The Overland Big Four continues
the famous 35 horsepower Over-'
land which made this institution
the second largest, automobile
concern in the world in eight
years.
It is the same comfortable, roomy,
powerful, rugged car that for
years has outsold all cars which
now sell for more than $400.
Its brand hew body design makes
it more attractive than ever.
The wheelbase is 112 inches and it
has long 48 inch cantilever rear
springs.
We believe it is the most com
fortable, the easiest riding car
to be had for the price $850.
It is as clearly as ever the excess
value car of its class.
D wight
Opposite Marion Hotel
And the Overland Light Six is
likewise the excess value car of
its kind.
Most of the body and chassis parts
of the Light Six are the same as
those of the Big Four.
So the Six shares directly in the
economies of the combined pro
duction of fours and sixes.
These cars exemplify with great
clearness the excess values made
possible through the economies
effected by our huge production
of the most comprehensive line
of cars ever built by any one
producer.
Ask us to show you the Big Four
and the Light Six.

Overland Company's Net
Profits Are $11,335,000
With net profits of $11,335,000 for
the 12 months ended last December
the Willys-Overland company, just
about fulfilled the expectations of
those who realized the effect which
freight embargoes in the final months
must have had upon shipments and
profits. In the first six months the
big Toledo company earned slightly
over $7,000,000 or in other words
nearly two thirds of the full net up to
June 30. Considering the fact that
only half as many cars could be ship
ped in the lest six months as in the
first the showing is doubly satisfac
tory. Including the $1,31 8,(105 balance of
profits properly- accruing to share
holders by reason of shipments made
to tho company's own distributing
branches but which, hereafter, are not
to be credited until sold, the balance
for the $37,000,000 common stock fig
ures out at $(.t3 a share as compared
with $4(570 upon the $21,00,000 com
mon of $100 per value in 1915. Strict
ly speaking, the comparison is in
equitable as the $15,000,000 additional
common wns nut-standing less than
three months. On the average amount
of common stock out the Willys-Overland
company earned close to $10 a
share. .
The phenomenal expansion of the
Willys-Overland company in the past
year is evidenced in plant, working
capital and capital stock accounts. The
Willys-Overland company realized
about $34,000,000 during the year
from the sale of new preferred stock
and tho block of $15,000,000 common
and retained about $7,000,000 from
eurnings all used for development of
a 200,000 car output. A good part of
this big fund was diverted to addi
tional plant construction and a num
ber of splendid distributing and ser
vice station throughout the eouutry
all told, counting for nearly $12,000,
000. A jump in net quick assets of rough
ly $27,000,000 accounted for practi
cally tho rest, inventory alone sopping
up $22,000,000.
With a working capital of over $38,
000,000, the Willys-Overland company
now has better than $1 of net quick for
every $4.50 of sales.
