PRES. ERSKINE REVIEWS
 STUDFBAKER ACHIEVEMENTS
By A. R, Erskine


 As a general rule, do not believe in talking about what has been done in the past, but rather in planning and preparing for the future. However, the production and sales records made by our organization last year have created considerable public interest and caused Studebaker to be the most widely discussed automobile company in the country. On every side the now famous slogan, "This is A, Stude- baker Year." caught the public fancy and was freely quoted, no doubt be- cause the results achieved by the or ganization made good the declaration of the slogan. Some of these achieve ments were the breaking of all previous records of sales of Stude- baker cars, the showing of greater percentage of increase in sales over 1920 than any other prominent auto mobile company, and the winning of first position as the. worlds largest producer of six-cylinder cars. These to be sure, were important records and accomplishments of which our or ganization was duly appreciative. Yet the point that caused most public comment was the fact that these records were made during year of general business depression. ; Various explanations may be given and have been given for Studebaker's accom- plishments. Among the factors that have made them possible, I would name these:
 The intrinsic value of Studebaker cars, from the standpoint of design, quality, durability, performance, and price.
 The universal respect for and con- fidence in the integrity of the name Studebaker, which for seventy years has been a symbol of quality and fair dealing.
