STUDEBAKER
IS IN GREAT
DEMAND HERE

r. J.. Bauwens is mad. or. TO use his
own words, he's damned sore" With
a wave Of the hand at his empty sales
room, 645 S. Holman ST, he explains
matters. Look at his floor. Not even
a car to show folks. to say nothing of
making sales. I'm so far behind in my
OF ders tha I've about made up my min
to quit talking sales and put IN my
whole time stating off customers.
Mr.. Bauwens is the Hammond agent
for the famous Studebaker line. With
factories covering 16s acres and pro-
7uctfon pushed to the limit, the company
Is stil far behind, but the word is passed
out that they are going TO care for the
big majority Of their customers before
the year ends 1t will be a bic job.
S~tudebaker was the first 70 produce a
seven-passenger car to sell for less than
$1,000 and ever since then he has been
first IN introducing dozens Of innova-
tions in the motor world. The new
Studebakers eclipse anything yet turned
out. both In mechanical qualifications
and appearance. The graceful lines Of
both the Blk Six and Light Six with
the body paneling and beautifully mold
ed tenders make a car which viii be
singled out by many as the trimmest
looking craft on the road
Mr.. Bauwen says Studebaker's latest
stunt is turning out his machines with
cord tires added to the complete equip-
ment.

happened TO hit the big, round stone
that Neddie had tied TO the dangling
grapevine, The stone swung q little TO
one side, and, swinging back, struck
the baboon on the paw.

Once upon q time, as Uncle Wiggtty
Lengears, the bunny rabbit gentlemen,
was hopping through the woods, he
saw Neddie Stubtail, the boy bear,
playing with a large head OF cabbage,
The csbSage wRs swinging from the
high branch Ct a tree on a long rope
What arc you doing, Nsddieg' asked
the bunny,
"oh. taking my morning exercise,
answered the boy bear. You see ]

to and fro. Watch me-
Neddia struck the swinging cabbage
VITA his paw. II moved away from
him, and then quickly moved back
again, banging the boy bear in the

the nose that time Luckily it's a soft
cabbage, and didn't hurt much"
Neddie rubbed his nose as he sat on
his launches under the swinging cab

long grapevine rope,
That seems TO be lots Of fun
laughed Uncle Wiggily, Let me see
you do Il again, Neddie.'
So after he had chewed IN the
mputhful OF shredded cabbage that he
had pulled off with his claws just be
fore Uncle WtgEiiy came along, Neddte
began 10 swat the vegetable once more.
Every time he hit 1t with his paw the
cabbage head would swing to one SIDE.
Then, when IL swung back again, Ned
die would hit II once more, That Is, ne
would sometimes, ana again, he would
miss hitting the cabbage head, and II
would hit him on the nose. But, being
a soft head or cabbage, IL did not hurt
the boy bear very much
rHow's your coldf' Uncle Wiggly
wanted to know.
"Oh, I'm SO warm now, from having
hit the cabbage so much. that | haven't
any more coldi" laughed Neddie. Here,

leaves for the bunny rabbit,
That left nothing hut the cabbage
