From every indication it would ap-

Ibis country has enjoyed during the

necessary to travel about the country
a great deal and have been in a posi-

of conditions as they exist in various
sections.
TT has been extremely gratifying to
note in almost every section of the
country how sound our present pros

1921 seemingly has had a very good

sound. By this i mean closer study
has been made OF market conditions,
buying of raw materials and of fin

and more carefully considered, and in
fact everything that enters into the

In the cities there is every indira

rural districts the farmers have har-

Bad Weather Puts
Responsibility for
Care on MOtOrist

BAD weather calls for more care in
driving without providing any stand
ards as to what to. guard against or
how to drive. Emergencies arise
suddenly, and need good judgment,
steady. nerves and. above all. COM
plete control Of the car. Rain and
snow dim the windshield, obscure the
drivers view and make the roads
slippery. AT dusk and during mist
and fog visibility is especially low,
the National Safety Council says.
No human agency can correct these
conditions. and extra care on the
part of the driver is the only way to
lessen the danger. The driver must
go slowly, take no chances and re-
member the responsibility which
rests upon him. The element of un-
eXpectedness which affects both
driSer and pedestrian is responsible
for many serious accidents --'--.
Particular care must be taken in
turning corners. Turning on two
wheels is bad enough when the
pavement is dry, but it is almost sui
cidal when II is slippery.

and took some. While on the first

Tonic until l regain my old robust
health
Now you may not be 'shore-sick .
but If you are run down, failing in
health and are generally miserable, be-
gin taking Munyon's Paw Paw Tonic,

Not extravaganza

Do such things seem
extravaganza? They are
not. All those extra dol
lars save more dollars for
our buyers.
They result in the cars
you see, in the prices and
values we offer. Nothing
else in the field can COM

a heavy cost per car. But each of
those extra dollars saves SIS, we be-

prices have resulted. Note the anaz-

cars.

Vt is true that we spend lavishly
on Studebaker cars. But it's all
- to your advantage.
tits by that spending that we give
you the greatest value in the fine-car
field. We offer prices no one matches
on any comparable cars.
That lavish spending led people
last year to pay $2oO,ooo,ooo for
Studebaker cars. And that volume

are.
