Studebaker Bros Receive Shipment of Twenty
Carloads of Automobiles
By R. R. L'HoMMEDIEU

Twenty car loads-a total of 120 ma
chines-of the 1911 models of the
EMF $50" and Flanders "20" cars
arrived in this city yesterday for the
California branch of the Studebaker
Brothers company. Included in this
monster shipment of machines from
Detroit are EMF touring cars, Elan
ders suburban and Flanders runabouts
and the natty looking Flanders racy
roadsters. Unloading of these machines
was begun. at once, according to
Chester n Weaver, there is a tremend-
Gus demand for these cars all through
the territory supervised by the local
Studebaker branch-a demand such
that at times it is difficult to keep
single machine on the floor of the re-
postory.
In very few respects do the 1911
models of the EMF and Flanders diff
fer from their predecessors. the 1910
models. The general finish of the later
tars Is noticed, however, and in the case
of the Flanders the metal wheel and
the metal dash have been succeeded by
wooden wheel and a beautiful ma
| hogany dash, while the racy roadster
! of the Flanders machine has many
| features in its general outline which
serve to make it one of the most at
! tractive cars on the market.
The production of cars at the EN- +
|
able" said Weaver yesterday. During
| the second quarter of 1910, 6,594 cars
were manufactured and shipped, rep
resenting in cash more than $6,500,000
| Experience has proved to the Stude-
| bakers that production in large quanti-
| ties has enabled them to build better
! cars for less money, which fact is re-
| sponsible for the tremendous market
| for these machines.
Believing that a stage has been
| reached in the automobile industry
| which makes it the duty of every re-
sponsible manufacturer to protect deal
/ ers and owners with an absolute guar
antee, the EMF company, beginning
with the first of the present month,
guarantees as absolutely free from de-
fects in material and workmanship
every car manufactured by it. This
guarantee covers the equipment of the
car as we'll and the company will re-
place any part of the car which proves
detective. This is another feature
which will add much to the popularity
of the car in very short time
