The two women sat on the terrace
Of their wistarla-covered villa
Madame de Poniere hunched up in
her chair, smoking a cigarette through
a long tube; Pauline, her reputed
niece, her coffee and cigarette alike
neglected, gazing flxedly seward.
Their immediate environment suggest
ed at once a taste for luxury and the
means to crafty it. The linen and
silver on the little table at which they
had just Iunched was of the finest pos
sible quality-the former lace-bordered
and adorned with a coronet. A bowl
Of pink roses occupied the center of
the table. The coffee had been served
in little cups of the finest Sevres china.
In the background, a single servant
was standing, dressed in plain black

lined face, but tall and Of powerful
build. He possessed to the full the

"BUY NOW" rs
FORD SLOGAN

Important among other indications
that the New Year will see a vastl!
increased demand for automobiles il
the Buy Now" campaign which hai
just been launched by the Ford Mo
tor Company.
Particular significance may be at
tached to this, coming as it does al
the very start of the year, for ne
company in the industry is better
situated to sense future conditions
in the motor car field nor keep more
closely in touch with the temper of
the motor buying public.
Through its greater dealer organi-
cation, approximating 10000, the
company is able to obtain very ac-
curate reports covering all parts of
the country. That the outlook indi-
Gates a greater demand than ever
during the coming year seems ap-
parent in the action of inaugural
ing BUY Now" campaign at this
time.
A year ago a shortage was seen
and the public advised but the de-
mand which developed during the
spring and early summer months ex-
ceeded all expectations with the re-
suit that production failed to meet
it and more than $4,000 persons
were disappointed in not being able
to get Ford cars. Practically all
through the year it was necessary to-
maintain constant increasing pro-
duction schedule in order to keep up
more closely with the demand. Even
with that deliveries were extremely
slow.
In view of the company's exper-
fence last year the Buy Now" cam
paign just starting comes as warn
ing suggestion to the car buyer and
reflects condition which presages
an even greater car shortage during
the coming spring and summer.
There has been an unusual de-
mand for Ford cars and trucks so
far this winter. In some cases deal
ers already are compelled to desig-
nate later delivery dates on certain
types of cars.
In this connection an interesting
feature is the already noticeable in
crease in enrollments under the Ford
Weekly Purchase Plan. More than
100000 have enrolled, for every
where throughout the country peo-
pie are more and more using the plan
as a sure means of arranging car
delivery at the time desired and as a
result there has been a noticeable
growth in the number of enrollments,
particularly during the last few

The Cost of a Car
is no measure of its Ualue
These are the things to consider

gineers, with our wealth of ex-
perience, we probably know what is
best.
We use SIS formulas for steels.
Each is best suited to certain parts,
as proved by years of tests.
On some steels we pay the makers
bonus of 1879 to get them exactly
right. There is no room TO excel us
there.
We machine the entire surface of
each crank shaft, as was done on
Liberty Airplane Motors. That ex-
ira cost is heavy. But thus we get

Just Go and See

Studebaker is today the leader in the
hne-car field.
Studebaker builds more quality cars than
any other concern in the world.
Buyers of fine cars last year spent over
$500, 100000 for Studebaker models.
The demand for Studebalzers has almost
trebled in three years = as people found
them out.
Then go see them. Compare them with
any car you will. Don't spend $1,000 or
over without knowing what Studebaker
offers. You owe that to yourself.
Mountain Home Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1915-1946, 1924-01-25

that perfect balance, that absence of
vibration.
We use more Timken bearings
than any other car which costs UNI
der $500. They cost considerably
more than ball bearings.
These facts apply to all Stude-
bakers, of all styles and sizes. The
materials used in all GLASSES are
alike.

The Studebaker coach work has
been famous for decades. No one
can excel it.
The finish is produced by 26 oper-

ations, including IS coats of paint
and varnish.
Open cars have real leather
cushions. They cost, over imitation
leather, about SIS per car.
No closed cars could be more luxu-
rious. That lining of Chase Mohair
is made from the soft fleece of An
CORA goats. A velour lining would
save about two-thirds that cost--up
to 500 per car.
Note how every detail denotes in
finite care. That, as you know, is
expensive.

Bill Jack Lewis suffered a broken

miles out and walked in. The car is

the doctor is glad it was no worse
and is attending to his practice as
usual.
The lack of market for the hay
has led some to purchase sheep
themselves, and this may be the So
luton of our trouble. Ranchers
raise some less hay but own their
own sheep and feed their own hay.
Others are considering it.

Then consider Stude-
baker history. For II
years this name has stood
for quality. When peo-

Studebaker built the
best. Now those same
traditions are applied to
rotor cars alone.

cost of car depends in large
part on volume and efficiency.
n 1t is no criterion of value.
Studebaker builds 100000 fine cars
yearly. All of them are Skies. The
main costs are divided by that enor-
nous output. Thus at prices of $975
and up we offer the utmost in quality.
We offer maximum values.
Don't judge these cars by prices.
Under other conditions they might
cost twice as much, yet offer less than
these.

George Bertschy was in from Rid
die last week bringing with him 1913
coyote hides, cats, mink, 100 rats
and an assortment of badger, COW and
sheep skins, which he disposed of
to S. L. Malicoat, of Gooding, and
H. H. Eaton, of Mountain Home, the
total sale reaching the respectable
abount of $145O. This represents a
large part of the catch in the Riddle
country for this season. He stated,
however, that the total catch was not
altogether the result of his traps, in
number of instances representing
purchases made of other trappers.
At any rate the season has been a
very profitable one to George, and
the end is not yet. Others are like
wise reported to have made good
