1t has come to a pretty pass when
two men cannot settle dispute over a
bet without coming to blows. Con.
siderable loud and abusive language
was also INDUCED in, but somehow the
city authorities have failed to take any
notice of the incident. Seems as though
we heard of another party uttering an
oath ON the street something over
year ago and the mayor of the town
bled him for an amount in the neigh
borhood of $75. 1t seems to make some
difference as to does the swearing in

all things by telling us of the
old man sitting quietly in his
study whose winking eyelids
affect the movements of a dis
tant star. The sons of Stude-
baker early learned this lesson.
They first learned the JOY of
service in their own home, and
then they practiced the lesson
in the greater world. In their
boyhood days they once drove
fifty miles to an adjoining
county to work as farm hands.
The eldest received eighty
cents per day, the next oldest
fifty cents, while the young
est received twenty-five cents.
With savings reaching sixty
dollars they returned home
and turned their SWeat-earned
wealth over to their father.
With this impreSSioniStic

kind and this earth serve as a
pattern for the paradise of an
other life, instead of being
a pandemOnium."
But why, you may ask, is
all this introduced here before
entering into the details of the
life story of The House of Stu
debakeT?
Because, if an answer you
must have, the training given
his children by that good old
Gettysburg blacksmith fitted
them to take their place in the
world as builders of wagons,
trucks, buggies, vehicles of all
kinds, as well as automobiles

So we find him, in 1885,
leaving his old home with his
wife and six children, among
which we find three sons,
named Clement, Henry and
John Mohler, the first of
which was destined to win in
ternational fame. He purchaS-
ed a tract of one hundred and
sixty acres five miles east of
Ashland, Ohio. Here another
shop was erected, and here, as
in Gettysburg, the village
blacksmith won his way for
ward by the excellence of his
service. His name became a
synonym for honest, conScien-
tiOuS work. Here also appear
ed two other sons, Peter E.
and Jacob F.-thuS giving us
the five sons whose names to-
day are immOrtalized in The
House of Studebaker.

With these steady and Stur-
dy men we must not linger.
Moving along just a wee bit
we find John Studebaker, the
son of Peter Studebaker, Jr.,
plying his fathers trade just a
few miles east of Gettysburg.
Here we stop our mad flight
because we have discovered
what may be called The Master

WOrld-knOWn business that has
proven itself one of the great
