"SIX" AND -FOUR" TO
RETAIN PRE-EMINENCE
BY ARTHUR |. PHILIP.
(Sales Manager, The Studebaker Cor
noraflnnA


poratlon.)
There was a time when the mention
OF six cylinders conveyed 10 the ou-
tomobile buyer a mental image oil
great size, tremendous weight, the
employment of d regular chauffeur, bic
maintenance charges and first cost
ranging from $4,000 TO $4,000.
Six cylinders were then natural
accompaniment of wealth. Men oil
moderate means could appreciate then
from distance only.
But that time Is past. For more
than a year, Smdebaker has been
building n thoroughly reliable ana
fully equipp>i light six" which has
been retailisg by thousands, all over
the world, al a sale sprice Of s1,575,

baker is the lowest priced six" on
tine market, there has been a general
downward trend In all six" prices
These concessions and the resulting
six" popularity have caused a mum
Der OF manufacturers to eliminate
the production OF four-cylmder cars
altogether, centralizing on the type
best fitted for use In seven.passen-
ger car where a large surplus OF power
Is demanded.
To sell cars cheaply, manufacturers
must produce both "Fours" and
Skies" in great quantities. or this
fact the public has become fully aware
One Of the marked trends Of the mar
ket during the last year has been
this increased wisdom regarding man
ufacturers-their scope, peTmanence
and financial stability. These elements
too play an active part In nearly every
sale.

INDIANAPOLIS BOY HAS
FORMIDABLE X. o. RECORD
Has AZ Sleepers Out of a Stu

in Six Years
BY RALPH L. YoNKER

IL Jack Dillon slips over the knock

That Dillon has a punch that VIII

knockouts for Dillon. He won So,
drew in 10, and lost two. One

For some reason or other Freddie
Hicks is very unpopular boxer In

REDISCOUNT RATES
 FOR BOSTON CHANGED

Washington, November 2O.--The fed eral reserve board tonight announced that the rediscount rate for tho Boston reserve bank on 3o-day paper had been changed from per cent to 51a per cent. putting the bank on the same footing as those in New York and Philadelphia.
 The change was taken here to mean that money is easier in New England and that practically all tho first install ment of the reserve of the Boston bank now are fin It's vaults. Several other reserve banks suggested @ change in their rates but no action has been taken regarding them.
 In order to settle as quickly as pos sible the question of entrance of state banks into the4federal reserve system the board today decided to appoint a special committee to draw up entrance regulations. The principal point to be settled is that of loans on real estate Most state banks have authority to make such loans while national banks do not. A limitation probably will be imposed on this power.
