OVERHEARD IN A TRAMCAR. "It always took mo three or four dayu to come to" town, do my business and got home, again. 1 had to leave early in tho morning for the eight; or nine hours' trip, and the horses* were always a lot of trouble. Now I can leave home at 10 in the morning and do the journey comfortably before lunch. If my business is over iii an hour or two I can get away and bo homo before sundown." This is the gist of some odds and ends of conversation overheard by the writer in a Eockliamplon (Central Queensland) tramear quite recently. It happened thai Mr. M'Kouzie, a well-to-do farmer who lived between 50 and 1)0 miles out of town, was lolling n friend a lirilo of his experience of motor-car travelling. Mr. M'Konzio owns cxtensivo propertynear Roekhnmpion, and has every facility for keeping hc-rros. His land is irrigated and the supply of fodder is practically ns'iirrd, lie is nearly sixty years of ago an.l not likely to ehnngo from old habits. ]n addition tho roads to town aro very good in ordinary fmo weather, Nevertheless this gentleman has becoruo tho proud and pleased possessor of an Overland Car, and tells his friends right and left of- tho groat saving of lime—two or threo days in an ordinary run. to (own over}' week. Thore's plenty of food for thought here. This is only one instanco of the man on tho land saving timo in an ordinary little business trip. And the greater tho distance the greater the saving of time and trouble. Horses nt their best aro slow, and unless they are particularly well fed. tiro quickly, wheroai tho Overland is always as frosh as over, and does not need any special feeding—just a liltU fuel. And so wo could go ou expounding tho good qualities of this wonderful, lifeguaranteed Car. However, if you aro interested, full particulars, catalogues, and a well-written booklet by Miss Scott, "MOO Miles in an Overland, will bo sent rou. Wrilo to A.
