is MUCH CHEAPER.
Tires Also Cut In Price. Making Old
Maintenance Figures Out of Date

That sales conditions in the auto
mobile field have tcen widely affect
I'd by the recent cuts in the price Of
Sasolinc. oil, tires and other supplies
Is the declaration of Vice President
4. r. Benson Of Tie Studebaker Cor
pnration. who says that many recent
,Studcbakcr buyers are persons who
have heretofore remained out of the
market. due to their former belief
that maintenance expense was great
er than they could afford.
81 had this increased efficiency
brought home 10 me quite fOrcibiy by
a personal friend" said Mr.. Benson.
This man owned heavy. costly Gu,
last year. He decided that the cost
of maintenance was too high, and
changed last winter to a Studebaker
light Six
"0f course. the change resulted in
c greatly increased mileage for each
gallon Of fuel. This saving was rem
dercd all the more emphatic by the
fact that he is now paying twelve
cents per gallon Tor gasoline, instead
OF twcnty-this due to the general
lowering of price which has featured
the gasoline bust less all over the
country.
Though he has not yet bought
any new tires, and expects to get
much more than the guaranteed
mileage out of his present set. he
knows that, when the occasion arises,
he can secure tires for His Studchaker
Six at less than half the cost of
those he bought for his last years
car.
az satisfactory grade of lubricat-
ing oil can be bought for twenty-five
per cent. less than he paid year ago,
and goes infinitely further in sup
plying the needs of his car.
"And a feature of which he is not
yet aware is the lowered cost of win
ter overlauling, adjustment and pos
siblc installation Of repairs.
ellis Studcbakcr Six is so design
cd that the owner himself, II he
chooses, can take down any unit
needing adjustment. II he has the
work done at garage, this merit is
just as strong, as the amount of labor
involved is comparatively small. uc-
livery is prompt, and the bill is ac-
cordingly reasonable.
THE prospective motorist who
may haychad acquaintance with a
Garage mans delight will be
amazed at the efficiency and econom-
zeal record of car of the Studebaker
light Six class. We hear examples
of this sort every day."

and Chinese labor and he saw no
reason why this system could not
work equally we'll between American
workmen and their employers.

against my wiii." Mr.. Gillen said,
but realize that only by organiza-

their standards. We employers are
likely not to do things for the bet

forced to. and organization at once
speaking only those workers who
have organized have been successful,
In most cases, in obtaining advances
In wages and conditions for them

Mr.. Gillen started work as farm
laborer 80 years ago, but he said that
he did not believe the chances Of a
worker advancing today were as good
as they were then, owing to the ad-
vance in the price Of land and the
increased cost of living. ]. B. Dale,
