WHOLE ORGANIZATION
LIVES Up TO SLOGAN
UNEXPECTED APPLICATION OF
CATCH PHRASE KNOWN TO
ALL MOTORISTS.
BY Il. r.. BENSON.

Readers of advertising the world
over are thoroughly familiar with
many OF the Snort, pithy phrases
which one comes to associate with
various commodities. Most OF us can
name offhand at least a dozen OF the
best known. As a rule they care
something more than well-worded
sentiments in praise of goods. Some
times one Of them IL almost photo
graphic : in its production of the
moving sentiment OF an entire manu-
featuring and sales organizations.
This convincing sort OF slogan IL. in
fact, the one that the reader bears
longest in mind.
AS often as not these slogans are
the result of accident Some dealer
or some customer by one of those
happy turns of speech, voices his be-
lief in a product. The wise sales
man hears of 1t. recognizes its value.
and the phrase becomes known all
over the world.
For some time. our advertising has
featured the phrase, Buy 1t because
it's a Studebaker." Often am ask
ed where this sentiment was tirst
phrased in its adopted form. And
always am forced to admit that We
don't know. One Of our dealers In
sists that 1t was first heard in his
salesroom from the lips OF q 6tude-
baker owner who had escorted .

baker service and know that It is
prompt and efficient.
OF course, these sentiments had
animated our organization long be-
fore the Studebaker slogan was ever
set up in cold type. Were this not
true, the slogan would never have
been born. Its summary. however.
into six crisp. expressive words has
crystalized all this sentiment and
made 1t an expression of creed for
the whole Studebaker organization.
and a promise which binds us all to
It's fulfillment.
With our plan of advertising, sales
and manufacture all based on the
Studebaker slogan, there is one ami
mating purpose for the whole Stude-
baker organizatt0n---a purpose which
permeates all its departments of &C
ttvtty and makes harmony an auto
matte adjunct.
Our slogan Buy 1t because It's a
Studebaker," may have been first ex-
plotted as a sales help. IT has proven
even more valuable, however, as an
expression of the spirit of our or
ganization. So long as we continue
to live up to this sentiment. we know
we can Justly feel assured Of contln-
ued and sustained business success.

"On or about the first of this month I am more than sorry that I took the life of Harrell in some uncaused trance that came upon me while sitting down.
 He was shot twice and after the first shot he called me a and said kill me" And then I fired the second shot, but what for, God only knows. I took his watch and ring and pawned his ring at a pawnshop in Bisbee. l left Bis bee on the eighth of this month for Fl Paso, and there also pawned his watch. That is all l have to say. and God knows I am no murderer as I had no in = tention to take anyone's life when we two went out hunting.
