Automobile dealers and pros
pective buyers everywhere concede
that one of the most important
features in the minds of motor
car purchasers is economy of op
eration and maintenance of their
automobile.
It was with this feature in mind
that engineers of Willy-Overland
designed and built the new Over
land standard sedan, a car of
lighter weight and greater room,
backed "by hundreds of fine re
cords1 in gasoline consumption.
and withal a car built specifically
to provide the maximum of com
fort and ease of operation with
the minimum of upkeep, officials
declare. The new addition to the
Overland line is a roomy, five
passenger sedan combining these
features together with long and
narrow windows and one-piere
windshield that provide greater
vision and ventilation.
The new -.Overland - standard
Eedrvt is powered Ty the f our
cylinder . engine developing . 27

improved Bore and Beck clutch
A bJavy duty crank shaft, selective
type transmission and special car
bon gears make for rigidity and
long service. The same motor
that made a grand average? of
27.28 miles per gallon in the Over

powers this new sedan. .

about "hard times" must admit
that persons without employment

i FOUR WHEEL BRAKES
The subject -of the endden ad
'fva'nce'iu tire prlcos is a very im
! pcrtant' one, right now, and many
motor ht are wondering as to the
treason for , this sudden increase. in
' price. George Pepperdlne, presi
i deht;of the Western uto Supply
r company declares that crude rub-
5 & . ' , " -
ber has jumped from twenty-two
I cents a pound . to " seventy-nine
l cents and from, all . Indications it
i win reach the dollar mark and
possible' higher within the next six
months. ..
- The rise has been due to the
'deficiency in the supply resulting
from Increased consumption In the
; United States and the restricted
production In the , British East
I Indies.; - ' ' ': - ' '; i'-'
' j ViTbei United States today uses
;a;lyut 80' per cent of all rubber
eonsumcd and Great Britain con
- trols ; over 70 per V cent of -the
orfd's rubber outnut. The in
crease j in ; consumption over "last
. year was due chiefly to the larger
: output of pneumatic tires. About
0 per cent of the rubber used in
I manufacturing Is consumed, in the
tire industry.
The deficiency in the rubber
;;is not due. to r real shortage, but
an artificial one. When crude
' rubber was selling at a low figure
, j the plantation owners were opera-
r ting at a loss. The tire and tube
business slackened its pace, which
: in turn, reduced the demand for
crude rubber., with the result that
a large amount of rubber existed
, 1 nts condition lasted, for a few
, years I until the TSritlsh growers
( put throueh a protecting law, call
ed the Stephenson Restriction act.
This act provided that the quan-
Tity of rubber produced should be
based entirely upon the nrico and
.output of the former quarter. This
i' cut rubber production down about
j 50 per cent In capacity and each
; quarter's production may add or
deduct 5. or 10 per ent. according
to thr wiling prie of the previous
quarter.- -A
