Modern Overland Stage
Coaches Are Overland Cars
Four Overlarid cars—model Bti's I
a're now plying as up-to-date stage
coaches between Phoenix, Roosevelt !
I»m and Globe, Arizona, over what
Js known as the Apache Trail. Two
railroad companies hare a traffic
agreement with this stage line to route
transcontinental travelers whenever)
desired over this road.
After careful consideration and ex
haustive investigation Overland
"sixes" were chosen as the cars best
available for this country. The route i
Is 120 miles long and in very poor I
condition, as It was originally con- |
structed for the hauling of material
by eight, and ten-horse teams. During
the construction of the Roosevelt Dam
this heavy freight work wore the top
surface off the road, and It has never
been repaired since.
In Fish Creek Canyon the severest
service Is required of these "sixes" as
they usually carry a full complement i

The running time is eight hours.
The peak of excursion traffle fre
quently calls for the doubling back of
the cars at night from one end of
the route to the other.
At one time last year for three days
in succession the excursion traffic was
so heavy that the cars had to double
back each night, relief drivers being
used.
This heavy work made a mileage
for the cars of 720 miles in three days,
which only gave time for a very
casual Inspection and filling with oil
and gasoline during that time. ,

Under thees abnormal road condi
tions a set of tires has heretofore
lasted less than a thousand miles, but
Overland "sixes" have averaged thus
far a.OOO miles to the tire, which con
sidering the condition of the road has
been wonderful service, and has
demonstrated the perfect balance of
this car.
Gasoline and oil consumption, too.
have been entirely satisfactory to the
management, and as high as sixteen
miles to a gallon, has been reported,
an unusually high figure under such
conditions.

Small Car Solves Many
Transportation Problems
"One of the greatest advantages of
the modern, small, light automobile lies
in the fact that it places at the hands
of millions of people a means of trans-
porlation entirely within their indi
vidual control,'• says John N. Willys,
president of the Willys-Overland Com
pany, of Toledo. ""Time, speed and
direction are all controlled by the man
at the wheel, and no matter whether
the objective point is one or one hun
dred miles distant, he can go when he
pleases, as he pleases, and how he
pleases.
"The automobile has developed all
classes of transportation. Street cars,
railroads and boat lines all travel over
fixed routes and their running time de
pends on the schedules mapped out for
them.
"Miss a train, and there is nothing
to do but wait for the next one. You
are governed entirely by the time table.
A motor car puts you nearer, in time,
to your train, 110 matter where you
live. With a motor car you can take
a short cut and speed up, if necessary,
to l;eep an appointment or make a
train connection." You are the master
and the car waits for you, and after
pressing the starting button you can
go as far and as fast as you please.
"Fifteen years ago the horse and
railroads were depended upon almost
entirely for transportation. Then the
motor car began to forge rapidly to
the front as a means of carrying people
and merchandise, and it was not long
before It had relegated the horse to
the background.
"The automobile, more than any
other transportation agency, has
brought city and country together. It
is the only thing that has made sub
urban life away from the railroads
possible. Where the railroads touch
only the high spots of civilization, the
motor car weaves its way among farms
and villages in the most obscure parts
of the world.
"Motor cars have quickened the dis
tribution of farm products and have
increased the radius of the merchants'
delivery syst-em. Traveling salesmen
now find it possible to double their
territory and cover the ground in one.
half the time it used to take them with
horse and railroad facilities.
"In fact, the automobile has been a
boon to all mankind, and if any one
class has been benefited more than an
other, it is the farmers. This is es
pecially noticeable since trie small,
light, economical car has been per
fected. as is shown by the increasing
number of our new light models that
are finding their way into the rural
districts. Fully 60 per cent, of the
Overland production for 1915 was sold
! I*, farm people and the indications are
. that litis percentage will be increased
during the current year."
Newspaper Advertising
Best Says Chalmers
"Money makes the mare go" is 'he
old saying. Hugh Chalmers has
changed it to "Advertising makes the
rars go." So tirm is Mr. Chalmers in
his belief that one million dollars will
be spent this year telling the public
about Chalmers cars .
Newspaper advertising is the back
bone of the Chalmers campaign,
though of course some of the great
I national weeklies and magazines are
| also used. Paul Smith, vice-president
| in charge of sales, says this of news
| paper advertising:
"The local newspaper is the now
1 medium. It is Hie solar »plcxus blow
which hits at the door of each home
in each dealer's town. And that means
sales now. The national weekly and
magazine is necessary, but the timely
blow is delivered by the daily paper in
each sales district. As a proof of our
absolute faith in this fact we are using
1,600 newspapers throughout the coun
try several times each month in the
campaign we are now waging."
In a recent talk to a board of com
merce Mr. Chalmers said: ,
We are exhibiting

"Advertising increases my sales so
that I simply cannot afford to <lo with
out it. The only man who can't adver
tise is 1 he one with so much business
hi can't handle it, or the man with so
little business il isn't worthwhile. Our
secret of advertising is as simple as

Backing up this interest-creating ad
vertising. the Chalmers company is
upholding its standard of "quality
first" in the 3400 r. p .m. Bi.\-30 Chal
mers and the results are phenomenal.
The combination of advertising nnd
quality, backed by service and aggres
