PAQH 4 IlKND IIUMiKTlN, 11KND, OHKMOn TIIUIkSDAY, OCTOIIKIl 10, HMD PA j." MODEL 4 FOREWARD Overland 4 has been built to fill the demand for a light car of economy and roadability, that rides well. What The Builder Says v 1 i , 'X, r" 1 " ;i "Overland 4, I believe, fills a need for quick, economical, comfortable transportation which exists among millions of - people in all classes of life and in all countries. .-,' . After ten years of experimenting, two years of testing, and 250,000 miles of demonstration, I am confident Overland 4 will give satisfaction td owners out of all proportion to its The Overland 4 marks a fundamental advance in motor car construction the most important improvement, in comfort to the passengers and x in preserving the chassis from road shocks since pneu matic tires made motoring possible. Its three-point cantilever springs create a riding buoyancy that establishes' Overland 4 As a New Type of Car ECONOMY v k Before being submitted to the 'public, the Ovcrlajid was subjected to preliminary trials covering 250,000 miles in widely varying climate and road conditions, in high and low altitudes, in rock and sand, in mud and snow, and 'Die Overland 4 with stood every test. Light weight assures light gasoline consump tion and high tire mileage. The parts are accessible. It is easy to lubricate. Simple construction in cooling system. The moving parts are not exposed, but housed. Oil is circulated by pressure automatically created. Water is circulated by Thermo syphon or natural cooling method.

As To Quality Service Is Built Into The Car THERE ARE MANY OTHER REMARKABLE POINTS ABOUT OVERLAND 4, but i N FINALLY In short, while Overland 4 stands out conspicuous among motor cars for its riding qualities, it has all of those other features of economy, roadability, quality and bountiful equip- ment necessary to a real automobile. To the Three-romt-Cantilever bpnngs is due the major iredit, for they permit the economy of light weight with com fort to the passengers and protection to the car. The testimony of all who have ridden in Overland 4 is that, whereas even at first the riding qualities appear better than in other cars, this impression grows with use until it reaches enthusiasm. The verdict is -always the same the farther you ride, the better you like it. We have an Overland 4 on display. It is not for sale now. We want as many people who are interested in a motor. car adaptable to the conditions of Central Oregon to see it. Yo"u are welcome to come up, ask questions and to ride and learn all we know about this remarkable achievement. Pioneer Garage Company . X ,- '.." i TfPffga , ' 'iii m I .' ' ' I ". .
