son on authority of his local, asserted
that small consumers of water should not
have to pay over 15 cents per thousand
gallons, when other cities give water at
half Omaha's rate. It asked that tho
central union tako action on tho matter
and see what can be done to lower tha
water rales. The union decided to con
sider the matter at Its next meeting.

We claim that none are better none so

' No-Rim-Cut tires make rim-cutting im
possible. And we control the only feasible
method yet found to end this waste.
Needless blow-outs, due to wrinkled fab

extra process costs us $1,500 daily, and no
other maker employs it.

else. It lessens this

All these costly features these money
saving features are found in No-Rim-Cut
tires alone.
What Extra Value?
Then what of extra value can higher prices buy?
We know of no way at present to build better tires
to give lower cost per mile. We have tried
thousands of formulas, fabrics, methods and proc
esses. But no man as yet has found any way to
improve on No-Rim-Cut tires.
Users have found these the best tires built.
That is shown by the fact of tho largest sale. And

THE 1914 Overland is a large,
magnificent, five-passenger
family touring car having
a powerful motor, a long wheel
base and large tires. It is built
to stand without stress or strain
the hardest kind of work. Me
chanically, the chassis is as sound
as that found in the most expen
sive cars in the world. This new
Overland is beautifully finished,
absolutely durable, unusually
comfortable, and comes complete
ly equipped even with a full set
of the most up-to-date electric
lights.
Yet, it costs 30 per ct. less than
any other similar car made.
The Overland is a remarkably
economical car on both gasoline,
oil and tires. This is due to its
perfect mechanical balance. It
never wastes a drop of gasoline
or oil.
Yet it costs 30 per ct. less than
any other similar car made.
Check up its specifications, the
the length of its wheel base, the
size of its tires, the horse-power
of its motor, the completeness of
its fine equipment, its roomy ton
neau; in fact,, check every detail,
part and piece with the corre
sponding specifications of any
other car in its price class. Then
compare the costs and you f ind
That the Overland costs you
30 per ct. leas than any other
similar car made.
Our selling price is lower be
cause our production is larger.
Producing more cars of this type
than any other manufacturer in
the world, permits us to use the
most economical and labor-sav-ing
manufacturing equ i p m e n t
ever invented. Every part of the
Overland car is made in Overland
factories.
That's why this car is 30 per ct.
under other current prices.
The motoring season was never
better. Roads are opening up in
every direction. Nature, herself,
is beckoning you out in the open.
All out of doors is coaxing and
teasing you to get a car.
Buy with discretion; examine
carefully this the sturdiest of cars
and you will find it, without ques
tion or doubt, the most inexpen
sive car to buy, and the most
economical car to operate.
Remember it is 30 per ct. un
