colony of Virginia was
his birthplace, but the true lame

statement In the light of generally ac-
cepted history. but careful research
has established beyond doubt that
the ancient founder of the family from
which came the Father of our Country
was named William De Hertburn. The
key to this apparent paradox lies in
the fact that, in common with many
noblemen and monarchs of Europe,
the first president possessed an estate
name and a real, or family name, the
latter being known as the ~patronymic,
or paternal name.

French, and not English, origin, and

NAMES DROPPED
CARS WILL BE KNOWN
AS sTuDEBAkERs IN THE Fu-
tTURE-RoLD STROKE BY THE
BIG CORPORATION - BELIEVE
OLD NAME STANDS FOR MORE.

To change, by one bold stroke. the
name under which is annually market
ed a product valued at $50,000,000 Is
a feat Of daring new to Industrial his
tory. Yet it has just been performed
by The Studebaker corporation of De-
dealers all over the country that, in
the future, all the motor cars built
at its mammoth Detroit plants will be
known as "Studebaker" cars.
The change went into effect with
the opening of the current month. A
big battery of machine tools is now
engaged in turning out the initial
lot of 100000 "Studebaker'' script
radiator name plates which will re-
place those at present in use, not only
on the cars now being marketed but
also on all carr sold by the Stude-
bakers n their predecessors, the
EMF company, which was merged
into The S~tudebaker corporation some
time ago. AS soon as 1t is possible
to supply the monographs to Stude-
baker dealers, all cars now in use
will be equipped with them.
The change, though startling, . Is
thoroughly logical. Since the begin
ming of the automobile plants around
which the present Studebaker system
a been built, members of the Stude-
baker family have been heavy stock
holders. Two a. ago they acquired
a controlling interest. The automobile
plants are now owned outright by The
Studebaker corporation. Practically
all the cars built there have been sold
through the ~Studebaker branches.
Studebaker policies, prominent among
which are the broad guarantee and
close relations with retail dealers. have
dominated the firm for the past two
years.
With this condition In evidence. it
seemed to the executives of the cor
poration, as we'll as to it's dealers,
that the change was not only advis-
able but virtually essential. -tr-
From some points of view We re-
greet the passing Of the old EMF
80 and Flanders go radiator mono
grams" said Clement ~Studebaker, jr.,
first vice president Of the firm. "a
desire for uniformity is, however, very
strong among our dealers. They all
feel, too, that there is a marked adj
vantage in the old trademark that
has been borne by the goods made
by our family for three generations.
These conditions. and the fact that the
old monograms had long g lost
their personal significance, are the
real reasons for the change according
to which every car we hake and have
made will bear the S~tudebaker name,
henceforth."
