cording to Jay Downer, engineer
for the Itronx river parkway com
mission, show the need for more
highways,, and for the elimination

"If you eliminate grade cross

lite.ly double the capacity of your

"Another way In which the ca
pacity of highways can be dou
bled Is by separating trucks nnd
passenger Vehicles. We should
be building separate highways for
trucks and passehger cars. Take
the , trucks off the passenger
routes and you double their ca
pacity. At the same time you
facilitate, the movement of trucks."

T N ,TR made die trip in such a short
1- time before ami the roads have
improved a hundred percent" this
is the statement of an owner of an
Overland Six, who drove it to his fa
vorite fishing spot for the first time.
The difference in the trip was not in
the roads it was in the car he drove
the same difference that is making
the Overland Six the great populai
favorite wherever motor cars are be
ing driven.
And the difference comes from mod
ern engineering first applied to motor
cars of tin's size and type by Willys
Overland.Thc power of the motor is
a revelation quicker to accelerate
than any other power plant in its class
faster over the road and out-pulling
any other on hills.
Swung low in the chassis it delivers
its full power in ft straight line to the
rear axle- valve construction- crank
shaft balance enrburction lubrication-all
modern and incorporat
ing the best developments of Aiucri
1 ca and Europe, -
The better roads come from the bal
anced body construction the long
springs - the even distribution ot
weight -the elimination ofsidesway
and bumpiness over rough going.
Try this famous Overland Six its
superior value is shown in whut it
will do for you the minute you step
on the accelerator.
