TO WEIGH
VALUES this YEAR
Shrewd Purchaser Will Be
Discriminating in Choice
OF Cars.
BY III. b. HARPER,
Sales Manager Of the Studebaker
Corporation.

While 1 believe this is going to
prove one OF the greatest years In
the history of the automobile in
dustry, I feel just as certain that
the public will be more discriminat-
ing in its choice OF cars than ever
before. will weigh values more care
fully. and, in general, will be guided
by the point OF view that is always
attributed to the shrewd purchaser.
That being the case, 1t is thor
oughly in keeping with the spirit
Of this discussion to go into the
factors that determine automobile
value. What. then. must a car pos
sess to answer the requirements of
the owner in 1922?
Style is. Of course. an important
consideration. Body lines must be
attractive and distinctive. with dignity
rather than freakishness as their
dominant note. We have recognized
this fact in our new models being
exhibited at the show by adding still
greater beauty to body designs which

are entirely the creation OF our own
body designers. and built complete in

Along with beauty, l would name
comfort. NV conception OF comfort
Is something considerably more than
is expressed In terms of deep, soft
upholstery. although. OF course, these
are important and no car can be COM

for driver and passengers is Just as
important. and We cannot overlook
such mechanical features as long.

steering and clutch operating, and the
convenient placing of levers and con-
troll instruments. Our engineers
have given special consideration to
all these features, for all of them

as well as physical.
The next item I would mention Is

session Nov. 20 President Har-
ding asked the Ship Subsidy Bills
passage.
The theory Of a ship subsidy is
this:
Every country, let's assume,
needs merchant ships. under its own
flag, to deliver the goods it sells to
other countries and to bring back
the goodsit buys from them
IL a nations ships can be u at a
profit. then private concerns are
cure to run them for the money
there is in it.
But if, for some reason. they run
persistently at a loss, private ship
owners will quit and that nations
flag will disappear from the sea-
UNLESS
Their government makes up their
losses to the owners, plus enough
more to pay them fair dividends.
Subsidy advocates say ships are
50 important that it is better for a
country to do this than to lose it's
merchant marine.
When the United States entered
the World War the government be-
gan to build merchant ships-'fe-
verishly, extravagantly, wastefully,
impractically," Harding says.
The. wars end found the country
NTH a large merchant fleet, so built
at a o. of 100000 900 to S4,-
900, 900, 900.
81 .ce then the government has
been running these vessels either di-
rectly or through private companies
actinG as its agents.
The loss on them, Harding says,
is S50 1000, 900 annually.
He wants to dispose of them to
private wners. But they won't be
accepted if they must be run at a
loss 1t is to v this loss that the
president proposes a subsidy.
He estimates it at a maximum
of $50, 100000 annually.
