' IfouriiitfCaiF rrt The selling price of any automobile varies according VJ to the size of the factory that makes it. 3 It costs the . plant making one thousand care a year (of a given type) considerable more ar for car than "it does the plant making five thousand, and the plant making but five thousand cars annually has greater production costs car for car than the plant making ten thousand.; Consequent ly the plant producing twenty thousand cars (which is the largest production of its kind in the world) can make and sell its output for far less money than any other plant in the world: In other words, the man who .buys an Over jand gets more car for less money than hecbuld from any manufacturer In the business. 'TIT 7110 explanation of aliihjsJipqeftprmo'us mechart VlJ ical equipment. A plant smaller than ours could not J afford our facilities. It would be Impracticali The smaller maker is compelled to buy certain parts for his au 'tomobile from outside. -.The part 'maker, being a sort of middleman, must naturally have a profit for which you are, forced to pay. Take such equipment as our drills. When we drill a crank case thirty-seven drilling operations are made at the same time. The smaller manufacturer drills one hole at a time; in other words it takes him thirty-six times as long to drill a crank case as It does us and as time means money the consumer must pay the difference. And so on through the entire car. Right now there are cars on the market selling for 1250, that are no better, no larger, and as a matter oLfact not as well made as this $900 automobile. Judge the car you buy frdm the efficiency of the plant that makes it and you will be keeping money in your pocket TTT The Overland plants are the greatest of their kind In SjJJ the world. We employ more men use more labo - .laving automatic machinery amj buy our raw materia all iri greater quantities, than any other single manufacturer. Our output is 20.1)00 cars a year.
