LAST WORD IN
ELECTRIC CARS
G. A. Quigley Receives New Stude.
baker High Speed Stanhope-
All improvements.
TO RUN GREAT DISTANCE
VIII Travel $50 Miles on Low Speed
Thoroughly Reliable.

The last word in the electric automo.
bile line has reached Salt Lake. 1t is
FOUND in the high-speed STAMFORD
owned and driven by Charles A. Ouig-
icy vice president and general manager
OF the Studebaker Bros. company OF
Utah. The car is made by the Stude-
baker Bros. company of South Bend
IND, and it leaves absolutely nothing
to be desired.
For years the Studebaker people have
Oeen building and experimenting with
electric automobiles. Each year pro
gress has been made, but the builders
have never been satisfied with thei1
work. In the new Stanhope they seem
to have attained the summit of electric
automobile construction Every i'm
provement suggested by years of ex-
perience, and some improvements that
have never yet entered into the making
Of an automobile, are found in the
Quigley car.
First, it's operation is so simple that
child can quickly learn TO run it
There are no bewildering arrays OF
levers, no laborious ''cranking." no dirt
no dust, no noise. The machine is as
easy to handle as a bicycle, and as
noiseless. While going at top speed il
can be stopped easily within its own
length, thus making a serious accident
pfacucally impossible.
The storage battery marks another
great forward stride. With it's thirty
six cells 1t contains electric power
enough TO propel the car distance OF
from eighty to ninety miles on the high
speed of eighteen miles an hour or 15C
miles on the low speed. The construc-
ton is with view to permanency and
comfort. The wheel base is longer than
that of any electric Stanhope on the
market, and the tires, four inches in
diameter, are as big as those used or
the heaviest gasoline cars.
Steel tubing is used wherever posi-
bic. thus combining lightness with dur
ability, and the soft cushions make a
ride in the new Studebaker high-speed
Stanhope continuous delight. Nor is
the capacity Of the car limited, as is
the case with most electrics, to two
persons. The seat is extra wide, thus
easily accommodating three adults.
The new machine is ideal for city use
or. indeed, for any use that does not
involve cross-country touring in
sparsely settled sections of the coun-
try. Any women can drive one for an
afternoon of calling without soiling heI
white gloves or dress. And those who
drive it are always sure that they will
return with as much speed and COM
fort as that with which they set out.
81 consider this the ideal city auto
mobile said Mr.. Quigley yesterday
afternoon. Il say this with some
knowledge of the automobile business
for I have owned both gasoline and cleo
trio cars. And I say to you that when
you can, as easily as turning an cleo
trio light switch, drive and control an
electric car, you have very closely APP
preached in intra-mural transporta-
ton
And one of the very best of all the
good things to be said for the new car
is the fact that the cost of uplxeep is
trivial, as compared with other cars. II
can be maintained for considerably less
than a horse and buggy, and great
deal more mileage can be covered with
