Studebaker maintains what are probably the
most complete laboratories in the automobile

of materials used in Studebaker cars.
Studebaker workmanship is experienced, pains

Studebaker inspections are rigid and exacting in

All this means QUALITY.
Studebaker is one of the largest manufacturers

Studebaker gives you the benefits Of all economies

This means ECONOMY.
Furthermore, Studebaker has concentrated on
the development Of single basic chassis design.
The entire attention of Studebaker's highly eff
cient engineering department has been focused
on the perfection of this one model.
Studebaker's great volume is centered on COM
paratively few parts.
This means still higher quality and still greater
economy.
These are the reasons why Studedaker is able to
