Can you identify this car?...The maker is sufficient to get the point.

Not Overland...it's from a quite obscure maker.

This is a very well earned point! Neither Georgano speaks about Fostoria, so I think it was not so easy to find.  I add a picture with the logo.

Thank you for the point, I found it in the Standard Catalog of American Cars, not exactly the same picture, see below, but very similar. It wasn't easy, I'd been searching since it first appeared in the expert section.
