Overland success is so eclipsing that one
night take it as a matter of course.
But make it have a personal application
to you,
—because the cost of any car is too much
money to be carelessly spent.
There need be no confusion in selecting the
sound value at the same Price—make
comparisons and see if Willys-Overland
does not spell the answer with mathe-
matical correctness.
Do not miss the significance of the over-
whelming production that makes it passi-
ble for us to give better cars at loner prices.
More than 400,000 owners have been
guided to Willys-Overland by their de-
sire for beauty, comfort and luxury in
addition to utility.
