Cobb was at bat three times against
Faber today. On his last trip to the

Arrived In Perfect Running
Condition

AOtutttOb
At Kansas City the clouds lifted, tho
sun shone and the rest of the run to St.
Louis was made without incident.
Despite its all but unsurmountable diff
culties the Studebaker car arrived in St.
Louis only ga hours behind schedule in
perfect running condition and having only
changed one tire during the entire trip.
So well had it come through its terrible
experience that the car was driven on to
Detroit to the Studebaker factories with
out any overhauling whatsoever.
This performance is further proof Of
the remarkable durability of Studebaker
cars-a durability that is due to ono
thing only-the mechanical perfection
of this splendid automobile.
Any car that will come through test
like this in perfect running condition
any car that will perform as this one Cid
is worth your serious consideration YOU
owe it to yourself to get Studebaker
demonstration before you buy any car.

Over the Rockies in a Blizzard

Leaving Salt Lake City they started
for Evanston, Wyoming, travelling the
latter half of the distance through one
of the hardest transforms imaginable
the road was washed out and the car had
to find its own way over rocks and along
lodges that seemed impossible.
Starting from Evanston for Fort
Bridger they ran into blizzard, which
at lower levels turned into rain.
The road was veritable canal.
At one point they only made nine
miles in FIVE hours (the picture above
shows why).
