The average small manufacturer
whose volume will enable him to
build only 5000 bodies from set of
dies in the same time in which Stude-
baker builds $4,000 has to charge
each body $40 for die cost. The diff
ference of $16 is in the price but not
in the body. The customer pays it
but he gets nothing tangible for it.
1t is one of the penalties of uneco-
nomical manufacture.
Thus car priced at 81, 200 to ST 400
can be sold as low as $1045 when
produced economically in quantity.

guiding was in the Squaw Pan Lake
region and since then has guided in
all parts of the state. During the
last four years, he has confined his
activities to Moxie Lake and its out
lying lakes and streams. He declares
that trout and salmon fishing cannot
be bettered in the state.
Mr.. Carter is true sportsman as
we'll as a guide although his. expert
ence is not as extensive as his part
ner's, he is thoroughly familiar with
the Big Woods and the outdoor life.
Sportsmen can rest assured that he
will attend to their comforts in camp
and on the trail in every possible way.
Both of the owners of Rainbow
camps are war veterans, Mr.. Folsom
having served In the Philippines Is
lands during the Spanish American
war and Mr.. Carter having served
with the Canadian Army in France
Belgium and other foreign countries
during the World War. After life
of travelling and varying experiences,
these veterans have settled on this
beautiful lake in order to enjoy and
to help others to enjoy the Great Out
Door Life.
When one arrives at Rainbow
Camps they find large, coy main
camp with all the comforts of the
sportsman and are greeted by Mrs
Folsom who will soon make you coy
and comfortable and one will soon
have that home like feeling Mrs.
Folsom is a guide as well as her hus-
band being enc of the three women
guides in Maine. She is familiar
with all the branches of the out doors
and handles fire arms as well as the
fly rod with skill.
In the main camp one finds piano,
victrola and a modern high powered
radio set as we'll as q couple of port
able sets that are used on camping
trips. This is an unusual feature
and radio adds pleasure to few days
trip in to the mountains. Attic the
capacity of Rainbow Camps is limited
at present, they will extend and inn
prove with each season. Last sea-
sons business was above expectations
and all things indicate a greater bust
ness for the coming season.
Reservations are now being filled
and any one desiring information,
should write or wire the camps direct.

Mr.. Comber will work for the Hol-
lingsworth & Whitney concern, oper-
ating a REQ truck summers and a
Ford snow wagon winters, in hauling
operations. He has been assured of
work with this concern until they
complete their numbering operations
in that section which will probably
be six or seven years hence.
Mr.. Berry will probably locate at
The Forks village, being extensively
engaged in the making of equipment
connected with snowmobiles. This
will doubtless occupy his entire time

Whv Studebaker exceLS the
world in body building

For IL years Studebaker has been
builder of quality vehicles.
This historical tradition has been inbred
in generation after generation of coach
makers And the Indiana city of South
Bend is known as a WorldMecca of artl-
sans of this craft.
In the modern $10,00O0O0 Studebaker
body plants, there are sons and fathers and
grandfathers working side by side. Their
religion is fine coach building. And this
is reflected in their work.
AS fine body builders, Studebaker stands
supreme. No other maker has the expert
ence of Studebaker. No other the Stude-
baker traditions to inspire him.

Before His Honor for Illegal Fishing

Richard p. Kunz and Herbert
Adams, both of Scion, was before
Judge Elmer w. Sawyer of the Wes-
tern Somerset Municipal Court last
week, and pleaded guilty to Illegal
fishing. The men were found by
Game Warden King, fishing through
the ice at Middle Carry Pond, on the
10th of January. They both paid
fines Of $1,000 and costs, each.

Thus a manufacturer producing
but 10000 cars year must add SIS
per car for engineering, or eight
times as much as Studebaker.
Other fixed overheads have been
reduced proportionately. And these
influence Studebaker prices.
A set of body dies costs 100000.
It will produce many thousand sets
of body stampings, each one as per-
feet as though there were only a
dozen made.
BY building $4,000 bodies from
single set of dies, Studebaker reduces
the die cost per body to only $500.

FORD GIVES $z5, 900
FOR X. w. c.. "A. WORK


NEW YORK, May 4.--A gift Of
SIS, 900 to the Y w. c.. A. from Henry
Ford was announced at the eighth
biennial convention of the association
at the Hotel Commodore here Sunday.
Ford's donation. which is in the form
Of an annual contribution of $4,000
for three years, is to be devoted to
the discovery of the principles on which
the associations work in rural COM
munities should be built
Ford specified the sections in which
the work was to be carried on, but
the location of the field Of research
was not made public. 1t is believed
that the districts are in the middle
west.
Praise for Ford's manufacturing en-
terprise was contained in the state
ment made by the Y. M. @. A, in ac-
knowledging the gift. The statement
said that Ford has brought new life
into the country through his auto
mobile, and because Of this fact coun-
try people seem to have developed an
almost personal affection for Mr.. Ford.
