Spring business is opening up
most promisingly and the outlook
is for rapid ly increasing activity,
I'.ci ording to sales reports of the
J 'ord Motor company . just given
out here.
In t he sale of I'ord cars und
trucks these show that daily do
mestic retail deliveries have more
than doubled since early in Janu
ary. The largest increase came;
dm ing the latter par t of J'Vhru- j
ary. reflecting the upward trend '
of business which Is now under1
way and the optimistic outlook
for March.
Another interesting feature is
shown in the sales of Ko I'd son
tractors which have made a rapid
gain, parlictilarly through the ng-
ic ilt urn! sections, indicating that
t he runner Is coming in strong r
l buying factor. I aily sales
of l-'ordsons are at the present
lime four times as great as they
early in the year.

The entire week of April 12-18 will be set
aside to give everybody a free demonstra
tion ride in the most remarkable motor
car of the year. Not since the long ago
days when automobiles were curiosities
has the public rushed to sec a car as they
are rushing to see this fine new Overland

bile history we doubt very much whether
any car nas ever occn welcomed witn so
much and such genuine enthusiasm.
Everybody Instantly admires this great
car's refreshing beauty. The entire coun
try is buzzing with talk about its sensa
tional power. On hills the new Overland
Six is a wonder and likewise in traffic it
shows the cars all around it a clean pair of
heels. Advanced engineering makes it
nn easy leader in pick-up and getaway.
