When you first see the Studebaker
4SIXT-when you ride in it-when
yon enjoy the comfort of the deep,
soft, luxurious cushions-yOu begin
to wonder how so splendid a a can
be built for so low a price.
When you sense the steady, silent,
continuous pull of the mOtOr-the
RESERVE surplus Of power evident
in sudden a-cceleratiOn or IN the IN
labored speed with which it takes
long, winding grades, you wonder if
a better engine car be had in a car
at any price.
Then you stand off and view the
long, sweeping lines of the body, the
shining finish, the completeness Of
appointment, the elegance and sym
metry of the entire car, you wonder
how it is possible to build a a like
this at so much lower price than other
manufactors charge for their cars.
Is. it too good to be true? Then the
answer flashes on your mind: This
car, this Studebaker "SIX" is the
best work Of n of the greatest fac
tories in the world. 1t is the culmi-
nation Of sixty-two years experience
in building high grade products. 1t IS
the masterpiece Of an engineering

TESSIE AND THE BOOK.
By FLORENCE E. YoDER.

OF all Of the many story books
which drifted into Tabbyland, the
ones which were full of pictures OF
cats and other creatures were, of
course the most popular. The Tab
bies had a book thought BY one and
all to be the most interesting in
Tabbyland, for it bore pictures and
told the story Of Granny Graz, an
old lady cat.
Her picture was to plainly seen
on many of the pages Almost
every one Of Mrs. Tabbys kitty chill
dren began to look at that book be-
fore they could read. and after they
were taught to read it was the first
thing that they picked up. Now as
has been told in some other story
"A long time ago. Mrs. Tabby's chill
dren were so near of an age that
there was not much use trying to
