If Studebaker built nothing but the
Big-Six. you would never be able to
buy one Of these extraordinary cars
for $l785 at the factory.
The expense Of manufacturing and
marketing Studebaker cars is shared
by three distinct models. the Light
Six. the Special-Six and the Big-Six.
That means one executive manage
ment. one manufacturing organiza-
ton, one purchasing unit and one
selling cost-instead of three separate
organizations.
Consider the Big-Six as an investment
how much you get for your money.
plus the amount you actually saue.
We know of no car, even at twice its
price, that will give you greater satis-
faction in the matters of endurance.
appearance, comfort, serviceability
and the rehnements. In everything
that goes to make up your appreci-
alton of car, the Big-Six ranks with
the finest built. But it distinctly does
not rank with them in price!

SHOP NOTES

Astonishingly dainty and even be-
exhibition of crepe paper and seal
ing wax novelties now at Quimby' S
Art Store.
These articles are all the work of
Mrs. Harry Hersey of the store, who
has just completed a course of study
at the Dennison school. Mr.. Quimby
has opened a real Dennison depart
ment. where everything in the Den
nison line will be carried. not only
the made-up articles but the mate
rials from which countless things
may be made by anyone.
What Mrs. Hersey has done with
so simple thing as paper seems
almost impossible. Dolls, both male
and female. in wedding clothes,
flowers of innumerable kinds. favOrs
for dinner and dance parties, bas-
kets so cunningly made that ore
would think them of reed, hats in
the most stylish Colors and shapes
and-ever so many things.
The possibilities of sealing wax as
a medium Tor artistic creations are
also demonstrated. Nearly everyone
remembers the hatpins that used to
be made some 15 years ago. But
those were as nothing compared
with the novelties possible now, as
Mrs. Hersey plainly shows.
The Dennison department at the
Quimby Art Store is one of nine in
the whole state. Mrs. iHersey will
continue to be in charge of this de-
partment and will also give instruc-
ton to the patrons of the store.

From Lumber Truck

Mrs. Almon w. Gaspar of i Will
liam street brought into the Journal
Office, Tuesday, a small United States
flag which she said She had removed
from the rear end OF a truck load Of
lumber on Water street. She says she
intends TO make complaint OF all
such instances of desecration of the
flag which come under her notice.
There are penalties for such desecra-

The theory that high prices necessa-
rily mean fine cars is fallacious. simply
because prices are not based upon
. intrinsic values but upon production
costs of Individual makers. which vary
widely according to their ability and
manufacturing facilities.
Obviously. high costs Of production.
inevitably arising from incompetence
or inadequate manufacturing facili-
ties, mean not only high prices but
actually inferior cars.
The materials and workmanship in
Studebaker Cars measure up to the
highest standards known to the auto
mobile industry.
With $40, 0OO, 900 of actual net assets,
including $36.OO0,O00 of plant facil-
ities, and seventy years manufacture
ing experience, Studebaker stands
unsurpassed in ability and resources to
manufacture economically and give the
greatest intrinsic value possible for a
given price.

Ing reports OF an early increase In the

hance the company's 1922 profits, Mt
Carpenter stated that costs have been
gradually increasing SO far this year
and the present course OF both labor and
