now set for May 31, and tho Invitations
for the commencement arc being prepared.
LYNCH IN THE LEAD
Time was when the automobile busi
ness, the youngest of the .treat Indus
tries, was subject to constant and ex
traordinary changes. It Is Mr. "Benson
and men like him who have made Im
possible these sudden changes and
founded tho business along lines bene
ficial alike to manufacturer, dealer, ah'd
customer, for tho manufacturer's mar
ket Is steady and assured; tho dealer
Is certain of a good car at a well
known price, and the customer always
gets his money's worth and proper caro
nnd service after his car Ik purchased.
In removing to tho Btudebaker Cor
poration Mr. Benson states that ho finds
an atmosphere particularly congenial to
the business. Ideals for which he stands
and on account of tho enormous re
sources of the Studebakcr Interests pos
sibilities for furthering, his ideas.

What Proves the
Value of a Car?
. ( i"
i
T is actually amazing and almost
insulting to see the large number or
automobiles on the American mar
ket which strive to get your atten
tion and prove their worth by con
stantly featuring some one, more
or less, unimportant feature, such
as a rim or a starter. These things are
absolutely trivial. When you buy a suit
of clothes do you buy it because of some
new fangled pockets or buttons? No.
You purchase fundamentals material,
fit, cut, style and tailoring.
The value of an automobile is arrived
at on the same basis. Rims and guards,
color schemes, etc., should be consid
ered last.
Fundamentals establish values. With
automobiles it's the speed, power, capac
ity, construction, service, comfort and
appearance you should look to. While
the Overland is the most modernly equip
ped and finely appointed car made, it is
these basic fundamentals which we have
always pointed to as exceptional value.
A case in point is our Model 60 priced
at $1200. The important things about this
car the things that really count are
fundamentals that cannot be purchased
elsewhere for less than $1500. It has a
big powerful thirty-five horsepower rnotor
which can easily take you fifty miles an
hour if you so desire. It
seats five large people
with comfort. The chas
sis is big and strong;
made of the best materials
the world produces. It is
practically indestructible.
Ail of our special steels
are rigidly inspected and
thoroughly tested in our
own laboratories. The
axles are drop forged in
our own plants. The
frame is of pressed
steel and has a single
drop. The rear system
is unusually rugged.
The finely cut and ac
curate gears are made
of Vanadium steel. The
transmission is of the se
lective type, three speeds

Overland Center 'Control
The center of the car U the only practical
location for both operating levers. Easy to
operate, always in, reach, and you have free
use of both fore doors.
Any other style Is obsolete and out of date.
Insist on the modern Overland center control.
A demonstration will prove its superiority.
and reverse, fitted with the best bearings?
The upholstery is of good leather, hand
stuffed with fine hair. The finish of the
car is beautiful, rich and handsome, be
ing in dark Overland blue, and battleship
grey wheels.
This description will fit any $1500 car
on the market. Compare and be con
vinced. So far as the other features go, you
cannot find a car that is more complete
nor more up-to-date than the Overland
It is a combination of everything that
has proven practical in the motor car
world. One small but important feature
is the famous Overland center control.
We adopted this several years ago. In
fact, we practically started center control
in this country. By degrees the others
fell in line. They had to. One well
known $5000 car has adopted center con
trol for 1913 something we did three
years ago. And until we find something
better we will continue center control
simply because it is the most practical
location for both operating levers and it
gives you full use of both fore doors.
But don't make the serious and costly
mistake of buying a car on the strength
of a' single feature or two. Stick to
power, speed, comfort, service, appear
ance and life and you'll get the most for
your money. Other mak
ers being higher in price
incorporate in their cars
one or two of these fea
tureless features, and this
is their sole excuse to get
a much higher price for a
car that is fundamentally
no better, and in the ma
jority of cases not as good
as the Overland. That is
why you find so many
$1500 cars that are point
for point the same as our
$1200 car.
Our $1200 (Model 60)
car gives you every iden
tical practical thing found
in any $1500 car made.
Investigate and see. Our
dealer is at your service.
