A Great Development

The great Willys-Overland factories-a veritable industry in themselves--have played a leading part in the development of the motor car business..

Although it has existed only nine years, the Willys-Overland institution is now second in the world in point of motor car production. The greatest and latest Willys Overland development now offers to the world a com→ prehensive range of models built by one or ganization...

This is the most advanced step in the in- dustry. It means greater economies; better motor cars at relatively lower pricesi

This applies particularly to the Overland Big Four-cylinder touring car, finished in a rich brown, and to the Light Four touring car, finished in a beautiful gray.

Ride in one of these motor cars today. We will gladly arrange for a demonstration.
