proofJvalue Overwhelming and Unanswerable
People were a bit skeptical when Overland announced its truly light and economical car with Triplex Springs—and rightly so, for the ear was then new and radical in many ways. But the makers of Overland knew its metal—its stamina—its almost silken riding qualities—its unmatched econoihy. 250,000 miles of travel in wild country, before a single car was shipped to dealers, was the kind of test which proved beyond all argument the unparalleled staunchness of this light, sensible car. 5,452 miles of continuous running—a SevenDay Test over frozen Indiana roads—was the additional evidence we imposed, here at The Gibson Company, to prove Overland worth to floosier buyers. 20.24 miles per gallon was the fuel average. At Houston, Texas, this same model Overland was given a 25.000-mile run \vith practically no mechanical expense. In Washington, D. C., the car ran 3,269 miles

Srailar evidence, almost without end, could be furnished. People are finding out that this Overland exceeds in performance, in riding comfort, in economy, any car ever offered at anywhere near its price. Shrewd business firms are buying Overlands for their salesmen, and are re-ordering and re-ordering again 01 the strength of the showing of their first purchases. On the same evidence the private car buyer is purchasing Overland —truly the ideal car for the average American family. This is the car y<Ju can buy on an initial payment of $295—-Balance payable on the eminently fair and convenient Gibson plan. Sec the car. Take a ride in it. We are always ready and glad to demonstrate and explain in detail our special plan of selling. I
