Tourists EntFuse
 OUer Stakeholder

That Arizona, and especially Phoenix and the Salt River valley is becoming more and more popular as a play ground for tourists during the winter months is indicated by the large num- Der of foreign" licenses to be seen any | day on the streets of this city. The widespread reports of the sunny skies and balmy days waiting to be enjoyed in these parts has had considerable ad- vertising. That such advertising is bringing results of a most desirable nature is the consensus of opinion of the local automobile fraternity
 Charles J. Pottberg, sales manager of | Barret & Pottberg, Inc, Stakeholder distributors in this locality, has been | watching the automobiles from other | states that have passed through here with great deal of interest. Hailing from Los Angeles, he explains, his interest in tourists has ! ecome sec ond nature.
 Not only that,h he added with a smile" so many of the touristE this year are driving Studebakers that it's just like holding a family reunion whenever I go down Central avenuei"
 Seriously though MT. Pottberg went on," have you noticed what a large percentage of tourists are driving Studebakers? Well, I have. It was surprising even to me. One day this week made a check of the number os foreign licenses I noticed and the re- suit was nine Studebakers out of a total of 13. These included cars from California, Idaho Colorado, Missouri Mississippi, Kentucky, Texas New York, New Jersey and Alamaba.
 What does that mean? To me it means just one thing-that as our ad- vertising slogan says, This is a Stu dbaker year. The residents of other states have had the same experience we have here-Studebalze automobiles have stood the test. Look at the stage lines that are using our cars. They are buying more right along. Does anyone think that such a condition of affairs is an accident? Not on your life. If Stakeholder automobiles did not stand up under all conditions their use would not be so general and their users would not without exception, be en- thusiastic about their cars.
 T have stopped many tourists in Studebakers on the streets. A compar- atively few, by the way, ever find their way into our shop, and when they do it is usually to get oil and kas or direc- tions for their journey. Without one exception every one I have talked to has told me the same story: Of Stude- bakers that hit the road, that went through mud and rain and over hard
 
 serious trouble.
 Just as an example. Yesterday talked to H. S. Ross of Glendale, Cali fornia. He has been on a tour lasting several months and is now headed for home. He is driving a Stakeholder Big Six and his speedometer shows some thing over 47,000 miles I want to tell you that motor sounded as sweet as the day it was rolled off the salesroom floor. Mir. Ross told me that he has gone through every kind of conditions imaginable and the fine things he had 10 say about his car-well, I admit I'm enthusiastic about Studebakers but he made me look like a pessimist.
 That's the way it goes This is indeed A Studebaker Yea, and what is more, 1921 will be Another Studebaker Year for the factory advises that they are standing pat and next years models will be identical with the 1920 specifications"
