HAKRISBURG sSJIfe TELEGRAPH OVERLAND LIGHT FOUR MAKES HIT New Model Possesses Good Style With Low Sweep ing Body Lines Although the Willys-Knight Eight, the Country Club and the Big Four and Light Six attracted their share of attention at the auto show, a great deal of interest was displayed in the Light Four just brought out by The Willys-Qverland Company. In order to thoroughly lntroducs its merits, a stripped chassis was featured at the exhibit. The new Light Four at $055 is a car of exceptional quality marketed at a price that does not do the car jus tice, as it places it in a price-notch below its proper classification. This car possesses good style, be ing built low with harmonious full, sweeping body lines. The doors fit Hush with the body: door hinges and handles are all concealed, giving the car a clean, trim appearance that is stylish in the extreme. The windshield is the latest sloping style. It is also built-in and curves with the cowl. It is part of the car, and looks it. High crowned fenders are curved to blend gracefully into the lines of the body. The finish of the car is a deep, rich Erewster green, set off attractively by iißi!Wßatj{,Tiiiijniiiii'ii l iiiii i iLiiniiniuiiinL'ic-%Ac^aky)rßiiriißtißi"iiv.'wiiiiiutir: ii iiii"iiimi:iiim SHEE the new model B-4-24 Brl&coe—• bfg, I powerful looking cai.

It is powerful enough to go anywhere that a six, eight or twelve cylinder car will go, its makers as sert, yet it is able 10 give unusually hitch mileage per gallon of gasoline. Vacuum system insures uniform gaso line feel under all road conditions. In addition to these good qualities the car possesses that most desired of all motor car advantages—easy riding. The soft cushions, the long and resilient cantilever springs, tho four lncli tires, the J 06-inch wheel base and the proper balance of construction, absorb all jolts. Five passengers can ride comfortably in this car. All possible driving comforts and conveniences have been included. The starting and lighting are by electricity. The switches for the lights, ignition and horn are located just below the steering wheel. Clutch and service brake pedals work so easily and smoothly that a young girl can oper ates tliein. These can also be adjusted to the length best suited to the driver's reach. Gear shift and emergency brake levers are In the center, on the right hand of the driver, yet so placed that they do not interfere with passage in or out of the car. The instrument hoard is one more indication of the car's complete equip ment. Speedometer, ammeter and oil Indicator are high up on the dash, within the driver's direct line of vision. An electric light Is so placed that It illuminates the entire instru ment board at night. The lamp also serves as an Indicator that the tall light is working properly, as the two are connected in series, so that if the tail light goes out, the dash lamp will give immediate warning. The side curtains fasten from the inside—a big advantage in a sudden shower. The gasoline tank is in the rear of the car, where it can be filled without disturbing any of the passen gers or submitting them to the annoy ance of gasoline fumes. The Light Four is. also made In a two-passenger roadster design at $650. "How is it possible to manufacture such a car at such a price?" has been the question repeatedly hurled at John N. Willys, president of The Willys- Overland Company. "Concentration of our buying power and distribution of sales an . factory costs over our entire line or cars," Is his reply. "We have one executive organiza tion. one factory management, one purchasing unit, one sales expense, and one group of dealers to plan, produce and sell our entire line. The tremendous economies or this method are obvious." "The low price of our Light Four model is characteristic of the great values we are offering the automobile buyers of all classes by our complete line for 1917."
