FACTO EY OUTPUT IS INCREASED
The biggest sensation in automo
bile circles so far this year la the cut
of $325 in the price of the Overland.
The largest four-cylinder Overland
produced this year -will sell for $750.
Specifications show that, better in
many particulars, it is otherwise
practically the famous Overland
Model 80 which last season sold for
$1,075. It Is lighter in weight, has
more power, an Improved starting
and lighting system, one-man top,
headlight dimmer and divan up
holstery. The remarkably low price la directly
In line with the Overland policy of giving
the consumer the benefit of the saving!
accomplished by tho wonderful facllltlea
of tho big Toledo factory. Six years of
preparation and development of those
facllltlea have' brought the Overland
company to the point where It can offer
a real family car, combining road com
fort and economical operation for this
low price.
51s Hundred a Day.
John N. Willys, president of the com
pany, stated a few weeks ago that the
lug additions at the Overland plant make
possible a dally output of 600 cars, or
double that which gave his company first
place In the records of the Automobile
t'hamber of Commerce. Overland of
llcials declare that It is only the econ
omies of such a tremendous production
that enablo them to establish a price for
their product which is so revolutionary.
Model S3, as the new Overland la known,
is a large touring car, with a body roomy
enough to seat five grown persons com
fortably. In power, finish, comfort,
equipment and construction, it la fully
the equal of lta predecessor.
Thlrty-Flre-Horae Power.
The .15-horse power motor Is! exactly
- the same aa that of last season's large
Overland four, and In view of the car's
lighter weight, the surplus of power la
even greater.
, The body also is like that of last sea
son's Model 80, conforming to the very
' latest notions in streamlike design The
scats are roomy, with high, comfortable
. backs. The divan upholstery cushions
are built on' deep, resilient colled springs,
while the covering Is of the waterproof
gray cloth, which recently has become so
popular because It Is so much more com
fortable. This upholstery la trimmed;
with leather.
The body finish is of rich Brewster
green, with striping of Ivory white. Fit
tings are of polished nickel and alumi
num. Fenders and trimming are black
ensuneled.
Simple Wiring.
Tha starting and lighting system Is of
a most effective two-unit type, entirely
separata from - the Ignition, permitting
tha simplest possible wiling. A high ten
sion magneto la used for Ignition. No
dry cells are required. Cooling Is by
Uie same thermo-syphon.
A constant level splash system pro
vides thorough lubrication under all con
ditions of usage. The oil baa has a ca
pacity of eight quarts. A float gauge In
dicates the amount of oil In tha crank
case. . .
An oil sight feed Indicator has a small
revolving wheel, whloh is kept hi mo
tion by the flow of oil and is always
clearly visible. This de-vioa. is located on
the cowl dash instrument board, together
' with the magneto speedometer, ammeter
and the carbureter priming button. The
carbureter is of an improved type with
a hot air attachment for both primary
nnd auxiliary air ports and is . exceed
ingly simple In adjustment. The axles
used In laat season's Overland are un
changed, but the brakes are large and
powerful enough fur a much heavier car.
First Chandler Six
Travels 80,000 Miles
With over D0.000 miles of strenuous ser
vice to its credit. Chandler No. 1. the first
Chandler alx ever built, is still producing
dividends on Its original cost at the big
Cleveland plant of the Chandler com
pany. As Is the case with the first car turned
out by any company, the veteral Chandler
six has been subjected to every variety
j of test that tha engineering department
. can prtscrtbe. On its maiden trip, Cnan
i dler No. 1. erosaed the Allegheny moun

Cleveland to tha New York Automobile
show. This was In January, 1912, and
