M. Hathaway, of the I'a cil'ic Aulo company, the local dealer. Mr, Hathaway took the machine out of the race for the owner and put it on display at his show rooms. The car looked like a wreck Friday niirhl as it hiid on its side on the steep frill race bunk. However, when the ma-f-hiire wits put back on the street and a little mud scraped off it waa found to be prncticuliy uudumav'cd. The steering rod was hent and the windows and windshield broken but there wn hardly a scratch on hf body. The floors worked as well n before the accident and no one could find anything seriously wrong. The slrenglh of tho ull-steel ea wan floimui Fi rated. "Hodee Ttrothers built their business sedan with an idea of giving the world a car common sense buyers would view as no investment, says Mr. Hathaway. With this new all-steel car they have made a praclici:! thing of an ncknnwlcig ed luxury. They have placed the comfort, rrolcction and dignity of the sedan within the range of practical usage. Dodire ltrothera realized that a steel lodv for such a closed car was one of the first e-wentiala. both from the stand t oint of economy and utility. Once man ufacturing obstacles were overcome, the Meel bony closed car could be put info mianf ity production, bringing down the cost to the plane of the average family and at the same time increasing the car's scope of operation. Steel would withstand the hardest everyday usage. It would lend Itself much more ideally 1 the salesman's or to the farmer's requirements, for ex ample, than the delicately finished de luxe Sedan. Instead of many coat a of varnish applied slowly and painstakingly by hand. it. would lake a lustrous baked on enamel just as tbia same enduring ' fiuifh is applied by u highly perfected j mechanical process to Hodge Jirolhers open cars," The "snappy" little Overland Four is meeting its biggest reception in Kugenc this vcar in historv. declare West & Sons the local dealers. J.'specially is the dosed car demanding a great deal of at tention in Fugcuc. Weut her condition! hern are making the closed car the all-' ar-around machine and the Uveriaud is filling the bill. The new model 01 being shown this season has many new and Htiiktng fea tures. It has a higher radiator and cowl than last year's models, is heavier con structed and stronger throughout. Tho hues ui e also longer than heretofore, I giving it the snappy appearance. The re- ; liable triplex springs are til ill a feature I of the car. J A baked enamel finished body, drum ! t)w headlights, adjustable windshield ; and sun visor, all add to the apprurance , and superior service offered by the Overland. The closed car is finished in; velour and the workmanship and material t n : en re as good as the hight-priced makes. '. A new Willys-Knight coupe-sedan inoii- i el, five-passenger car, the first to make Ha appearance here will he displayed at the auto show by West and Sons, local agents. A beautiful blue finished nillys' K mailt toiiriuif car is also ready for those admirers of (he well-known cars who will be at the aulo show. The Overland, like the other popular priced cur factories is working to capac ity this spring. Orders having been com ing in so fast that the Overland factories will have to increase its output 115 cars a day to take care of orders now hook ed, the local agents have been notified. For not more than 10f extrn in Ihe Hudson line one can buy a closed car, auil have all closed car com fort h. That's how popular the closed models are, and how some manufacturers arc meeting the de mnnd. The Hudson coach ia nn entirely new closed body design.
