Economy and Investment

In ratio to power, they are most economical in
their consumption of gasoline.
In ratio to weight and carrying capacity, the
perfect balance of the Studebaker Cars enables

miles on a single set of tires.
Studebaker Cars are very economical to main
tain. Their perfect quality insureS durability
and keeps the cost of adjustments and repairs at
a minimum
Then, too Studebaker Cars are distinctly the
Owners Cars Their great accessibility, their
simplicity of design and construction, and the
very complete instruction books that 90 with
Studebaker Cars make them very easy, indeed

standard of value and quality. 1t is generally
recognized as one of the best motor values in

The high used car value of Studebaker Cars in
