This car was purchased by Dr. Garrett Tuesday afternoon through the local Overland agent, Mr. W.A. Payne, Messrs. Payne, Garrett and Butt went over to Columbus Tuesday afternoon and brought the car through the country to Butler. It is a perfect beauty and has been greatly admired by all who have seen it. Overland cars are in greater demand today than ever before and one of the most popular cars on the market because of their durability, elegance and smooth riding. If you are contemplating purchasing an automobile inquire into the merits of any of the Overland makes before doing so. Mr. Payne will take pleasure in showing and demonstrating these cars to you.
