"Willys Corporation lists among its assets 500,000 shares, or a little tnnre than 27 per cent of the common stock of the Willys-Overland Com pany. It has entered into a con tract with the Willys-Overland Com pany whereby this company, through a special unit of its sales organiza tion. will market the new Six. Aside from this, the two corporations are in no way related."

Mar shall F. Weimer, president of the concern, and Harold E. -Tlfe, secre- . tary and treasurer, had been desir- ] ous for some time of securing a lo cation in which they would be 1 equipped with better facilities for the handling of their business. Their new location supplies large salesrooms, together with garage room for the storing of cars and for their service station. A full line of accessories will be carried in addi tion to their regular line of cars.

KOUEUSBURO CSSfti TELEGItXPH NEW "OVERLAND FOUR" IS OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED Unusual Public Interest Has Been Centered jn This Latest Model; New Type Springs Overland 4, the new car of light weight construction for .which the public has been waiting since its in troduction was first rumored at the automobile shows about two years ago, was placed on exhibition in Harrisburg to-day at the Overland salesrooms of Overland Harrisburg company. Among the important improve ments is the use of three-point sus pension springs. Unusually graceful in body design, Overland 4 makes a splendid impression on the visitor. It was this new spring suspension, however, which absorbed motorist attention at the salesrooms. It is a combination of two principles that pave been used to greatest advan tage in automobile construction: First, that of cantilever sprihgs; second, the flexible three-point con struction. The luxurious riding comfort these springs furnish the car was immediately understood and appreci ated. It is this feature which gives to the new Overland car,, designed for light weight, that degree of rid ing comfort and security hitherto possible only in high-priced, heavier cars. But this Is only one of many fea tures in Overland 4 which hack the Willys-Overland Company's claim to success In giving the public " new standard of riding comfort." Guiding the development of this remarkable new car was Mr. Willys' ideal of a motor car which would combine with the economy of light weight all the comfortable riding qualities and the stamina of the heavy and expensive automobiles. He proposed a car of bilt-in quality which would free the owner from all possible upkeep expenses. This was not possible, the company claims, until the Willys-Overland Coqgpany devised this interesting three-point spring suspension, a spring seating radically different from the conventional design of four springs paralleling the chassis frame. New as this spring suspension is. it is Interesting to note that the de sign has been approved by the So ciety of Automotive Engineers. First, of course, the three-point cantilever spring suspension. The springs on Overland 4 extend 15 inches from a point on the chassis beyond the axles at front and rear, giving a wide diagonal shape to the springs. The car lias thus an actual springbase of 130 inches, although the car wheelbase itself is 100 inches. Each spring flexibly re sponds to its task of keeping the body and passengers riding on a con stantly even keel. Bobbing, side ways and lurching are materially lessened. Second —Economy. The new spring so protect the car from road shock as to make possible much lighter weight and hence a great saving in fuel and tires. Furthermore, the car Is so simple and accessible that costs of upkeep and repairs must be greatly reduced Yet the car's parts have a protected accessibility —a big factor in upkeep.. The car is assembled from five units only. The chassis is clear of all involved mech anism. The entire assembly requires only 50 bolts. The engine is a re markably high-grade, thoroughly up-to-the-minute power plant, com pact and simple. The neatness and cleanness of design bespeak the ready accessibility to all parts. Thjrd —Quality. Specifications in dicate that the Overland 4 has been built in each part of the finest qual ity steels and steel-alloys. The car's parts have been machined within the closest possible limits, permit p|XOty*g GRAPHITE Automobile LUBRICANTS MAKE IT A POINT to see the DIXON expert on lubrication here The flinetion of graphite is to form over the microscopic rough ness of bearing surfaces a won derfully smooth, durable coating that positively prevents actual metallic contact and wear.

In spection starts at the steel mills where the company has stationed ex pert metallurgists to test every heat i of steel, and the inspection ends i only with the owner's driving the car away. Fourth—Bountiful and complete - equipment. In every detail demountable rims to Auto-Lite start er, lights and horn, the equipment of Overland 4 appears to have been j planned with a single view of com- | fort, convenience and long service, j All seat cushions, which are de- j tacliable like those in a Pullman, | are upholstered with the luxurious I Marshall Divan springs. The wind- j shield is slanting rain vision. The • one-man top, curtains and cushions 1 are Duratex. The horn button is in j the center of the steering wheel. The • controls ure all mounted on a key- ! board on the cowl in instant and j ready reach. The motor of the Overland 4 is cast en bloc with a removable head. ' It has generous valve opening. The lubricating and oiling system I requires no pumps. The oil is cir- : culated by pressure automatically created and the water is circu- j loted by the Thermo-Syphons sys- ! tern or natural cooling method. No ! power is required of the motor to ' operate these systems. The steering apparatus is of the j planetary gear type with the geara i at the bottom of the steering col- j umn. By this arrangement all the j strain is taken at three points in- i stead of at one. i The clutch is of the single plate ! type now used by 71 per cent of the ' motor manufacturers. The selec- 1 live gear transmission has three speeds forward and reverse. It opcr- j ates in oil. The front axle is of chrome nickel , steel which affords both light weight land strength. The front wheels have ; tapered roller bearings. The rear : axle, also of chrome nickel steel, is three-quarter floating. The differ- : ential and rear wheels operate on annular ball bearings. The car is equipped with two brakes—foot and hand. These work : on 10-inch drums on each wheel and to assure safety are larger than ne- i cessity demands. Upon the instrument board, or "keyboard," as it is called on the ! | Overland 4, is centralized the hand f throttle, spnrk and choke control, j and the and electric buttons. ; together wlfh the speedometer dial and current indicator. In addition to the hand throttle, j there is a foot accelerator handily placed. The clutch and brake pedals are adjustable to reach. The wide, deep seats of the Over land 4 supplement the three-point [ suspension springs and comfortably accommodate live passengers. The cushions are equipped with Marshall divan springs. The upholstery throughout the car is long grain Duratex. All cushions, including the back and sides are removable. The I one-man top also is of Duratex. ' One of the chief aims of the build- i ers has been to maintain the highest ! standard of quality throughout the ; car in both the material and manq- I facture. This has been carried to ' the design and finish, the body de- ] tails and the equipment. The car has a streamline body which is entirely constructed-of steel with slanting windshield. The full crowned fendors arc of heavy sheet steel. The running boards are cov ered with linoleum. aluminum bound. The body and chassis are finished in hard baked enamel.
