LARGEST BUSINESS EVER
 AT NORWICH PoSToFFicE.
6,s50 Pieces of Mail Delivered Christ mas Morning by Parcel Post Car riers.

The business at the local postoff1ce this year exceeded that of any previ- ous Christmas. Starting last Thurs day, the daily mails kept increasing, both the outgoing and the incoming, and on Christmas day morning there were 6,850 pieces of mail delivered on the first trip of the six parcel post teams which Postmaster Murphy en- listed in the service. By g o'clock in the morning the office was cleaned up of all mail that could be possibly de- livered, and in the afternoon all mail received by the time set for the sec- ond delivery was sent out. After the mail was all out the office looked like @ deserved village in comparison with what it has been during the past few days.
 Postmaster Murphy expressed his thanks and appreciation to all the em- ployes for their personal interest and efficiency in making such a good rec crd in handling the mail. He also ex- tended thanks to Hon. John M. Thayer for the use of the store in the Thayer building where the sub-station was located.
 In addition to the 21 regular city carriers, there were five sub carriers employed during the past ten days also two sub clerks. In receiving the mail at both the main office and the sub-station in the Thayer building prompt service was rendered, and only on a few occasions were there over eight in line waiting their turn. For three days at the main office there were men at two windows receiving mail and selling stamps.
 George P. Madden, igarNmanufac- turer, remembered the postoffice em- paoyes with a contribution of cigars

TRYING TO LOCATE FAMILY.
Midland, Tex, Man Seeking Relatives
 of R. E. Hamilton.

In a letter written to The Bulletin by J. w. aHmpton of Midland, ex.- who is trying to locate the family or F. D. Hamilton, who died from an at tack of heart disease, he indicates that MT. Hamilton was a former resident of Norwich. The letter mentioned above follows:
 I am today sending you a copy of our town paper with marked funeral notice, which please copy in your pa per. We are trying to locate Bob Hamilton's family, and hope to do so by this method. I have written to his sister, Miss Emma Hamilton, and it is several years since we have heard from her.
 The notice that Mr. Hampton men toned appeared in the Midland Re- porter of Midland, Tex, and is as fol- lows:
 A death in Midland, the second of the week, occurred Wednesday morn ing with terrible and terrifying suC- denness. R. B. CBob) Hamilton was the victim, a sufferer of heart disease. The youg man retired about 10 o'clock Tuesday night, seemingly in as good spirits and health as ever in his life. His young wife was not well and some time about o'clock in the morning called him to go to the doctor for her. He dressed and started, became ill, apparently violently nervous. A phy- Sician was hastily summoned, and be- fore his arrival the sufferer was in such wild. agony that three men, J. w. Hampton and his two sons, could hardly hold him on the bed. The phy- sician administered a hypodermic and the sufferer was quieted. He slept and died without again awakening, and within an hour from the time he first complained.
 The young man leaves a sorrowing young wife, a daughter of MT. and MYS r w Hanontnn and with her and others who are grieved The Reporter tenders it's most profound sympathy. Deceased was an industrious young man, painter and decorator of ur.- usual ability, and there are many evi- dences of his handiwork in various homes and public buildings of our city. The funeral took place at the grave at 4.30 in the afternoon Wednesday.

SAYS USE SAGE TO
 PREVENT BADNESS
1t Puts Hair on Your Head and Helps

1t Puts Hair on Your Head and Helps
 to Keep 1t There.
 What's the use of being bald? What sense is there in deliberately allowing your hair to turn gray?
 eThese conditions come mostly from neglect, but the frequent application to the hair and scalp of little of the real Parisian Sage will prevent bald ness and grayness in nearly every in- stance.
 Most people take good care of their teeth, but sadly neglect their hair. They are equally important. Look after your hair. Parisian Sage is a scientific preparation that supplies hair needs-it's just what you want. It prevents grayness and badness by putting life and nourishment into the hair roots..
 Man or woman, no matter how old you are, Parisian Sage will help you to look younger and more attractive. Why not go to Lee & Osgood Co. and get large bottle today? It's in expensive, and your money back if does not cure dandruff, stop falling hair or itching of the scalp. It will make your hair grow luxuriant, bright and beautiful. The genuine Parisian Sage, as sold by good druggists every where, is a, most refreshing, delicately perfumed, and invigorating hair dress ing-free from stickiness-and abso- lutely harmless to the hair and scalp.

CHRISTMAS GREETING BY
 FORMER NORWICH RECTOR
Bishop Thomas T. Davies Message
 on Cover of the Fire Engineer.

On the cover of The Fire Engineer appears Christmas greeting from Rev. Thomas T. Davies of Springfield, Mass, bishop of western Massachu- setts and a former rector at Christ Episcopal church, this city. The greeting follows:
 May I, through you, send my Christmas greetings to all readers of The Fire Engineer.
 The word in all our mouths this past year has been preparedness. Personally, thoroughly believe in it, and it seems to me that all engaged in the field of the fire engineering represent preparedness of an exceed ingly high and valuable type.
 The joyous season of Christmas brings the special commemoration of the coming to this earth of Him who has done more than any other to pre- pare us for strong, wholesome, use- full, abundant life here and hereafter. A word constantly on His holy lips was life. It impresses upon as anew that all the training, all the disci- pline, all the sobriety, all the courage and all the heroism so conspicuously required in the life of fireman, are, after all, just what the Great Captain Of our salvation required in every one of His followers. May peace and good will of Christmas be yours.

Seating Capacity

Of the 100 Models of all classes of Fours,
Skies and Fights selling for less than
$1,000, the Studebaker FOUR is the only
car which seats seven people. Not car in
the world combines the roominess and COM
fort of this Studebaker for less than $1,000.
In fact, there are only three models of all
cars selling for less than $1100 which have
seven-passenger capacity.
There is still another angle to this price
and seating capacity argument. Let us look
further. Practically every seven-passenger
model is much higher priced than the Stude-
baker. The average price of all seven-pas-
senger, four-cylinder models is $2738, three
times the price of the Studebaker FOUR.
The average price of all seven-passenger
Skies, Fights and Twelves is $3e9o three
and seven-tenths times the price of stude-
baker SIX.
Evening star., 1916-09-17
Power

The public wants power in an automobile.
That is the basis on which most cars are
sold. Almost from the beginning Stude-
baker has demonstrated to believers and
skeptics alike the superiority of the Stude-
baker Series II in this respect, until it is now
an accepted fact. To clinch the argument,
here are the figures
The average price of all of the los Six,
Eight and Twelve cylinder cars nanufac-
tured is $le17, yet the Studebaker SIX at
$1085 is 1o9g ahead of the average of these
los cars in power. Of the few of these los
cars which equal or exceed the rating of the
Studebaker SIX in power, the average price
is $4,000, almost three times as much as the
Studebaker SIX Why the additional $500?
The average price of all of the 70 four-cyl-
inder cars is S1278 yet the Studebaker
FOUR at Ss75 is 7.Sa ahead of the average'of
Evening star., 1916-09-17

all of them in power. Out Of the few of these
70 four-cylinder cars which exceed the horse
power rating of the Studebaker FOUR, the
average price is $2022.. Again nearly three
times the price of the Studebaker car. Why
the additional $11472
There you have the actual proof of the
superiority of Studebaker Power cars over
the average of all other cars.
We now come to the PROOF that not
only in POWER, but in EVERY important
feature of construction, regardless of cost,
Studebaker uses design recognized by the
majority as the BEST.
Below we show point by point, where the
analysis, made by the motor car journals,
proves that every important feature of
Studebaker construction has been adopted
by the majority of motor car builders. You
can find description of the various types of
construction if you will refer to the journals
from which this analysis was made, and if
you will write us we will be very glad to give
you publication dates of the journals which
contain this information.
The splendid policy of the automobile in
dustry in taking the public into its confidence
and educating it to an understanding of what
is most efficient in motor car construction,
through the pages of trade journals has been
of great assistance in helping the motor car
buyer to select the right car. Public demand
has dictated the prevailing types in motor
cars just as it has prevailing types in other
things; but in motor cars, more than in any
thing else, the demand is based on logical
reasoning and good judgment, rather than
on mere whim or impression.
The styles in construction which have
proven best in the opinion of the public and
also in the opinion of the automobile engi-
neering profession, stand as the guide for
Studebaker, and it has always been Stude-
baker policy to continually improve its prod
uct and to merit the confidence and endorse
nent of the public.

Ignition

The controversy over the relative merit
of the generator-battery ignition as against
magnetic ignition has been bitterly fought,
but since it was adopted by Studebaker, four
years aga, generator-battery ignition has
been steadily gaining ground in its struggle
for popularity The simplicity, the reliabil-
ity, the durability and the freedom from all
trouble of the generator battery ignition
system have proven that Studebaker was
right in adopting this type Of ignition The
wisdom of the change is becoming more OBJ
vious every day. Of the two types Of igni-
ton the percentages are as follows: ;.
Generator Battery ........564s
Magnetic ...... ...... 1861

Price i

Price IS only one factor in making up the
composite whole of "GREATEST VALUE"
The average price, the standard with which
to compare all automobile prices, is made up
from 439 models of 1917 cars, and shows that
the standard car would sell for $1,000. This
is just 5-7%-higher than the cost of
a Series II Studebaker SIX. It is $315
almost 25s-above the average cost of the
eight Studebaker models. Every purchaser
of the Studebaker car knows the benefit of
from $500 to $500 saving.
But we cannot stop there. Price is just
the beginning of "GREATEST VALUE
for you will see in the following analysis that
a Studebaker owner does not get from $500
to $500 less value. By,cold, hard figures he
gets greater value, point by point, than he
would, not only in the averageof all cars, but
also in the average of all cars of the same and
higher price classes.
Every important feature of Studebaker
construction is used either by the largest
number of n1akers-an endorsement in itself
-or by those makers whose cars sell for
much higher price than Studebaker-a still
higher endorsement.

Rear Axle

Studebaker has from the beginning led the
field in the simplicity, safety, ightness, and
efficiency of rear axle design, and in pursu-
ance of this policy has adhered strictly to the
full-hoating rear axle. One by one other
manufacturers have come into line as public
demand turns more and more strongly in
this direction. The preference is indicated
as follows:
Full-Hoat1ng ........-...51.1E
Three-quarter floating ..~..27.1s
Semi-hoating .....s..-..s~....21.s%

Timing Gears

Smooth, quiet, positive running timing
gears are essential to the satisfaction of all
car owners. Experience has shown that
helieal gears are the type best suited to ac-
cornplish satisfactory results. So-called
silent chains and spur gears are used in some
instances, but Studebaker as usual lines up
with what is generally conceded to be the
best type.
Helical gear driven timing gears. .7o.oS
Silent chain drive !. !. 1862
Spur gears .. 14.Og
Evening star., 1916-09-17
Ti111ken Bearings

Tin1ken bearings are the most efficient, but
they are also the most expensive. Most
manufacturers hesitate to equip their prod
uct completely with Tinken bearings be-
cause of the cost, but Studebaker does not
let this consideration stand in the way for a
moment. Studebaker is one of only four
teen manufacturers to offer full Timken
equipment, and the average price of the other
manufacturers cars is $4,000.
Evening star., 1916-09-17
L-Head Motor

Studebaker engineers are sound in their
reasons for building motors of the L-Head
type Of all manufacturers 71.11 use that
type exclusively, because that type is what
the public wants. If the demand were for
T-head, or sleeve valve
motors, the percentage of these types would
be greater. The accompanying table shows
the trend of the public demand and it proves
conclusively that Studebaker is building
what the public wants.

Gasoline Feed System

In keeping with the demand for better
streamline design, horizontal body lines,
greater gasoline capacity, and to insure
positive and even flow of gasoline to the
carburetor, 55% of automobile manufacturers
have adopted vacuum gasoline feed. The
division is as follows:

The average price of all Fours using va
cuurn feed system is $3.50; of all Skies using
it, the average. price is $1628; yet we find it
in the Studebaker at much less money.
