Che Studebaker SIX

Two years ago when the Studebake: light SIX was
hrst offered at $3.50 it created sensation The
world did not think that six-cylinder car Of quality
could be produced at this price: Il did not consider
the resources Of Studebakcr.
This car has not only made good, but it has done two
| very important things besides.
In the frs, place. il has practically put the heavy four
J. cylinder car out OF business.
In the second place. il has volutionizcd the price OF
six-cylinder cars.
Other manufacturers have found il necessary TO COM
pete but they haven't the resources OF Studebaker
10 give you the same quality at the same price
Remember that Studcbaker manufactures its six-eyln-
=. der car. 1t does no, buy the parts from various
manufactured Il doe. not have TO pay the profits
on these parts to other manufacturers 1t does not
have 10 take chances whether they are good part;
or not Studebaker makes them and they are all
uniformly excellent. .
If you have made up your mind TO buy light SIX
why not buy the original light SlN,-thc car that
made the light six poPuar-the car that has every
advantage and every reason 10 DC the best ght olA
car in the world for the moncy-or al any money.
