TO OUR CUSTOMERS
in power rates which we
We have steadfastly attempted to maintain the reductions
have given our customers voluntarily in the past.
The abnormal costs of operation in our plants, brought about by the excessively high
fuel and material markets of today have forced us to rate revisions which will assure contin-
tion of our present standard of good service to you.
That our customers may be fully acquainted with the problems we must meet at this
time, we have attempted to show in the columns of this paper the enormous increases which
have resulted in the markets in the past few raoaths.
FUEL-a commodity which represents sixty-four per cent of our production cost-
has advanced one hundred and thirty-nine per cent in price since February 1919. Our pur- '
chasing agents, in fact, have warned us repeatedly that every care must be taken constantly
to prevent depletion of fuel supply lest we cannot buy it at any price.
LABOR-which represents a large par cent of our production cost-has advanced
to a greater per cent, in recent months
GENERAL MAINTENANCE-
surprising figures.
puma factor in production—will show even more
Accordingly we have ndju.ted our rate .chedulea to meet the»e conditions, going
back to the base rate of 1916, your bill for this month being figured on thi, new hauls. We
hope that the adju.tment a. .hown by current billing to you will bo aufficient to enable m to
maintain our present standard of service to you—market condition, permitling.

A Year’s Abuse
in 7 Days
Overland 4, Running 168 Con-
tinuons Hours at Indianapolis
Piles up New Endurance
Record of 5,452 Miles
Every day Overland 4 traveled an average distance of
778 miles, more than the distance from New York to Toledo.
And it averaged that mileage and withstood all rack and wear
and vibration of this punishing pace and was ready to do the
job over again.
Overland 4, in the week’s continuous driving, from Feb-
ruary 25th to March 3rd, traveled 5,452.15 miles, averaging
20.24 miles to the gallon of gasoline. The car finished the
record on the tires with which it started. Its hourly speed
average was 32.45 miles.
The record for the run shows that the car made the fol-
lowing daily record: First 749 miles; second, 778; third,
747; fourth 793; fifth, 809; sixth, 823; and seventh, 753 miles.
This record shows a consistency of performance and an in-
creasing power which surprised the observers.
