/. Endurance.

l. endurance. studebaker Cars are daily giving sadsfac-
tory service to 200 900 owners in all civilized countries. Proof of their
dependabiity rests upon the fact that our sales OF Repair Parts, cover
ing repairs from accidents al well as service, for the past seven months
averaged but $500 per car. Up to August 1t, 1922, we produced AMI
sold $4,000 Studebaker Cars, and are now producing and selling at
and vet II total sales Of Repnair Parts this Year are less than they were
for the first seven months OF 1919.
2. Economy of Operation. Greatest economy re.
suits from minimum repairs and high resale value of second hand cars
in proportion to list prices. Gasoline and oil consumption are next i'm
porhnt items of economy. The records OF Studebaker Cars In I'll these
respects stand out strikingy well.
). comfort. Correct design of weight distribution, spring
suspension, seats, upholstery, etc, determine largely the question of
a matter of design: Comfort is characteristic of studebaker cars:
Heavy weight is neither essential to comfort nor an assurance of it if
equally by the four wheels, which is ideal distribution. With bodies
resting without overhang OF frames, semi elliptic springs, seats OF
generous proportions, and best upholstery, Studebaker Cars are neces-
sariy comfortable.
4. Price. With S7s, 900 of actual net assets, including
$3S 100000 Of plants, and an organization of able, experienced men
stands unsurpassed in resources and ability to manufacture economic
caHy and give maximum Intrinsic value for a given price. By manufac-
turing complete motors, transmissions, axles, frames,b bodies, tops, cast
ings, forgings, and sampings, part makers profits on such items ar
eliminated, and one profit only IS included In StudeDaker prices: Ihe
South Bend plants formerly devoted to the manufacture of horse,
drawn vehicles, with recent additions, now manufacture sedan and
coupe bodies, at minimum costs (w1thout m1ddlemens prohts), ana
buyers benefit accordingly.
The materials and workmanship in Studebaker Cars measure up
to the highest standards known to the automobile industry Substan-
TALLY better intrinsic values cannot be obtained at any price. The
theory that high prices necessarily mean fine cars is fallacious, simply
because prices are not based upon intrinsic values but upon the pro-
Tho broad principle upon which Studebaker business Is cor
grounded upon tradition, Insures satisfaction to everybody
ed patronage on this basis. This policy protects you bette

The Proof of Studebaker Quality

ducion costs of different manufacturers, which vary widely according
to their individual manufacturing facilities, ability and output Every
body in the automobile industry knows that standardized cars manu-
featured complete in large quantities give the greatest intrinsic values,
cars, which constitute eighty five per cent. OF the hundred odd makes
of American cars, are assembled from parts purchased from many
sources, which precludes harmonious CO. ordination in design and n
evitably increases costs and selling prices about $3.50.
). Appearance. An automobile should never be bought on
appearance, although seemingly so of buyers are influenced by ap-
pearance alone. An automobile is a highly developed mechanical in
strument from which hard, satisfactory service is rightly expected.
Studebaker executives and engineers give much attention to appear
ance, style, and distinctive beauty in the matter of tops, hoods, raha-
tors, and tenders 1.-THE dress of an automobie). Our bodies are MASTER
pieces of fine craftsmanship, and are unexcelled for comfort and dur
ability.
b. OerV1Ce. Studebaker has 5000 branches and dealers in
the United States, and is widely represented IN all foreign countries.
These branches and dealers carry in stock 81, 100000 of Repair Parts
for all models of Studebaker cars. The prices of parts for Studebaker
cars are lower Cor as low as those of any cars of their price, and much
lower than those of high priced cars. Studebaker branches and deal
es are obligated to render prompt and efficient service to buyers.
Studebaker is in business to sell motor cars and not parts. The Access
sibiity of Studebaker Cars for quick dsmountng and repair work is
common knowledge in the garages and among chaufeurs and
mechanics all over the world.
i. POWER. In acceleraton, power delivered at the point of
traction, and hill climbing ability, all three models of StudeDaker lar
enjoy unique regulations.
S-lZ. SunQrleS. The other qualities which seemingly in
fuenced the selections of 20 $50 Of buyers are flexlbllty, endorsement
of others, specifications, speed, and appointments: Studebaker urs
stand high in all these respects. Studebaker Cars have set many pre-
cedents in quantity manufacture, particularly in the matter of appoint
ments and equipment, such Is crown tenders, cast en- bloc slx-cyllnder
motors, cord tires, one piece windshield, cowl ventlator, cowl lights,
tonneau lamp with extension cord, windshield wiper, TRANSMISSION
locks. beveled plate glass windows, etc. Satisfied owners are Stude-
bakers greatest asset.

as she could not choose her place OF

useful life has been spent here in do
ing good She was BON and reared at
Hartford. New York. and came here
In early womanhood to visit her sis

LOUISA NAMED
FOR LOUISA WARD

Louisa was named for Louisa Ward,
the first white child born where the
town is located. She grew to woman
hood and married a Hampton at Cat
lettsburg.
Frederick Moore owned most Of the
land now occupied by the city Of Lou
lisa. He had come into this locality
from Philadelphia in 1915. bringing a
stock Of merchandise with him. In adj
dition TO the land on which Louisa sits
he bought large boundary across the
river where Fort Gay is located and
the large bottom now known as the
Hammond land. After three years Of
prosperity as merchant and trader
he sent to Philadelphia for his wife
and two small children. Mrs. Moore
was a Miss Vanhorn and they estab-
lished their home on the land men
toned above as the Hammond land.
He lived to be 90 years old. dying in
1874.
The wide streets in Louisa and the
symmetrical plan of the town is said
to have been the work OF Frederick
Moore
A number Of his descendants have
been leaders and others are prominent
today. Col. Laban T, Moore was a
distinguished son. Col Sam Savage
was grandson of ability. FL; t. d.
Wallace and G. F. Gallup are promi-
nent grandsons yet living. Rev. DR..

prominent preachers in the United
States. There are others who should
be mentioned in this connection.

HOW STATE Line
WAS ESTABLISHED

There is an interesting story about
how Kentucky gained all the territory
between the Levisa and Tug river
forks Of the Big Sandy river, includ-
ing n part OF Lawrence, all OF Martin,
part OF Floyd and Johnson. and the
greater portion OF Pike counties.
Kentucky was originally one county
IN the State OF Virginia. When 1t was
made State the boundary line was
given as the Big Sandy river. Later
the question arose as to which OF the
two forks. from Louisa up, was The
main stream The two states a2-
pointed commissioners to meet al
Louisa and decide. On the day they
met here the Tug fork was rising rap
idly as the result OF heavy rains al
the headwaters OF the two forks, but
the Levisa fork had not yet begun &c
rise. Tug is sleeper stream and
headwater tides always reach Louisa
in that fork ahead of Levisa,
The commissioners got the idea that
Tug was the main stream and estab-
lished the state line accordingly.

A History of Lawrence
County Newspapers

Louisa's first newspaper was the
Chattaroi News, started by Joe H.
Borders Of Paintsville about 1880. At
ter less than two years Mr.. Borders
decided TO go to Kansas and the pa
per was suspended,
Next came the Lawrence County In
dex, which began its career in 1888.
Pref. II. T. Lyttieton, then teach
ing n private school here. Joined with
Tom Dickinson, a printer. in estab-
fishing the Index. Later W. o. John
son, now a Colonel in the U. S. army,
bought Dickensons interest.
Just 81 years ago this week the In
dex was sold to L. Boyd Ferguson and
NJ. f. Conley, and the name was
changed to the Big Sandy News. This
partnership continued is months, when
Conley bought Mr.. Ferguson's inter-
est. Not one time has the paper fail
ed to make its regular weekly appear
ance. Modern machinery was gradu-
ally acquired until a first class plant
was built up. In 1912 and in 1922. the
only times that the Kentucky Press
Association has offered prizes to the
best newspaper in the State. the Bis
Sandy News has been awarded FRS
prize.

been started here under the following
names: Enterprise. Banner, Advocate
Journal. Commercial, Chronicle, Ad'
/ vertiser, Times. Leader Picket, Cour-
Ter. Herald, Recorder. and perhaps an,
other one OF two. Some OF these pa.
pers changed hands two or thre'
times.
