Select the Maker— the Car Then The Overlands for 1911 come in 22 models— from 20 to 35-horse power—from $775 to $1,675. There is no question whatever about pleasing you if this is the make you want. The point to decide is the maker, and these are the facts to consider. The Dominant Car The Overland has quickly become the most successful car ever created. There are 20,000 delighted owners, and the car not yet three years old. Dealers have already paid their deposits on more than 18,000 of the new-season models. In our five factories, over $3,000,000 has been invested in the highest type of modern equip- ment. This exact, automatic, labor-saving ma- chinery has cut the cost of Overlands 28% in the past two years—an average of $300 per car. With our enormous production it has placed the Overland where no other car can compete with it. All this prestige, this demand, this invest- ment is at stake on making Overlands perfect —as good as cars can be. And you may be utterly sure that we do it. Not an Overland chassis could be made any better if we asked you double the price. The Choice of 22 Models The 1911 Overlands come in 22 up-to-date designs.
