VALUE not what you put

you get out of them not
what you pay, hut what
you're repaid that kind of
value means satisfaction.
In the old days, when a man bought
a suit of clothes for $15.00 or $18.00 he
wasn't especially concerned about it $15
or $18 wasn t a whole lot of money, any
how. But nowadays if he has to spend

Hepubllcan nomination for I'nlted Slates
Senator, with (lovernor Walter K. Kdge.
of Atlantic City, (leorge D. Record, of
Jersey City, nnd Representative Kdvvard
W. Gray, of Newark, as the participants,
j The chances nil favor the selection of
I VilirA tn II.. -nm nftllni,
Kdge for the nomination.
On the Pemncratle side there are
more contestants but thtp fight is not
so bitter ns In the Republican camp.
Former State Banking and Insurance
Commissioner George M. I-aMonte, of
Bound Brook, a.robahlv lends the field
and It is expected that he vvlll receive
the Democratic nomination to oppose
Kdge at the general election The
otner Democratic contestants for the
nomination are former Stato Senator
Charles O'Connor llennessy, of Hack

Bitterness has been Inlected Into the
Republican contest by Cray's nttacks

having shielded the New Jersey Heavy

this has been followed by a threat hv

nomination but withdrew some time
ago, stntlnR he was getting out of the

but In the same statement he delivered
a broadside at Iklge, accusing him of
building up a machine to lulng about
his own nomination to the L'nited States

On tlie other hand, Kdge has the pres

won many friends during his two years
In oIIIcp Of course, as might tip ex
pected, he lias made some political ene

much In h's favor Ills campaign has
been conducted tnostlj thiougli the press.
He has not taken the stump except to
speak at bcveral meetings of farmers

That Governor Kdge and his .sup

Old Overland Motor Car
Read This. It's the Most Unusual Offer Ever Made
Since the Start of the Automobile Industry
T7"E are not entirely sold out on new cars,
but it seems necessary, in order to success
fully carry out the war program, to cur
tail further manufacture.
We must have something to sell, and if we cannot
get new cars we must fall back on used cars in order to
maintain the splendid establishment we have built up
to take care of Overland patrons.
Though we have delivered in our territory nearly
3000 new cars since January 1, 1918, we have never
been able to trade in enough Over-lands and Willys
Knights to satisfy the resale demand.
We have traded in practically every make of car
as part payment for new Overlands and Willys-Knight
cars. We have learned by bitter- experience some
timesthe used cars that are worth while, and those
that are not.
77iis Is Our Plan :
We know motor-car values, and we have decided
to buy used Overlands and Willys-Knights and noth
ing else.
The useful life of an Overland or Willys-Knight
car averages six years. We have been selling them for
eight years and know this to be true.
Many now in daily service have been in use eight
or nine years, but the best years were the first six.
So we will buy for cash any Overland or Willys
Knight that has received reasonable treatment and is
not more than six years4old, at the following prices:
We will pay the list price of the car less a fixed
per cent for each year that has elapsed since the car
was" shipped from the Wiljys-Overland factory, an
average deduction of 16 2-3 per year over a six-year
period.
This offer is made only to original buyers and is
subject to withdrawal Avithout notice.

Hansberry, a Newark supporter of Gray,
to the effect thot the White House had
"a high opinion" of Gray Is sharply
criticized In the statement of Croasdale,
vvlio says!
"I have heard Insistent reports, since
Mr. Gray entered the campaign, that he
represented tho hope of thn Democratic
party to so scatter the votes among tho
three Republican candidates, Udge,
ltecord and Gray, as lo make possible
the nomination of Record, who repre
sents only the ultra radical faction, and
hurt Ivo the DemocrnlB a chance for
success nt tlie November election.
"It Is easy to appreciate tho fact that
ome such camouflaged Indorsement of
Tumulty Democrats wns Imperatively
necessary In view of tho splendid record
of Governor Kdge. Tne Republicans of
.New Jersey vvlll do their own nomi
nating." On the Democratic side the principal
fight li apparently being made by Hen-
nissy. although I.aMonte has the In
dorsement of many of the State leaders.
It was planned to have President Wilson
Indorse l.nMonte. but the President, In a
reply to n letter from llennessy asking
If lie was for any particular Democratic
candidate In the race, said that the con
ditions In New Jersey did not warrant
his interference
