THINGS YOU FORGET

The Studebaker Series 49, car is
an evolution and perfected piece of
mechanism. That is why you can
FORGET many little things about
Studebaker that you have TO RE-
MEMBER and care for on other
cars not so highly developed.
For instance: the cooling system
of the Studebaker car will work in
any climate. at any temperature,
providing you keep water in the
radiator.
The fabrication system of Stu
debaker car will work unfailingly
in absolutely all conditions, if you
will remember to put oil in the
crank case occasionally.
The electric lights, and the cleo
tric starter will never fail you if a
little distilled water is put in the
battery from time to time.
You will not have to paint your
body frequently to keep it looking

work is the sum of years of expert
ence.
You won't have to renew the
leather on your cushions, because
experience has taught Studebaker
how to select and buy the highest
quality of leather.
You won't need to worry about
making grade with Studebaker
car, because the Studebaker motor
has been perfected into the most
powerful motor in the world in
ratio to gasoline consumption.
You won't have to continually
worry about fabrication, about oil

every part is equipped with ample
