Motor Cars
A Logical Purchase
A better motor car for less money. Willys-Overland success means just that to you. For years the Overland product has outsold, all motor cars in its class.
י
This year, through an achievement new to the motor- car industry, the company, has applied the economics of vast production to the most comprehensive range of models ever built by any one motor car manufac
turer.
All the general expense heretofore charged to a single class of motor cars has been distributed over several groups, including not only low-priced cars but cars in the high-priced class as well.
You will find in the Willys-Overland group motor cars in high-priced class selling for a moderate price.
Or we can offer you the dominant value in lower" priced motor cars of quality that are exactly adapted to your every need or pleasure...
ti
In every class these motor cars represent such re- markable value that every consideration of pride, economy, safety and enjoyment must urge you to consider the Willys-Overland group first.
Tell us what kind and class of motor car you want. Let us help you solve your personal motor car, prob- lems as thousands of others are solving theirs- permanently.
We will gladly arrange for a practical demonstra- tion.
