The run was started from 50th street and Broadway, New York, at midnight, July 18. Just 179 hours later, or roughly seven and a half days, this light weight car had com- pleted one of the most interesting and unusual trans-continental jour- neys in recent automobile history. Eleven states crossed, with all their variety of rough country roads, broken mountain trails, stretches of mud and weary wastes of desert- land; yet the car arrived in San Francisco ready and fit to make a return trip.

The Over- land run was directed against high costs of gas, oil, tires and upkeep. i The object of the run was to de- i termine a national standard of econ- f omy and stamina for the light-weight car, a class in which the Overland has created a sensation because of its many new features, including the i Triplex Springs, designed to ward { off the jars and jolts of the roughest roads and thus prolong the life of the car while protecting passengers from A Genuine White Rotary Portable Sewing Machines, manufactured by White Sewing Ma- NINN NOL Try it at the Picnic A Drink That will win Instant Favor YOM r7avii7avt fli7ax1 [ral 7avii7aYii ray the usual road discomforts.

This run establishes the light-weight Overland as ideal not alone for its economy in city traffic, but for its combination of stamina and economy i in the most abusive test that could | be devised. 8 The Overland record was not made | by experienced drivers, selected by the factory.

Accordingly, each distributor and dealer whose territory was crossed furnished a driver. There were good drivers and bad; men who saved the { car and others who punished it. \ In crossing the eleven States on the route this Overland was driven by 25 different men, none of whom | had ever seen or handled the car be- } fore it arrived in the town where they were told to meet it. Thus the average of 27.2 miles to the gallon becomes a measure of performance for the ordinary man's ability in driv- 3 ing, rather than whatever record f trained crews of experts might have i accomplished. Night and day, this Overland was driven, always westward. The car stopped only for the refilling of the gasoline tank and change of drivers. |= On the sides of the car were painted |= the words: "Overland Economy |= | Run. New York to San Francisco. Sil How Much Gas." The question? { How Much Gas? started a dozen i guessing contests throughout the United States. Wherever the car went, there was an enthusiastic re- { ception for the new light car stand- ard maker. Throughout the run the most care- ful check was kept of the gasoline ceived.
