But not all sixes are superior to all fours. . We build both sixes and fours. We build" fours that have greater flexibility than many sixes. Our only purpose, therefore, in building a six is to satisfy with Overland finality those dis criminating buyers who demand well nigh miraculous performance in an automobile. So the Overland Six is equipped with a motor 60 flexible that it almost lets you forget that you have a gear shift. Except for the start from an absolute stand still, you will drive the Overland Six under even the se-erest traffic and hill conditions with 6eIdom a need to shift a gear. And rot only is the Overland Six motor a 'marvel of flexibility. It has great reserve power. Its range of speed on direct drive or "high" is therefore coupled with reserve power whicli enables you to accelerate with lightning rapidity from the slowest to the highest speeds. And our enormous output enables us to offer the Overland Six equipped with our vastly superior six motorat a price hundreds of dollars less than you must pay for equal performance in any other car. We are the world's largest builders of sixes and fours, producing virtually two cars for every one of any other concern building similar types and sizes of cars. Obviously, the Overland Six is underpriced -is dominant Six value comparable only with very much higher priced cars. The rush of spring buying naturally centers upon such excess value, taxing even our unequalled production capacity. See us at once and order your Six nowl J. W.

SUBSTITUTE IS PROBLEM In mileage per gallon Is offset by the greater uses we have for motorcars and the increased tost of the fuel Itself. "One reason after another has been offered for tbia advance in price, tbe oil companies finally getting down to the statement that it Is now a matter of supplying the demand, and pointing to the fact that five years ago we used approximately 2.600.000 gallons of gaso line per year In motorcars, while dur ing the last year the consumption was not far short of 1.000.000.000 gallons. "What Is the solution of the problem? "If there continues to be a shortage In gasoline and the price Increases, we must look for some new fuel. Its ar rival Is certain, because there never baa been a crying demand for anything without an answer from engineers and inventors. Such new fuel may come from crude oil. but more than likely it will he a chemical. Hail to the man who will deliver us from the need of ' gasoline in motorcars.
