po0ation of America alcanzo una mar
ca de production altisima, durante los

por medic de algunos nuevos departa-
mentos fabriles agregados, los cuales
fueron adaptados equipados para au-
mentar la production.
Las ventas de la Studebaker han ua-
mentado progresivamente durante los
seis Iltimos amos, pero Ell nlmero de
ccches vendidos dura1te los seis prime
ros meses de 1928, excede a toda compa
racion progresiva. Los 1880 coches
vendidos en- estos seis meses, forman un
Spmento de So por ciento sobre los me-
jores seis meses de negocios en- la his
toria de la compania, es decir, 1922,
cuando ell total de coches vendidos fus

Comparandolo ahora con Ell total de

doce meses de 1919. Excede al afio en-

When she gives me a letter 20 mail.
