But Are They? 
T OO many people are fooled or 
mislead by taking bare automo¬ 
bile prices as a positive indica¬ 
tion of the intrinsic value of a car. 
This is exactly the wrong way to 
go about it. Because one article is 
priced higher than another it does 
not follow that that article has a 
greater value. 
The picture above illustrates this 
point. Here are two cars practically 
identical. The one on the left is 
the $950 Overland. The one on the 
right is the average similar car— 
priced at $1200—which offers no 
greater value. 
As a matter of fact there are any 
number of $1200 cars which are 
not, in value, the equal of the $950 
Overland. 
But how are we to know this ?— 
you ask. 
That’s simple. Ask some real 
questions; find out some actual 
facts; make some specification com¬ 
parisons—and then it is the easiest 
thing in the world to sum up the 
intrinsic value of any car made. 
For instance: 
The $950 Overland has a wheel 
base of 114 inches. 
The wheel base of the average 
$1200 car is no longer than this— 
often shorter. So in this respect 
you get more for $950 than you do 
for $1200. 
The $950 Overland has a power¬ 
ful 35 horsepower motor. 
No $1200 car has a larger motor 
than this. Here is equal value and, 
in most cases, more value for less 
money. 
The $950 Overland tires are 33 
inches x 4 inches—all around. 
No $1200 car has larger tires. 
Again—equal value—our price $250 
less. 
The $950 Overland has a com¬ 
plete set of electric lights—through¬ 
out—the same as on most $1200 
cars. Some out-of-date cars still 
cling to tho obsolete gas lamps. In 
the first instance the $950 electric¬ 
ally lighted Overland is the value 
equal of the $1200 car, and in the 
second instance has more value 
than the $1200 (gas lamp) car. In 
either case our price is $250 less. 
Next cornel the matter of equipment. 
The $950 Overland it complete—a jeweled 
speedometer, top, curtains, boot, windshield, 
electrio horn—everything complete. No 
$1200 car made has more complete or better 
equipment. 
And so on throughout the car. Point for 
point—specification for specification, the 
$950 Overland is, in every essential respect, 
the equal of any $1200 car on the market. 
So wo warn you. Ignore the prices. 
Compare the actual facts first. Then com¬ 
pare the facts with the prices and you get 
the intrinsic value. 
Wo are making 50,000 cars this year— 
the largest production of its kind in the 
world. And every Overland purchaser will 
save at least 30 °fo and get a superior car. 
See the Overland dealer in your town to¬ 
day. Then seo any competing car. Mako 
the comparisons we suggest. Then you will 
better realize how hard • comparison of this 
kind is, on any other car costing in the 
neighborhood of$1200.
