STUDfBAKFR MAN
DISCUSSES IDAHO
Charles A. Quigley Much Interested
in Development of Gem
State.
CONDITIONS EXTREMELY GOOD
MUCH BUSINESS DONE BY FIRM
IN STATE.

Nampa, May 25.-No man on the Salt
Lake Commercial club excursion to
southern Idaho points has been more
Interested in the growth and develop
ment of the state than c. A. Quigley,
vice president of the Studebaker Bros.
Co. and general manager for that great
corporation in this territory. MIR. Quig-
ley said today that he was greatly in
terested in the development of the state
Of Idaho. because he appreciated the
fact that the development and growth
of the Gem state meant prosperity for
Utah and for Salt Lake City, it's most
important municipality. The Stude-
baker Bros. Co., which Mr.. Quigley
represents in an executive capacity, has
branches in Montpelier. Pocatello, Ida
no Falls, BlackfOOt. Rigby. Rexburg,
st. Anthony and American Falls, as
well as wholesale departments in Twin
Falls, Shoshone and HALEY, Mountain
Home. Boise and Caldwell. During his
trip with the Commercial club, Mr.
Quigley has found that conditions are
extraordinarily good, and that the de-
mand for the Studebaker lines was
never better. Mr.. Quigley visited the
branch houses in the cities touched by
the Commercial club, and found them
to be in excellent condition. Mr.. Quig-
ley was really surprised to learn that
Jackson's Hole country were insisting
on the Studebaker vehicles. The reason
expressed by the drivers was that their
experience was that they could not be
sure of covering the distance through
the rugged mountain country in any
other transportation wagons. From the
Teton Peaks on the north, where the
SNOW is perpetual, to the smiling val
leys on the south, that, under the touch
erything that is needed by man, the
vehicles of the Studebaker Bros Co
are being used. From the sprinkling
wagon to the runabout the people of
southern Idaho are learning more and
more to appreciate the value of the
Studebaker product.
1t has been a good many years since
the manufacture of wagons in a small
way was begun by the Studebaker
Brothers at South Bend, Ind. From a
beginning that was comparatively
small, this corporation has become
known throughout the United States,
but especially throughout the inter-
mountain country. And to the efforts
of G. A. Quigley the results last-named
may be attributed 1t has been Mr..
Quigley's effort from the inception of
the Studebaker campaign in this terri
tory to become personally acquainted
Win lne people Win whom he has
dealt. There is hardly a settler even ON
the new land that has been brought
under irrigation by the various com
panies that have undertaken irrigation
projects In Idaho with whom Mr. Quig-
ley has not a personal acquaintance.
They came TO meet him at the train as
ii stopped at the various stations, and
were glad TO see him. Mr.. Quigley, in
deed. was an indispensable factor in
the success Of the excursion, for it was
his privilege TO Introduce TO President
Halloran and other members of the
exile party the more prominent citizens
Of the southern Idaho country.
II was interesting TO every member
of the excursion to note that in sections
Of the intermountain country that were
apparently most remote from the wag-
on manufacturing center, that the
Studebaker vehicles were most in use.
