O. B. Salem X'' ImI - mls?r Increased Production and Standardized Manu facturing Permit Remarkable Low Prices THE prices of Maxwell Cars are again reduced $685 for the tour ing car and $670 for the roadster effective July 1, 1916. Only the price is changed not the car. Greatly increased production reduces our manufacturing cost per car. Sjandardized manufacturing only one Maxwell chassis makes possible further production ecenomy. By reducing the price we also reduce the selling expense. Thus the Maxwell owner gets the most actual intrinsic value for his expenditure. Bear in mind that the Maxwell is the World's Champion Endurance Car. Its genuine through-and-through merit has been established be yond question or doubt. The Maxwell has lowered many records for gasoline and oil con sumption. It is everywhere recog-nized as one of the most economical cars to maintain. These facts, considered along with the remarkably low price now quoted, make the Maxwell the one big automobile value of all time. WHAT THE MAXWELL .

Take Over Leavitt Agency Arrangements have been completed for the purchase of the entire holdings of J. V. Leavitt & Company, distrib utors of Overton automobiles and owners of a chain of branches on the Pacific, Coast, by the Willy-OverTand, Tnc, of Toledo. The Willys-Overland, Inc., will in the future operate its own branches on the Pacific Coast, giving service to Overland owners direct from factory to owner. The operating Company in California will be known as the YVil-l8-Overland of California and in the Northwest the operating company will be known as (he Overland Pacific. Inc. The price paid by the Willy-Overland, Inc., for the holdings of J. W. Leavitt & Company was in the neigh borhood of one million dollars, (ien ernl officers of the Willys-Overland Tnc, including Mr. Rval li. Scott, secretary and chief counsel, Mr. .1. II. McDuffee, assistant sales manager, and Mr. W. E. Tigges, comptroller, are now on the const arranging details of the transfer which will take place on .Inly 1st. The Leavitt Company has been in business on the l'acific Coast nearly a quarter of a century. Since they se cured the distribution of Overland automobiles, their growth has been phenomenal. In 100!) they hnd only one small store located in San Fran cisco. Three times in the last seven years they have been compelled to en large their quarters in San Francisco, and have opened nine Pacific Const i Branches, including Spokane, Seattle, tortland, Sacramento, Oakland. Fres no, Los Angeles, l'asadena and San Diego. Last year Pacific Coast purchasers bought over nine thousand Overland cars running the aggregate business of the Leavitt Company up to the seven million dollar mark, and making them the largest distributors of automobiles in the world. The Overland Company is making ex tensive preparations to enlarge and improve its service to the twenty-five thousand owners of Overland and Wil lys Knight cars on the Pacific Coast. Seven new buildings completely equip ped with the most improved devices for rendering service to Overland owners are in process of construction. These new service buildings will be located at Seattle, Sacramento, Sun Francisco, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Hollywood and Spokane. The street locations of these branch es in the different cities mentioned were selected with the view to the convenience of owners of Overland cars, rather than on account of a low cost of real estate. As a matter of fact, no expense is being spared by the Overland Company either in the cost of the land or in the construction of the service buildings. The principal purpose of the Over land, Company in buying out the Lea vitt Company ifi to extend the long arm of Overland Service direct from fac tory to owner. In taking over the Leavitt Company the Overland C pany will retain practically the entire Leavitt organ ization. A. T). Plughoff, formerly vice president, and general manager of the Leavitt Company, and consid ered one of. the three or four best posted men in the automobile indus try, will be managing director of both the Willys-Overland of California and the Overland Pacific Inc.
