Studebaker Makes
Efficiency Record

Where 1000 men produced $4,000
cars in 1913, today 1000 men are pro
duclng at the rate of 100000 cars an
nually.
Such is the record in efficiency that
has been obtained in the Studebaker
factories. Between 1918 and the pres
ent date, as experts visiting the plants
have observed, a veritable transfor-
nation has taken place.
One of the wonders of the automo-
bile industry has been the advent of
large production, which brought with
it the advantages of quantity pur-
chasing at lower prices, and made ad-
visable the introduction of machines
that were expensive in first cost, but
more than paid for themselves within
year IN the savings they effected.
Quantity production such as the
Studebaker corporation EMPLOYS not
only permits of lower prices, but also
better values. The overhead is cut
down, due to the fact that it is dis
trlbuted over great number of cars.
The overhead on the cost of building
the present Studebaker models has
been reduced to a low figure, being
50 per cent OF what it was three
years ago.

Cole Company on
Market With ALL
Year Round Model

The Cole Motor Car company has
announced an all-year-round type Of
eight-cylinder car that bids fair to
revolutionizc the building of medium
priced motor vehicles The Cole
Springfield body is designed to give
the owner all the advantages of both
a luxurious touring car and a costly
limousine in one car, which sells for
$2,l95. This car, which is a seven-pas-
senger automobile is called the Cole
Springfield Toursedan.
There are two other Cole models
equipped with the new Cole Spring
field body One is known as the Tour
coupe, selling for $2,l95, and the other
is the Cole Towncar, listed at $2,495.
The Cole Springfield Eight is
merely another step in the manufac-
ture OF automobiles to satisfy the buy
ing public and give motor car pur-
chasers the greatest possible value for
their money" said A. F. Knoblock,
general manager. 1--WE have added it
to the Cole line, because it completely
fills want long left by the motoring
public for a really practical and SEN
sible, all-weather, all-purpose car.
Besides its weather advantages,
one OF its most important features lies
in the fact that there is absolutely
nothing about the body to warp, rat
tie or squeak, and it has none Of those
annoying faults so often found in the
so-called detachable tops or the
bothersome, tapping side curtains.
The top of this car is permanent and
it adds most striking, graceful And
beautiful appearance to the car.
For rain or snow or extreme cold,
the Cole-Springheld body is ideal. For
hot, stuffy days when relief can only
be found in driving through the open
air, this car, open at all sides, is un-
surpassed for comfort. It's the car
which was used so attractively in the
winter time"

Yellowstone Tour
Marks Birth of New
Scenic Auto Route

Plotted by the Chalmers six-S0,
which blazed the Twin-Cities to Vel
iowstone route two months ago.
eighty.five tourists in twenty-seven
cars checked i'll at Gardiner on the
evening OF August | and enrolled as
enthusiastic boosters OF the National
Park highway.
Most remarkable among the
features of the four was the fact that
many of the roads encountered had
been laid down almost over night,
When the Chalmers Pathfinder blazed
the trail i'll May, detours for wash
outs were matter of course. Yet
SIX weeks later the big tour went
through on schedule over 1900 miles
2t road closely akin to boulevards. The
Chalmers slx-5O, which piloted the
TOUR and the entire distance averaged
over twenty-three miles an hour for
the trip, although no attempt was
made to register unusual speed.

MONOPOLY
CHARGED TO LEHIGH
Government Files Petition for Dissolu-

The Federal government yesterday filed
brief in the Supreme Court against
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company,
the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, the
Lehigh Valley Coal Sales Company, and
others, charging them with giving re-
bates and illegal preferences, manipula-
ton of freight rates, imposing extortion-
ate carrying charges on independent
shippers and employing many other
in violation of the Federal antitrust
laws.
The brief parallels one filed yesterday
against the alleged Reading combina-
ton.

through subsidiaries, has monopolized
anthracite production. transportation and
sale in its territory, through the acquisi-
tion of more than $1,000 acres Of coal
land. the absorption of competing com

coal sales company, it is alleged. re-

persons in no way connected with 1t and
to break up the interlocking directorates
of the alleged combination. 1t also asks
that the court declare the Lehigh Valley
