L-Head Motor

Studebaker engineers are sound in Their reasons
for building motors of the L-Head type. Of all man.
ufacturers I'll per cent use that type exclusively,
because that type is what the public wants. If the
demand were for valve-in-the-head 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 conclusive
ly that Studebaker is building what the public wants
L-Head .................. Ill per cent
Valve in Head ............ 1913 per cent
T-Head ....12.2 per cent
Sleeve Valve ............... IA per cent

Seating Capacity

Of the 100 Models of all classes of Fours, Skies
and Fights selling for less than $1,000, the Stude-
baker FOUR is the only car which seats seven peo-
pie. Not a car in the world combines the roominess
and comfort 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 a seven-passenger
capacity.
There is still another angle to this price and seat
ing capacity argument. Let us look further. Prac-
tcally every seven-passenger model is much higher
priced than the Studebaker. The average price of
all seven-passenger, four-cylnder models is $273S,
The average price of all seven-passenger Skies,
Fights and Twelves is $1,000, three and seven-tenths
times the price or a Studebaker SIX.

Price

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
and shows that the standard car would sell for ST.
GOO. This is just $515-47 per cent higher than the
cost of a Series II StudebakerS SIX. 1t is $315-a-
most IS per cent above the average. cost of the eight
baker car knows the benefit Of from $500 to $500
saving.
But we cannot stop there. Price is just the be-
ginning of GREATEST VALUE" for you. will see
in the following analysis that a Studebaker owner
does not get from $500 to 500 less value. b cold,
hard figures he gets greater value, point by point,
than he would, not only in the average of all cars,
but also in the average of all cars of the same and
higher price classes.
Every important feature of Studebaker %construc-
ton is used either by the largest number of makers
an endorsement in itself-or by those makers
whose cars sell for a much higher price than Stude-
baker, still higher endorsement.

Cylinders En- Bloc

Studebaker was the first manufacturer to cast
successfully six cylinder motors in one block. AID.
vanced ideas in engineering and factory practice put
Studebaker in the lead. Today 1876 per cent of all
manufacturers are following Studebaker's example

Power

The public wants power in an automobile. That
is the basis on which most cars are sold. Almost
to believers and skeptics alike the superiority Of the
Studebaker Series II in this respect, until it is now
IN accepted fact. To clinch the argument, here are
the figures:
The average price of all of the los Six, Eight and
Twelve cylinder cars manufactured is $1917, yet the
the average of these los cars in power. Of the few
Of these los cars which equal or exceed the rating of
theStudebaker SIX in power, the average price is
$1,000, almost three times as much as the Studebak-
q 4 Why the additional $500?
The average price of all Of the 70 four-cylinder
cars is $1278, yet the Studebaker FOUR at 1915 is
7.8 per cent ahead of the average Of all Of them in
The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1916-09-21
Rear Axle

.Studebaker has from the beginning led the field in
the simplicity, safety, ~lghtness, and efficiency of
rear axel design. and IN pursuance Ct this policy has
adhered strictly to the full-f1oating rear axel. Un1
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-foating ..:..:..... 51.1 per cent

power. Out of the few of these 70 four-cylinder
cars which exceed the horsepower rating of the
Studebaker FOUR, the average price is $2O22.
Again nearly three times the price of the Studebak-
er car, Why the additional $1147?
There you have the actual proof of the superiority
Of StudebakerP Power cars over the average of all
others cars.
We now come to the PROOF that not only in
POWER, but in EVERY important feature Of con-
s%truction, regardless of cost, Studebaker uses de-
sign recognized by the majority as the BEST.
Below we show point by point, where the analysis,
made by the motor car journals, prove that every

You can find a 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 industry in
taking the public into it's 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
mand has dictated the. prevailing types in motor.
cars just as it has prevailing types in other things,
but in motor cars, more than anything else, the de-
mand is based on logical reasoning and good judg-
ment, 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 engineering profession, stands as
the guide for Studebaker, and it has always been q
Studebaker policy to continually improve it's pro-
duct. and to merit the confidence and endorsement Of
the public.

Gasoline Feed System

In keeping with the demand for a better stream
line design, horizontal body lines, greater gasoline
capacity, and to insure a positive and even flow of
gasoline to the carburetor, IS per cent of automobile
manufacturers have adopted vacuum gasoline feed.
The division is as follows:
Vacuum Feed ..........5 $50 per cent
Gravity Feed .......... 34.4 per cent
Pressure Feed .........1 O.6 per cent
The average price of all Fours using vacuum feed
system is $1570; of all Skies using it, the average
price is $1628; yet we find it in the Studebaker at
much less money.

Thinker Bearings

Thinker bearings are the most efficient, but they
are also the most expensive. Most manufacturers
hesitate to equip their product completely with Tim
ken bearings because of the cost, but Studebaker
a moment. Studebaker is on of only four manu-
~facturers to offer full Timken equipment, and the
average price of the other manufacturers cars is
$4,000.

Timing Gears

Smooth, quiet, positive running timing gears are
essential to the satisfaction of all car owners. Ex-
perience has shown that helical gears are the type
best suited to accomplish 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. 700 per cent.
Silent Chain Drive ............ 100 per cent
Spur gears .14.O per cent
