SMOOTHER OPERATION WITH A LIGHTER OIL Winter Lubrication Is an Im=| portant Precaution at | This Time. Lagt month's threats of an early | Winter served to' warn many city motoris{s that the proverbial "stitch | in time" may save nine expensive | radiators and much needless wear | and tear on ears and on their | driver' patience. ! "Should I put heavy oil in the] transmission. and differential ini place of grease this cold weather?" | i$ a common question just now | among automobilists. | Winter requires the use of al lighter lubricating medium for the! motor car than summer, singe the | lower {emperature has a pronounc- ed congealing efiect on oils and | greases. | It is better to use heavy oil ini both the transmission and differen- tial In winter in place of grease, gen- | erally used in summer. In the en- | gine, also, a lighter oil 'is often found more satisfactory in * 'ebld weather. \Naow is the time to have! the engine ofl drained and the oil ing system washed out with Kkero- | "seng' and refilled with a lighter oil. The same applies to the trangmie- sion and differential gears. It wil be a little more work to wash the! bard grease from these gears than | it is to clean the engine, but the | extra work this requires will be re-| pald by the smoother operation it | assures for the. car. i a Back to the Road. { A bird's eye view of the roads in England during the first days of the great railwhy sigike would certainly bave been worth having, even at a cost, The conyeyances which jusn- | ed out on the roads with such re- | markable speed were almost as var. ied in point of shape and date as they | were numerous, The war period saw | some odd-looking vehictes in London, -but nothing lke to the extent of the last few days of September. In fact no more curtous collectfon of wheels been seen at one time trumdling r way from Yown to country or from country to towh. Of all the amusing spectacles possibly the quaintest was that of a dozen of min- fstets cycling along the Welsh roads in top hats and frock coats to take up Sunday duty at a distance.

It solves the problem which has baffled automotive engi- neers--how to combine riding comfort with light weight and economy. Our new Three-Point 'Cantilever Springs make this possible. These are the first springs of their kind 'and they are made of chrome vanadium steel. They are exclusive with Overland. : Because of these springs, Overland 4 combines the riding qualities of large, heavy, expensive, long wheelbase cars, together . with the advantages and economy of small, light cars. With 100-inch wheelbase, Overland 4 has the luxurious riding ease of 130- inth Springbase. : The exclusive, Three-Point Canti- lever Springs cushion the car so that it rides well on all roads: they reduce choppy rebounds and side swaying, protect the car from road shocks and Jie prolong its life, minimize twisting or racking of frame and body, enable the car to hold the road better. The car and passengers ride smooth- ly as though floating, free from road shocks. But this new riding tomfort, possi- ble only with these Three-Point Canti- lever Springs, is but one of the advan- tages of Overland 4. Its light weight makes possible great economy of gasoline and tires. High quality materials insure dura- bility. All vi"al parts of the front asle and steering gear and all highly « stressed driving gears and shafts are made of alloy steel. The equipment list of Overland 4 is likz that of expensive cars: Auto-Lite Szarting and Lighting System, Electric #lor -- Specially Resilient Upholstery Rims--Three .Speed Transmission--Slanting Rain Vision Windshield --Tillotson Carbu- retor, and many other high quglity Springs--Demountable _conveniences. ¥ In every respect Overland 4 is a quality car. The body is all steel, all enamel, the brightest, hardest, most lasting finish. Overland 4 has been tested for two years and more than 250,000 miles over the Rocky Mountains, prairies, through deep mud and scorching des- erts--through quick, sharp climatic changes. As a result of these tests we were able to judge the car's performs ance under every condition and to per- fect it before offering it to the public. There is no previous car of any sige or price to adequately compare with the character of service Overland 4 in- troduces, ' The farther you ride in it the more you will appreciate it. Come in and get a Booklet. The demand for Over- land 4 will be greater than the supply for some time. Overland 4 Touring, $1195; Roadster, $1195; Coupe, $1845; Sedan, $1995. Prices f. o. b.
