TRIAL RUNS

Three Routes for Those

Fairs

In the middle OF the last century.
1t was no unusual thing to meet a
numbering prairie schooner westward
bound with the startling information
painted on the canvas cover that
the owner was going to reach
pixies Peak or bust This year
there is another and far different
westward trek. Were there to be a
paraphase OF the old words of hope,
II would be THE Pacific coast and
back" on gay pennants decorating
thousands OF automobiles. Trails
to the setting sun are to be crowd
ed with the machines OF countless
vacationists who make the Panama
expositions their objective points.

phrase coined with all the confidence
In the world. The science OF trans
portation has been mastered and to-
day there Is no fear of busting"
I'm the case of owners of Stude-
baker automobiles, the assurance Is

tent with turning out the best ma

can produce, the thousands Of Stude-
baker cars employed in the peaceful
invasion OF the Pacific slope will
find along their western way liter
ally hundreds OF Studebaker service
stations for their accommodation.
when an owner needs an adjust
ment made, he always prefers to
have a man familiar with his car do
the work. He even likes to buy his
oil and gasoline from dealer who
is agent for his automobile They
have something In common TO talk
about. and the dealer has profes-
sional interest in seeing that each
man who drives the car he sells is
satisfied. With a nationwide dis
tribution of about $4,000 automo-

The continuous hardships endured
by the prairie-schooner trail-makers

himself with the route and at each
