Winning 4 out of 6 cups offered in entire event, and smashing all previous
records
Overland touring car wing in all three events. F irst in Class One, W inner of Baker Cup for economy in
all fuels—oil, gas and water combined. Winner of Grand Sweepstakes for both ton and actual gas
mileage.
Overland Sedan wins first in Class Two. A Willys Knight touring ear finished in Class Tw’o, being beaten
by our own entry.
It is significant that Overlands not only won first in every class and contest entered, but that the three
Willys-Overland entries finished One, Two, Three in the Baker Economy Cup event, leading the entire
field of 17 entries for all honors.
lu the Grand Sweepstakes the two Overland entries finished first and second, again leading the field.
These astounding records were set up by the lowest-priced ear in the contest. Facts like these confirm every
claim that Overland is America’s most durable and economical, sensibly priced car.

The Other Fellow’s
Opinion
One cannot live unto oneself
alone.
Ottr lives must touch anil in
fluence the lives of others.
The opinion formed by fel-
lowmen through such contact
can measurably aid or retard
progress.
To carry a ( heeking Account
in a responsible hank like this,
is to command and engender
confidence, because of the busi
ness acumen and discretion thus
reflected.
