mqst thorough and severe test possible
250000 miles of mountain trails desert 1

strated the quality of every part of the car
long before we began manufacturing

that Three-Point Cantilever Springs exclu-
sive with Overland are: the greatest improve- -rneht
in riding comfort since the introduc-
tion of pneumatic tires
They protect the car from road shocks
and prolong the life of every part

better to the road They give
greater comfort under all road conditions
They do away almost" entirely with side
sway and rebound which twist and rack the
