U Toledo Subject to change without Tho Overland Big Four continues the famous 35 horsepower Over land which made this institution the second largest automobile concern in the world—in eight years. It is the same comfortable, roomy', powerful, rugged car that for years has outsold all cars which now sell for more than $ 100. Its brand new body design makes it more attractive than ever The wheelbase is 112 inches and it has long 48 inch cantilever rear springs. We believe it is the most com fortable, the easiest riding car to be had for the price—$850. It is as clearly as ever the excess value car of its class And the Overland Light Six is likewise the excess value car of its kind. Most of the body and chassis parts of the Light Six are the same as those of the Big Four. So the Six shares directly in the economies of the combined pro duction of fours and sixes. These cars exemplify with great clearness the excess values made possible through the economies effected by our huge production of the most comprehensive line of cars ever built by any one producer. Ask us to show you the Big Four and the Light Six.
