Studebaker is today the leader in the fine-car field.
 Stakeholder builds more quality cars than any other concern in the world.
 Buyers of fine cars last year spent over S200. .0O0 for Studebaker models.
 The demand for Studebakers 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 Sl000 or over without knowing what Stakeholder offers. You owe that to yourself.

Consider Studebaker records. Mark how these cars in service have null tiplied demand. until people last year paid S200,0o0,o0o for Stakeholder cars.
 Consider their service records. One Studebaker car, built in 1918, has run 475,000 miles. Ii is still in active service. It lately made mid winter trip from Los Angeles to New York. That means 80 years Of aver age service, of 6,o00 miles per year.
 What more can you dream of in motor car than the Studebakers offer?
Putnam patriot., 1924-01-25

.SHE cost of a car depends in large
 part on volume and efficiency. 1 It is no criterion of value.
 Studebaker builds 15o,0o0 fine cars yearly. All of them are Sizes. The main costs are divided by that enor- nous output. Thus at prices of S97s and ap 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.
 Some major costs

Compare part by part with any rival cars. Stude baker will show you some scores of ad- vantages.
 Then consider Stude- baker history. For 72 years this name has stood for quality. When peo- pie rode in carriages, Studebaker built the best. Now those same traditions are applied to motor cars alone.

 We use more Timken bearings than any other car which costs un- der $5.600. They cost considerably more than ball bearings

 DAVIS PROMISES
Declares He Would Have Posi-. tive Foreign Relation Policy

Aboard Davis Special. En Route to Washington, Sept. 27.--Having clos ed a two day speaking tour of his native state of West. Virginia with a promise that lie would not "tip-toe in foreign relations" if elected president, John W. Davis, democra- tic standard bearer, was en route to Washington early today for confer ences with party leaders before go- ing back to New York and prospec- tive campaigning In the northeastern states.

 Speaking to an audience of West Virginia and virginians that packed a large tabernacle" at Bluefeld last night. MT. Davis gave his promise not to tip toe for fear the senate might overhear him, after declaring that the executive head of the gov ernment. who shared with the sem ate the conduct of foreign affairs, did. not dare let the senate of the United States know anything about the Dawes reparation committee.
 Scorning what he termed the "saf- ety of the materialist who can think only in terms of dollars and cents" MT. Davis gave what he called the message of the democratic party.
 "1n place of the man who says I dare not I wish to see my country men led by the man who says I dare'," the candidate declared. "In place of him who says I doubt put my confidence in him who says T believe.' For him who says T fear give me the man who says I trust For him whose first thought is is this course expedient,' pre- fer to follow him who says is this course right"
 Mir. Davis West Virginia tour in cuded besides the three main ad- dresses at Charleston and Hunting ton on Thursday and at Bluefield last night, nearly a score of short talks from the platform of his train. All these addresses he reported ain assurance gained from his western tour of coming triumph in the elec- ton and in most of them he reiter- ated his attacks on the republican record with special reference to na- val oil reserves and the Veterans bureau.
