OVERLAND CAR
HAS LOW COST
Upkeep Low—One Man Drives
Car Nine Years With
Little Expense.
Important factors in the manu
facture of Overland cars, as proved
daily by enthusiastic reports from
owners, include, factory engineers
declare, an unusual built-in quality
that insures long life and fine serv
ice in the hands of Overland own-
Ever since Willys-Overland first
brought out the x Overland four
eylinder car, quality has been the
all-important feature, coupled with
the lowest possible price, accord
ing to company officials.
Thousands and thousands of Over
land owners are highly enthusias
tic over the performance of their
cars, and unusual illustrations of
Overland performance daily reach
the Willys-Overland factory.
H. M. Vandergraaf,. of Goodwin,
S. D., purchased his Overland in
June, 1916. "This car has been in
continuous service since its pur
chase," he writes, "and only yester
day I drove it more than 200 miles
through mud and over bad roads
without the slightest trouble, carrying
four grown people and four children
in the car."
One company executive, in com
menting on this owner's letter, de
clared: "That is just typical of
built-in quality that has marked
Overlands ever since we started to
construct them."
"My total expense for parts, me
chanical service, etc., continues
Vandergraaf's letter, "has been but
$24.95 in the entire time I have
had the car. A neighbor and my
self overhauled the engine last
winter for the first time in the nine
years' excellent service this car has
given." Such illustrations of the
fine performance of the economical
Overland cars over a lojjg period of
time are every-day occurrences at
the factory, Willys Overland officials
declare.
Call at the W. L. Horn Overland
Co., Forest City, and let them tell
you more about the wonderful Over
land.

Don't cheat yourself through a point of pride "that
you've never had a cent of expense on your car."
When your car will no longer run is a mighty poor
time to take it to a garage. Sure, we can fix it—but
the cost is probably twice what it would have been
had it been overhauled regularly.
It's not too late to start now.

Enjoyable Reunion
Caroleen, Aug. 10.—About 250
friends and relatives of the Scoggins
met at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
L. M. Hawkins Wednesday, Aug. 5,
1925, to celebrate the fact that the
five living sisters and one brother had
the privilege of meeting together aft
er twenty-three years of separation.
The morning was spent in seeing
friends and relatives who for a great
part have not met for many years.
At about one-thirty o'clock the
table was prepared with a sumptuous
repast. Every one enjoyed this to
the fullest extent.
After the feast the attention of
the crowd was called to the front of
the house, where two readings were
given by Misses Bridges and Mabel
Rollins, after which Mr. J. L. Fran
cis of Oklahoma City, Okla., made a
very interesting talk on various
things. After his address Mr. A. L.
Smart made a few interesting re
marks. This was followed by a talk
from Mr. Lewis Wells.
Every body present had their pic
tures snapped.
Each and every one went away
hoping that it will not be as long as
it has been till they have another
one.
The five sisters and one brother
present were: Edia Jay, Maggie
White, Sittar Stacey, Nancy Haw
kins and Charlotte Green and Mr.
Jack Scoggins.

The community was saddened and
shocked to hear of the death of little

along fine until just a short while
before her death Friday.
The deepest sympathy of the en
tire town goes out to the family in
