1t is very true saying that reputation is
what people think you are character what you
really are.
You can buy reputation.
Character is the product of years.
Studebaker, character has been two full
generations in the building
Sixty-two years of strict adherence to an
ideal sxty-two years of good manufacturing
and square dealing have been woven into it.
And Studebaker character is recognized and
believed in wherever motor cars are found.
Studebaker motor cars are the embodiment
of Studebaker character.
Every ounce of material that goes into
them, every process of manufacture, every de-
tail of workmanship is the expression of Stude-
baker ideals
The steel'that is made to special Studebaker
formulas, tested and analysed by Studebaker
experts, heat treated in Studebaker furnaces is
the best steel that can be produced.
Not simply good enough" but the best
that skill and money can produce.
AS result Studebaker cars are light and
strong.
You never hear of a broken front axle,
stripped gear or twisted driving shaft on
Studebaker car.

The One Big Argument in Favor of a
Studebaker Car is that it is Stude-
baker Car.

The Studebaker factor of safety is a con-
slant tangible protection to every Studebaker
owner.
Studebaker cars are built complete in Stude-
baker factories
The engine, the transmission, the front and
rear axles, the body, the top-every essential
part is built in Studebaker plants under the di-
rect supervision of the men who design Stude-
baker cars.
Every part of Studebaker car is made to
harmonic with and supplement every other
part-hence there is simplicity and smooth
ness in the operation of Studebaker cars that
would not be possible if Studebaker simply
bought parts from other makers and put them
together. Also there is the important saving
of parts makers profits.
Studebaker cars are not built to sell at
low price.
They are the embodiment of the Stude-
baker Standard of quality
They sell at a low price because complete
manufacturing and quantity production result
in economies that make low prices possible in
spite of the quality and care and integrity that
are built into Studebaker cars.

Beautiful FLAG Flower.

Among the stateliest and proudest OF

lily none excels the larger blue flag,
which also wears the names OF blue
iris and feur-de-lis. Ruskin calls 1t
the flower of chivalry, which has q
sword for its leaf and a lily for its
heart Longfellow pronounces 1t "a
flower born in the purple, to Joy and
pleasance." 1t blooms in the wet, rich
marsh and meadow from May to July
ond finds its home from Newfound-
land and Manitoba to Florida and Ar
kansas. The flag flower must look to
the insect world entirely for its propa-
cation, particularly to the bees as Its
pollen carriers. So it puts forth a
flower that is blue tinted, for its ex-
perience has taught it that a bee can
be wooed with blue better than with
any other color.-Pittsburgh Press.

A Pretty Hot Story.

popular favorite in London over eighty
years ago, claimed to be able to swal-
low arsenic and other poisons with i'm
punity. Visitors to his entertainment
were requested to come provided with
phosphorus, arsenic and oxalic acid,
which he proceeded to consume before
their eyes, taking an antidote after
ward which was supposed to neutralize
their effects. Then, to show that he
was as impervious to heat as to poison,
he would take a raw leg Of lamb into
an oven heated to 300 degrees and re-
main inside until the joint was cooked,
when it was carved and handed around
to the audience. The performance
concluded by Chabert rubbing a red
hot shovel on his head and face and
allowing any one who wished to drop
molten sealing wax on his tongue and
hands-London Mail

A Princes Chilly Din.

Prince Henry Of Prussia is an ar

he is known among the bluejackets as
q great martinez. The following story
Is typical of his methods, and shows
that although he expects those under
his command to put up with all kinds
Of hardships, he is by no means above
'roughing it, himself.
One day, when he was on board a
warship in the North sea, he suddenly
gave the order, "All hands to bathe!"
1t was a bitterly cold day and the
water was like ice. The order was
SO evidently distasteful that one Of
the officers ventured to make q mild
protest to the prince. Without an
swering him a single word, Prince
Henry. although fully clothed, sprang
over the vessels side, swan out good
distance in the icy water and returned
to the deck dripping from head to foot
After that the sailors took their bath
