The newspaper advertisements
We are running In April are merely
what the Studeoaker dealer says TO
customers when they come in singly
TO the Studebaker showroom. BY
putting the dealers answers In the
form. of newspaper announcements
We aim 10 reach thousands IN the
same time that the dealer can talk
20 one or two or three. The educa-
t!onal advertising we have already
used has shown that the man who
plans to buy car not only reads II
and studies over Il. but he lays II
aside and comes back TO II. There
is no chance for him to misunder-
stand, because he can study over
the mechanical problem mastered
by Studebaker engineers until he
has the proper appreciation OF the
difficulties that have been solved in
making a car that win give him
thorough satisfaction. The adyer-
tisements are illustrated to make
them easier TO understand.
In these mechanical advertise
ments we have comprehensive
guide to the machine. With their
drawings they give the owner an
understanding OF the details OF con-
struction and operation. So. In this
fashion we show the economical
Studebaker motor with the carbure-
tor placed high to shorten the dis
lance the gas travels 10, TBS oslin
GERS, with the simple. extremely ,ae
cessibie electric generator. and the
noiseless self-starter. Then, too.
we show how every detail of the
chassis r. In easy reach. how II IL
balanced by an even distribution
OF weight. and how the line OF drive
loses no power through transmission
at an angle. since II Is as straight
as a shot from the motor back 10
the rear axle.
One can appreciate the simplicity
OF the Studebaker when one consid-
ers that the very vitals Of the car
can be so readily understood
through such a series OF newspa-
per advertisements. :.
