Tr* ' As It Is The Road Three As It Seems A f. f ?In New Overland 4 on oint Cantilever Springs YOU expect a bad road to ride as it looks. It did, until the introduction of the Overland 4 Spring Sase. Overland 4 does not change the road, but it does change the manner in which you can ride on it. It gives you comfort instead of dis-comfort. It gives you a smooth, sailing sensation instead of bouncing and swaying. The Diagonal attachment of Three-Point Canti lever Springs at theendsofa 130-inch Springbase gives long wheelbase road steadiness. Yet Overland 4 retains all the advantages?lightness, econ- Sj ai?y,andeaseofhandling,of iOp-inch wheeibase. II v This means an altogether new standard of riding comfort, a noteworthy reduction in the wear and tear which lessens the efficiency of a car. The new springs give longer life to every part and thus minimize up keep and replacement costs.' Tires wear longer because" cushioned against hammering blows. Light weight means marked econ omy in gas, oil and running expense. Overland 4's equipment is complete from Auto^ Lite Starting and Li J .ting to Demountable Rims.
