Several Interesting Features in

Formal. announcement of number
of important changes in the Studehaker
line has been made from the headquar-
ters OF the Studebaker Corporation.
While the alterations are not OF a
sweeping nature, they embody a num-
ber Of extremely interesting features.
The line for next year will be com
prised Of two chassis types-a -four
at sl,05e and a six at $3.50. Both
cars are fitted with left-hand steer and
center control. Each model carries a
two-rnit electric starting and lighting
device as standard equipment. The
same type of full-fioating axle employed

-four"
In both cars the gasolene supply has
been placed In the dash. permitting an
ideal feed to the motor without air
pressure by means Of grayitation.
Increased efficiency has been through
out the keynote of the chassis design.
To get the maximum of service out of
each gallon Of gasolene has been the
obvious endeavor of the Studebaker
engineers.

OF the Moline Automobile Company. 1T

1t has been demonstrated in public tests
as well as by every day usage that the
motor car Is utility vehicle as well as
one for pleasure.
"A utility motor car is not always the
so-called commercial vehicle nor the
familiar motor truck. Any motor car.

touring, or limousine body, SO long as
its owner uses it for business purposes
in any manner, is a utility vehicle and
represents an economic saving.
IF the banker uses his car to quick
ly carry him to his office then that
car is making money for him. 1t is
saving his time and time is money. This
not only applies to the banker, but to
the merchant, doctor. farmer, real es-
tate dealer, or to any owner who uses
his car in any way that is not strictly
for pleasure.
1T is this phase of the industry that
has made it leap with unprecedented
rapidity-that has caused all manufac-
turing records to be smashed and
created an industry that its like has

attention has been given to improved
