The filling stailons were the toll houses and the gasoline tax was the toll. Public sentiment, not the traffic bu- reau or the police department, really enforces automobile regulations. To obtain the whole-hearted support of citizens generally, automobile owners and pedestrians, a safety congress has been called by Commissioner Hartnett of the New York Buresu of Motor | Vehicles.

Int fdea of by the Public LY built to order to stand fofemost in its price group, the new Cleveland Six for 1926 is clearly every inch the leader it was built to be. just remember that Cleveland Six has the famous Bowen-patented ‘One Shot” Lubrication System—an advantage possessed by no other car within a mile You can see immediately how Cleve- of the price. land Six stands by watching the crowds around the 1926 models at various Automobile Shows; by noticing how long people linger there; by listening to what they say. “One Shot”, at a mere press of your heel on a plunger, instantly flushes the entire chassis with fresh, clean lubri- cant. The car never cries for lubrica- tion. And everybody knows that fre- quent, proper lubrication is the life of the car! INCREASE THIS YEAR For buyers who investigate find in this extraordinarily good-looking dependable Overland Sedan they can get quality, comfort, room, power, speed, endurance — at a low price unequalled among four- cylinder cars. 91 features of qual- ity construction in this Overland model make it the finest-built light car in the world. Compare Point for Point ‘What is even more convincing is to make your own comparisons! All cars talk beauty. But beauty it- self talks for Cleveland Six. Look at these new Cleveland Six models and pass judgment by comparison. All cars make power claims. Just put them to the test. Drive them—then drive the new 1926 Cleveland Six and let its power speak for itself. The power of its smooth, quiet motor can say more about power than anybody, ever so gifted, could put into words. Homestly built and honestly priced— that's the story of Cleveland Six in essence—and that's the essential appeal of the car. Look at These Prices The new model 31 Four-Door Sedan is now priced only $1090; the new Model 31 Coupe, $1035: the new Model} 43 Special Sedan (which a few years ago sold for $2495) is now $1345; the new Model 43 Special Coupe, $1225. Prices f. 0. b. Cleveland. Last year, more Overland cars were bought than ever before. ‘When the price of $595 was an- nounced on the Overland Standard Sedan, the demand immediately exceeded production possibilities.

Let Cleve- land Six . .. with its roominess, with its deep, soft cushions, rich upholstery, buoyant spring suspension, easy steer- ing . . .. let Cleveland Six reveal its comforts by the way it makes you comfortable.
