y FIRST CAR THE PUBLIC BUILT Engineer Belden Says Public Itself Has Dictated Design of Overland Four + “Overland 4," says EB. H. Belden, vice president in charge of engineer: ing for the Willys-Overland company, “is the first car J know of that has been engineered from the basis of pro. duction possibilities and the public's wants. [ft is the American publie’s car. When Mr, Willys gave the ord proceed to the development of began. When the firfist ear was pro- duced, the departments sales, seryice, 2 were consulted to ge their knowledge of the public's idea of the witimate} light car. > “The service department indicated the faults to be avoided; the adver tising epar:ment told the public's de sire and the sales department through} an interpreted the{ 1 dealer and sale public's actual ne And so on, And in refining the car we availed our. selves of the most practical of all these idea “There another feature to which J might call attention, Overland 4 is a new car from the ground up, No stock or parts left over from former models could be used in its construc- tion. The story of its design is no less new. In the past, it has been} something of an accepted custom for an engineering department to lock itself up to design a new model. Hobbies, and pet ideas of the en- gincers found a place in the design. | The engineering department then built its own model; tested that itself and vurned the result over to the tory and said; ‘Go ahead, build th This practice was entirely dis in. building Overland 4 “Overland 4 is the first light carl I know of which, from the ve: line of its design, has been built v regard for production possibility in the factory and with regard for all the public ted in a good light ear. The first experimental models were built in factory departments wiere the car would have to be built by the mechanics who now buikl the car in|. quantity production. And the t were not made by the engineering staff alone, but by all sorts of peoplej —service men, car-smashing mechan- ice, dealers, advertising men; and all sort of ordinary fol “This is the real secret of Overland 4. It has been designed by the public itself. Its design pr all the StS public has des: ina light, car with actual ease of riding. And it has been ‘built as the public would have it, Tae result is a car of unusually high qual- ity of maierial and construction and of unexcelled ease of riding because of the three point spring suspension.” HEAD OF WOMEN’S CLUB STARTS SUIT FOR SLANDER FIBS Carrington, Dec, 25.—On account of the prominence of both part action, & suit that will cause gre interest, was started the wherein cently elected preside nt of the tate federation of women’s clubs, is plain- tiff in an action asking $10,000 for alleged slander from Mrs. J, i.
