Just how thoroughly motorized

Myers, sales manager OF the Com

baker corporation. And never has
there been such a splendid opportu-
nifty to prove the value Of the motor
car as applied to the business activity
OF the nation.
Under normal conditions. the great
buying activity OF the holiday season
has taxed the delivery systems OF our
merchants TO the point Of utter de-
morallzation- Handling crowded stores
and supplying eager gift seekers with
the merchandise OF their wanting has
always been less difficult to manage
successfully than the delivery OF nur-
chases to customers when promised
And, because Il Is only human nature
TO procraSrlnate. the Christmas rush
usually finds the merchant hard put

Contrary 10 q natural belief at this
time. war conditions have only served

merchants transportation facilities
The nationwide plea for war time
economy has served to stimulate rath-
er than diminish buying. Gifts to rela-
lives and friends this yuletide will be
useful and practical, and probably no

present one in the volume Of business
done by the merchants Of the coun-

Scores of department stores and 4
small shops IN almost every city OF /
the country are using StUdebaker /
Pandel delivery cars TO facilitate the I
work Of Christmas deliveries. Some of 1
them have one or two Studebakers-i
others have standardized their equip I

Srudebaker cars During the last
three weeks Of unprecedented holiday /
rush these cars have stayed "On the /

Riding on over sized pneumatic

are a fleet on the road as a touring

never get tired on the job-their ca
