But ONE BROTHER SURVIVES
The wonderful growth of the -Stude-
baker concern, from small cross roads
blacksmith shop OF so years ago to its
present state. with not civilized coun-
try in the world but what knows the
name, 'Studebaker." is one Of the inan-
cisl romances OF the age. Today there
remains only one of the original five
Studebsker brothers who operated the
cross roads blacksmith shop to enjoy
the fruits OF their labors to their full
est eXtent-Colonel George N. Stude-
baker. While he has practically re-
tired from active interest in the man
2 sEement OF the organization, it was he
who safely guided il to its present
strength after his four brothers had
passed away
Today there are many thousand
Studebsker automobiles in use in the
United States. What the future has
in store for this automobile can easily
be predicted.
Besides the electric pleasure and
commercial vehicles the company has
three types OF gasoline cars, two OF
which are recognized as standard of
their classes The first is the Stude-
bs ker-Garford go" which ranks with
the best foreign made cars on the
market. and the second the popular
little Studebaker EMF "Se," which
was last years sensational and this
years standard"

FLANDERS 90" More thar 1000 of these
machines have already been sold in
advance by the local branch Of the
Studebaker Brothers company. In de-
sign the machine will probably sur
pass anything heretofore attempted,
and in workmanship, reliability and
durs bilitv the StudebalSer standard VIII
no doubt prevail. More than $4,000 Of
these machines will be the factory's
FIRST years output. This, together with
the numbers OF cars that win be mar
keted OF the other two types. gives the
81 udebsker concern alone an output OF
nearly $4,000 machines in one year.
