painted, trimmed, and shiny on the outside, li Ice many
other cars. And yet this one is a tramp automobile
a car without a home. Don't you buy that kind!
BECAUSE IT IS SOLD TO YOU WITHOUT
SERVICE, that valuable adjunct without which any
car may become an expensive bargain to its owner.
''HOW IS THE DEALER GOING TO TAKE
CARE OP ME?" That 's one of the questions you
should ask yourself. "How well or how poorly is he
equipped to give me proper service?".
OVERLAND DEALERS CARRY A STOCK
OF PARTS and replacements depending "on the
number of Overland cars running in the particular
dealer's territory. That's a part of the dealer's con
tract with the Willis-Overland Company on which
the company lays great stress. '
- PARTS ORDERS COME FIRST, ALL OTH
ER BUSINESS NEXT. That is the rule of the big
Overland plants in Toledo, which stands behind the
dealer every time. Such is the SERVICE you buy
in addition to the big unrivalled value-you get in the
great Overland itself. .
STEP. IN AND SEE FOR YOURSELF, one of
these days, how well the Overland owner is taken
care of. No particular credit is claimed for this con
dition, because it is a business maxim as old as busi
ness itself, that the satisfied customer is the mer
chant's best advertisement. It's just ordinary mer
cantile sagacity. But you ought to look into-it for
your own benefit.

against the , Japanese, and their gov
ernment is making protests against
it to- our State Department. Right at
the outset in their career President
Wilson, and Secretary Bryan are con
fronted with as delicate a question
as has come before any administra
tion in recent times. Mr. Bryan's
promise to give close study to the
way which President Roosevelt han
dled the California-Japanese school
issue a few years ago shows that he
realizes the gravity of the situation.
Although the number of Japanese
in California is much fewer than
that of the Chinese, and both are di
minishing there, the prejudice against
the Japanese is much greater than
it is against their fellow-Orientals.
In proiJortion to their numbers the
Japanese have engaged extensively
in landholding.
The Japanese are a sensitive peo
ple. When, by the adoption of a con
stitution in 1889, they joined - the
ranks of the Western nations,. . they
believed that they ' deserved some
consideration which was denied to
their plodding, reactionary neighbors
of China. Their victory over China
in the war of 1894-95 gave them a
prestige which extended all over the
world, and which led to a study of
their institutions by Europeans and ,
Americans. Their triumph over the
Russians in 1904-05 placed them !
abreast of the most modern of the .
world's states, or appeared to.
