Best Car at Low
Price Is Problem

d. A. Prentiss, the Richmond dis
tributor Of ~Studebaker cars. on
hibition at the auto show, says thar
the arst and greatest problem of all
automobile manufacture is simply
this: How to produce the best car for
a low price.
Now there is just one way known
to man by which n question can
be answered, that is: BY building
so large a number of cars that the
manufacturer can afford the machin-
cry necessary to build cars in the best
manner possible.
This is what is known as modern
quantity and quality production.
Let us stop here a moment and
make Ii clear. Most manufacturers
of automobiles are "assemblers,f1 not
real manufacturers. They buy a mo-
tor from one parts manufacturer. Il
ira nsrnission from another. a rear
axle from another and then put the
parts together to make a car. Nat
urally they have to pay a good profit
to the parts manufacturers ana then
resell to the buyer at another profit.
Wfrert they are done they may fiasssa
produced a pretty good car, htif--and
this is the point-it is bound to cost
NhF "o1y1A z Cl ~ i4iiitiA E1 dQ&A1zkS
more than 1t would cos II the manu-
facturer made the whole car himself.
Remember two things here:
No matter what price you pay
you get more than You pay for.
Two. Every high priced car and ey-
cry assembled car could be sold at
from three-quarters 70 three~ffths Of
its present price if the manufacturers
really made all his W car and III
that car were built in quantities up
wards of 20. 900 cars annually.
h brings us TO the Studehaker
method.
Studehaker automobiles from top
to tread in our own factories, which
cover forty acres of floor space. And
we are building $4,000 cars his year
The only exceptions to~our wff
manufacture are tires. lamps mag
neto and one or two similar parts,
which no automobile manufacturers
ought to build.

Why We Can Give
These Values

We have been making the
finest machinery in its line
for the past 70 years. We
are able to make unusual fac
tory savings. Our capital is
$40, 900, 900. We created no
new business when we began
making automobiles. We
saved on systems, on costly
experiments. We added lit
tie selling cost, no officers,
sales managers, advertising
department salaries, Office
rent or other such overhead
expense. We had all our
agents before a car was put
out. We put all these saw
ings into the car. We are
selling thousands of Case
Cars to our old custom
ers who have owned our ma
chinery for years. We are
stalking a 70-year reputation.
Don't you think you can
take our word for these val
ues until you prove them out
on the road?

Where Hundreds Of Dollars
Go at the snow

When you visit the show go see the car of extra values
amounting to hundreds of dollars. Hidden values that go
into every Case Car.
Values in the construction and metals that show only
on the road, after the car has been run 5000 or 10000 miles.
That save in the cost of upkeep and repair bills. There
are the salientfeatureso of the Case Forty.
You want a stylish car, of course. The Case from the
standpoint of style is perfection. But you're also buying
a car to keep, so consider these facts.

We could make large savings on the cost Of our motors
by using cheaper materials and leaving out vital features.
The roller push rods in these motors are found elsewhere
only in the highest priced cars.
We could save on our clutches, transmissions, drive shafts,
wheels and other essential points.
We could make large savings on axles If we used other
than complete Timkens.
We use the same radiator that $4,000 cars employ.
We could cut our assembling cost in two and this cost is
one of the greatest.

We are paying extra costs in this manner throughout the

reporters who We're eager to get his
story.
There was another Arctic explorer

The explorers name is Leffingwell
and he halls from Pasadena
During the last eleven years LET
fingwell has spent considerable time
on the north coast of Alaska He
has made survey, with soundngs
of about $50 miles of this coast To
the whalemen and ever-increasing
number of trading vessels this sur
vey will be of incalculable value
More recently he has devoted him
self to a series of astronomical OBJ
of half a dozen geological horizons
from each of which he has brought
home fossils.
Leffingwell says that surveying in
the land of the midnight sun is no
job for man in hurry. During his
first year in the Far North he was
favored with only ten days in which
it was possible to carry on his
work. During the forty-two months
of his last stay in the Arctic there
were only about three months of
good weather.
Leffingwell has explained some of
the difficulties in the way of taking
observations in the Arctic.
1.-The observer must hold his breath
or the frost will fog the glass. Much
of the work is done at night, but if
the reading light is held too close
the heat will disturb the level. Care
must be taken not to breathe on
the pivots of the instruments, as
frost there will affect their accuracy.
1t is impossible to lubricate the in
struments. as the oil would freeze.
On this account the instruments
work more or less stiffly. The in
struments must be insulated from
the heat of the body by being wrap

NEW YORK-In these days Of
much talk and little fight, of bi"
purses and moving pictures; when
champions haggle like hucksters
over the short course for purses
rather than defend their titles. one
cannot help wishing once in a while
for the good old times when the
man who paid to see fight was
reckoned as having some rights
which We're entitled to respect and
when a champion was expected to
meet all corners who thought they
had a chance for the title.
don't blame man who has
fought his way to the top for get
ting all there is out of it, but there
certainly should be a rule which
would compel a champion to accept
any bona fide challenge within a
reasonable time or forfeit the title
Maybe the time will come whe,
the promoters and others interested
in boxing will get together and
make rules governing not only thi.
but other phases of the game which
are at odds and ends.
There is no other sport or bust
ness of anywhere near the proper
tions of the prize ring which does
not have competent organization
to make rules and to enforce theii
observance In this and other states
fighting is now on a business basis
If it is to continue to grow, organi
cation, with proper rules rigidly en-
forced and covering all points OF
