MOTORING COST
IS COMING DOWN
Lightness of New Cars and Low
cred Price of Supplies Are
the Causes

That sales conditions in the auto
mobile field have been widely affected
by the recent cuts I'm the price OF
gasoline, oil. tires and other supplies
is the declaration OF Vice-President
h. II. Benson, OF The StHdebaker Cor
roration. who says that many recent
Studetaker 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
IL had this increased efficiency
brought home TO me quite forcibly by
personal friend" said Mr.. Benson.
This man owned heavy. costly car
last year. He decided that the cost
OF maintenance WAS too high. and
changed last winter 10 Sudebaker
light Six
OF course, the change resulted in
greatly increased mileage for each
gallon OF fuel This saving was rem
dCrec all the more emphatic by the
fact that he is now paying twelve
cents per gallon for gasoline, instead
OF twenty-this due TO the general
lowering OF price which has featured
the gasoline business all over the
country
Though he has not yet bought any
new tres, and expects TO get much
more than the guaranteed mileage out
OF his present set, he knows that,
WREN the occasion arises, he can Sc
cure tires for his Studebaker Six at
less than half the cost OF those he
bought for his last years car,
"A satisfactory grade OF lubricating
oil can be bought for % per cent less
than he paid a year ago. and goes
Infinitely further In supplying the
needs OF his car
And feature of which he is not
yet aware is the lowered cost OF win
ter CyerhGuling idjustment and pos.
sible installation OF repairs.
His Studebaker Six is so design.
ed that the owner himself if he
chooses, can take down any unit need
ing adjustment. III he has the work
dcne at a garage, this merit is lust as
strong, as the amount OF labor in
viewed is comparatively small, de-
livery Is prompt, and the bill is &C.
cordingly reasonable
Tie prospective motorist who may
have had acquaintance with a Garage
mans delight will be amazed at the
efficiency and economical record OF a
car OF the Studebaker light Six class.
We near examples of this sort every
day"
