It is from the first burning of the oven,, and here after we may expect to be supplied with jugs, jars, pans, crocks, flower pots and all L such ware from our home manufactory. In time we know itnd feel that handsome and costly ware will be made there, as we are satisfied that the clay is of superior quality and can be utilized for almost any purpose. At our earliest oppor tunity we shall write up our notes of the famous pottery of Louisville; we only make this short notice this week that it may get the benefit of our 400 extra circulation in this issue. We shall keep this fine jar if it does not get broke as long as any family jar can be kept, and remember it as the first of its kind in Kass Kounty. Some Plums.

( ( 4 o- SERVICE Every Overland Car sold in this vicinit is still in service. since 1908 PRICE No car today gives as much real value for )ie money as the Overland. You can satisfy yourself on this subject (y comparing specifications with competitive cars. UP-KEEP No car was ever built that did not at ime time or other need some repair. Repairs for the Overland cat be obtained the same day as ordered, and. at prices far below whatother manu facturers charge. This fact does not occur to the averate buyer until he needs some parts and finds it takes from one to threj weeks to get parts and in many cases at prices two and three times iat the Over land asks. Automobile factories have declined in - lumbers from 270 in 1 9 1 1 to 1 1 9 in 1 9 1 5. In other words 1 5 1 factoies out of 270 have quit making cars in the last four years, and well Informed men in the automobile business predict that the change in1 the next two years will be still more startling, which means that it w 1 be still more difficult and still more delay on parts for cars that are i ot being man ufactured at that time. There is only one manufacturing plant in the world that produces more cars than the Overland Company, which has increased its pro duction from 400 cars in 1908 to over 100,000 cars per year now. If the Overland car had not given lar better average satisfaction to the buyer in the past it would not have outstripped allita competitors, manv of which were in the automobile held twice as long. ... - t i t v I! 4 --'- 5 : - l.. - -
