfevery part could be
built in our factories, better and
cheaper than anywhere else.
We installed hundreds of automatic
machines, each of which cut the cost
of some part.
Each gave us exactness to the
thousandth part of an inch. And
each made the part interchangeable.
We employed inventors, systemat
ized and expert machinists. Anil we
gave them carte blanche on any ex
pense which would serve to cut down
some cost. The investment to date in
this modern equipment amounts to
$3,000,000.
Overhead expense was gradually
cut by enormous production. This
item which costs more than the la
bor on most motor cars is but a
trifle per car on the Overland.
Tho cost of Overlands, in tho past
two years, lias been cut 2S per cent.
That means an average of $:!00 per
car. And every ctnt of that saving
has gone to Overland buyers.
That is a real reduction. It is not
like cut prices on old-model cars.. It
is not like the bargain sales of motor
cars that failed. It is the simple re
sult of efficiency carried to far ex
tremes. '
Overland costs are now at the bot
tom. The costs of making and selling
have been reduced to the minimum.
The margin or pro lit. is as small as
it ever can be. Neither we nor our
rivals can ever hope to sell an equal
car for less.
There can bo no further reductions.
The buyer of a 1911 Overland will
never find a car made as good as it
can be a cr uof equal size and power
sold for any less.
In these model plants, with their
enormous production, efficiency bus
done all that it can do.
The time is past when mere assem
blers of cars can compete with real
motor car makers. One cannot pay
profits to a hundred parts makers and
compete with a factory which makes
its own parts.
One cannot trust others with his
reputation. He must watch every
process, inspect every material. Tho
man who pretends to make the car
must suffer for all mistakes.
The wise molor car buyers will in
sist on u car that is made in the shop
that's behind it.
Fore-Door Bodies
The cars of the future will have
fore doors. Iloth in Europe and
America, in the finest makes, fore
door models are practically universal.
Before many months,' open-front
models will be as unsalable as the
old-time rear-door tonneaus. Most
open-front cars arc simply left over
models. And they are, or should be,
sold at heavy reductions.
In buying a touring car for years
to come, insist, on a fore-door model.
Get a style which ia coming in, not a
style going out. No reduction in price
can compensate for a car that is out
of date.
See that tho maker doesn't add the
fore-doors to a left-over open-front Note the differences in design. Note,
body. The res"lt is a botch.
The finest fore-door models like
the Overland have the flush bodies,
giving six inches more room in each
seat. They have the straight lines
which give impressive appearance.
Note bow every curve and line iu the
Overland picture shows the car's up-to-dateness.
We still make open fronts for those
who desire them. Hut the Overland
lino for 1911 is a fore-door line. And
the .fore-door models cost no extra
price. Don't pay anyone extra for
them.
Other Comparisons
In comparing cars, compare the
power, the cylinder sizes, the wheel
base and the size of wheels. Com
pare each item in the specifications to
see where the differences lie. You
can easily find out which car gives
most for the money.
Compare the equipment. See that
the maker includes the necessities
such as magneto,' headlights and suf
ficient tire size iir his advertised
price.
Compare tho appearance, 'for your
satisfaction , depends largely on that.
Note what a difference hand-buffed
leather makes. Note the wide differ
ences in painting and varnishing.
for instance, how the doors curve in
tho Overland model pictured here, to
continue the curve of the front. Note
that the door handles are on the in
side. All these little perfections in
dicate infinite care.
Compare, if you can, what owners
say. There arc Overland owners ev
erywheie. They will tell you what
they got. and what you can expect.
Give no car credit for anything
mystical. You can see what a car
gives if you look at the facts.' Mystical
advantages arc very expensive. They
have doubled the proper price some
times. '
Make these comparisons in justice
to yourself and to Overlands. If (ho
Overland gives more than any. other
car for the money, we want the credit
and you want tho saving. Be fair
enough to lind it out.
22 Overland Models
There are 22 Overland models for
1911, so that every motor cur buyer
can exactly meet bis ideas on size
and style, on power and price.
Tho power runs from 20 to 40 horse
power the wheel bases from 96 to
118 inches the ' prices from $775 to
$1,673. The body styles include all
that are wanted. All are four cyl
inder cars.

Leprosy Cure.
An apparent cure for leprosy has
been found in the Philippines, accord
ing to Secretary of War Dickinson, lie
calls this cure cbaulnioogra oil, and
hopes it will turn nut to be a real
speeilie for the disease. Dr. Victor G.
1 leper, who Is in charge of the medi
cal department of the. insular govern
ment, told him that within a genera
tion or two leprosy will have practi
cally disappeared from the islands, ow
ing to the -success of segregating the
lepers. I inly a few have not been
transported lo the island of Culion. The
natives have become so educated to
the danger of contamination that only
little opposition is now made to the
removal of the afflicted. While inde
pendence Is n great thing for those who
know bow In make use of it, we are
prepared to say that If leprosy shall
within the next fifty years be ban
ished from the Philippines the boon will
more thnn offset whatever lost Imag
inary blessings the most sanguine and
optimistic anti-imperialist could imag
ine flowing from the exercise of com
plete independence; for It Is not con
ceivable that the Filipinos themselves,
with their Ignorance of sanitation and
prophylaxis, would drive out that most
awful disease If left to their own devices.

Meyer. lie has decided that the en
tire matter should receive a most thor
ough investigation, with a view to de

to be defective, and the court has been

method remedying the defect.
