Speed! Mighty Is Speedl It has
been the requisite of man since the day
of creation. In one respect, at least,
we are all pagans. In this, the twen
tieth of the Christian centuries, we
worship a god at whose shrine the Ro
mans built eternal fires 4000 and more
years ago. That god Is Mercury, Speed
divinity.
It has been measured by the sands of
the hour glass, the hands of the sun
dial, the clock and the watch, the
needle of the most delicate chronom
eter. Countless generations have
or nations. It carried Xenophon and
the remnants of his army out of the
Persians' Maw,
In the person of Paul Revere and his
nameless horse, it called the patriots
of the American colonies to arms on
the night of the 15th of April. 1775

eliminating trials just as. was dona at
Indianapolis. The cars that will be
shut out will be eligible for a special
race that will be run a day or so before
the long grind.
The cars that have been entered so
far are a representative lot. The Stutz
company has nominated two, one to be
driven by Oldfield and the other by
regard, and find themselves better off

as a result. But the majority of driv

the axle. And time after time he
would run up to the garage man, who
promptly put In four hours time at
75 cents per 60 minutes for cleaning
the gummed parts with gasoline. Then
happy, the motorist would amble out
to return again with slipping brakes.
The garage , man kept his counsel.
He should worry, he -argued, because
the other fellow did not know his oil
was too light. He : would have lost
money to have said anything about It.
But finally a kind friend did Im
part information. Then the mo
tor man rushed oft to the other ex
treme. He purchased the hardest
grease on the market. It stood up
like a brick wall it was so -thick.
"Here Is where I fool "em," he chor
tled. "This stuff won't fall out of an
up-ended barrel."
And it did not. Neither did it lu
bricate the axle. Instead the steel
ploughed through It and the set was
ruined. Result, the owner bought new
gears price $55.
Experience Zs Costly.
Today, however, he is wise. The
last experience got him Interested. Ex
perience had kicked a hole in bis purse
and he smarted from It- So he went
to a reliable supply store and learned
many things and like the bed-time
story he lived happy ever afterward.
As a motor ages It needs heavier
oil, which' takes up lost motion, due
to wear. The average man. however,
pays no attention to this. He goes
along using various grades and many
times purchases cheap stuff, believing
that he is saving money thereby. But

Many autolsts do not understand this

the tires are generally one-half inch

assured of a trip Aver a route oasy to

According to reports just received
from the secretary of state at Sacra

102,545 automobiles registered. The
motorcycles number 21,060 and there
are 14,380 .chauffeurs In the state.
This puts' California second In the
United States In the number of auto

On June 1 the records at the secretary

the way they are registering during
June it is estimated that the 14,000
mark will be passed before July L
The best advice for the first time
owner of a motor car is to strain his
gasoline. It takes a little more time
to strain It but sometimes It will save
trouble caused by dirt or water In the
carburetor or gasoline line.

The Strict Maintenance of this Price
Guarantee of Security
THIS list price is established
and maintained all over the
country It makes no dif
ference whether you purchase
your Overland in New York or
New Mexico this firic never
varies.
Recently, ten friends decid
ed to each get an Overland.
They went to an Overland dealer
in a body said they; would take
ten cars on the spot if he would
give them 5 off. He refused.
They argued that his neighbor
ing competitor had already offer
ed them 10 off on the car he
represented. The Overland
dealer then replied that if they
would wait a few days longer the '
man next door would probably
give them 20 off! They did
wait a few days then bought ten
Overland at the full list price. ;
Now these men bought the
Overlands, n of because they knew
so much more about the car. but
because they had complete con
fidence in the '.Overland dealer
who had the one fixed price and
absolutely no confidence in the
compering dealer who had a
varietv of prices.
It does not take any great
amount of intelligence to see
through thea weaknesses, draw
backs and insecurity of a cut
price car proposition. Either the
car, or the factory behind it, or
the dealer, or all three cannot be
relied upon.
Remember that in purchas
ing an Overland you get a great
deal more than just the best car
f orthe least money;you get service
that c is dependable, permanent
and international.
That the public has firm faith
in the Overland is amply evi
denced by the following record
breaking figures :
Up to date we have deliv
ered over $42,000,000.00 worth
of nineteen fourteen Overlands.
Right now the public is invest
ing over $250,000.00 a day in
Overlands.
If we did not out-class (both
in car value and service) those
who are continually cutting their
price how could we continue to
get the greatest volume of busi
ness? The Overland is a larger car;
a more powerful car; a more com
fortable car; a more complete car
and a more thoroughly made car
than any other for the price.
And it costs you 30 lest
than any other similar car.
