Overland - $2,000.

150,000 Last Year!

-the enormous annual output of Overload motor cars!

it is made on a scale of production which permits a value unapproached!

For instance, note the "85-Four" showt here.. A car of great power," but so simple to operate that a child- can drive it. Sturdy, dependable, so satisfactory that it has won the enthu- siası everyone who ever owned one.'
