Rower-Comfort- Long Life
are combined in this Unit Built Shldebaker Sedan
@ta 0ne-Rgtat price $I395

F you are merely seeking trans
l. portatlon you may not appreciate
the Standard Six Sedan. But if you
seek quality in transportation; inbuilt
as we'll as obvious; if you demand
comfort and good taste if you thrill
to a smooth powerful engine, then
you atrl appreciate this fine Sedan.
And you will wonder how it can
be sold at the lowest price ever asked
for Studebaker four-door enclosed
car. 1t is possible only because
Studebaker has concentrated on the
production Of quality automobiles
more than one hundred million dol
lars in net assets.
Few manufacturers" have foun-
dries, forges, etc, to make their own
engines = yet one-ffth an automo.
bile's cost is in the engine. Even
fewer build their own bodies yet
one-third of the cost of car is in
the body.
Sfadebaker:s facilities
Not only does Studebaker make all
bodies and all engines used in Stude-
baker cars, but also all clutches, gear
sets, springs, differentials, steering
gears, axles, gray-iron castings and
drop forgings. Only Ford in the low
price field and Studebaker in the fine
car field enjoy the benefits of such
complete manufacturing facilities.

One.Proft value

These facilities enable Studebaker to
manufacture quality cars on a One
Profit basis. They enable Stude-
baker to eliminate the profits of out
side parts and body makers. Many
major savings are thus effected and
passed on to you in the form of
higher quality and lower price.
Unit-Bailt construction
Studebaker facilities result, too, in
unit-Built construction-in cars de-
signed and built as units. The hun
dreds Of parts in a Studebaker car
function together as a unit, resulting
in longer life, greater riding comfort
and higher resale value. Scores of
thousands of miles of excess trans
portation thus are built into Stude-
baker cars.
And "No-Yearly-ModeL"
As a natural outgrowth of those two
factors, third great advantage to
the buyer is attained -"No-Yearly-
Models" Because all phases of man
ufacture are directly under Stude-
baker control, Studebaker cars are
constantly kept up-to-date. Improve
ments are continually added, not
saved up for spectacular annual an
nouncements which make cars arti-
fcially obsolete. Resale values are
thus stabilized.

Studebaker's lowest priced
Sedan but all quality
THE fine Studebaker Standard Six
i Sed dan illustrated below is real four
door sedan 1t is upholstered in genuine
wool cloth. Carpets are wool Windows
are real plate glass. 1t has full-size bal
loon tires.
Equipment includes an 8-day clock, gas
oline gauge, ash receiver, rear-vision mir
ror, stop light, dome light, safety Lighting
control on steering wheel, automatic wind
shield cleaner, coincidental lock to steer
ing gear and ignition, controlled by same
key operating door and spare-tire locks.
But the most important superiorities of
this Sedan are concealed within the frame
work OF the body and in the chassis.
Body pillars are of northern white ash,
eross-members of hard maple. We pay
premium for the best steels.
Run the engine-the most powerful in
any car OF its size and weight, according
TO the rating of the n. A. c. c. and the
Society OF Automotve Engineers. The
motor is not built for excessive speed, but
rather for smooth, trouble-free service at
to IS miles an hour. II is built for
long. quiet life-not for spectacular stunts.
Come in-test its performance-power-
comfort; then realize that you can buy 1t
for the lowest price Studebaker ever placed

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Patent Rights.

One of the largest and most sue
cessful CORPORATIONS which Is known
in almost every place in, the world
where electricity is used owns a num-
ber of valuable patents on various
1t carries those patents
on it's balance sheet at exactly 81.
A balance sheet, as every man ana
woman unfortunately does not
know, is a statement wherein is set
down in dollars and cents the value
of everything an organization or an
individual owns and the amount he
owes. On the face of 1t, this great
corporation values it's patents at 81,
although the ownership Of those pat
ents enables the corporation to manu-
facture profitably scores OF articles
and devices 1t could not manufacture
IL il did not own the patents. Is that
81 valuation, then, a misstatement?
In all reliability those patents could
not be bought for some millions of
dollars. Why value them at 81?
That valuation is not misstate.
ment. 1t means simply that the con-
scientious officers of that corporation
cannot place an accurate valuation
on It's patents that would be even
worth millions of dollars today and
worth half of that or less next month
or next year New inventions may
make previously highly valuable pat
ents obsolete. Changes in economic
conditions and the public's demands
for commodities and goods may great
ly reduce the value of a patented
professor device.
Fortunes are made in new inven.
tions, the successful ones. Thousands
of inventions are unsuccessful. Those
who put money into them lose. In
the last 10 years more than 100000
new inventions and designs have been
patented In the United, States. There
lis a good chance for wealth in some
of them and a larger chance for loss
in more of them. Putting money into
new inventions Is a thing for long
and careful thought. not a venture to
be gone into after few days OF
weeks consideration at the suggestion
of new acquaintance, peddling the
stock, or an enthusiastic friend.

WHEAT TRADERS NERVES
HELD AT HIGH TENSION
In Review of Week Chicago Notes
Renewal of Talk That Specu-
lators Corner Market.
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO. August 8.-Runaway ad.
vances in price have kept wheat trad.
ers' nerves at high tension this week
and brought about renewed talking
that spectators have cornered the
market. Less questionable factors
tending to give wheat values a radical
upturn included sensational crop
damage reports from Canada. cur
tailed estimates of production In the
United States and adrces OF wet
harvest In Europe. Compared with
a week ago, wheat this morning was
13A to 16h higher, with corn Ma2
up: oats advanced 1a1A, and .provi-
sions showed 2 to As gain.
Heat and drought in Canada We're
represented as having made 1t doubt
full whether that country would yield
325, 900 900 bushels this season as
compared with 365,o00,o 900 bushels
forecast by the Government a month
ago.
Unofficial estimates of the United
States 1925 output Of wheat indicated
meanwhile that there had been a re-
duction Of about 100000 bushels
from the figures current last month
Besides, the market effect of such de-
velopn1ents was added to daily by
transatlantic reports Of widespread
stormy weather spelling to more OF
less serious extent the final efforts
of wheat growers. especially in Hun
gary, Russia and France.
Expected big shipments of wheat
out of Chicago by lake vessels next
week added to the prospect that trad
ers who have contracted to deliver
wheat here might meet with unusual
difflculties before the end of Septem
Der in particular. This likelihood was
increased by evidence Of a sharp de
mand from domestic millers and by
remarkable smallness of arrivals oi
wheat at primary centers, the total
frequently running below half the
amount reached at the corresponding
time last year. Under these circum
stances wheat selling was for the
most part confined to profit taking ant
the setbacks in price that were wit
messed all turned out to be transient
Corn and oats were in sympathy
with the action of wheat despite rains
beneficial to corn growth.
Some enlargement of export demand
helped to lift the provision market.

NERVOUS, UNSETTLED
General Lack of Confidence in

CHICAGO, August S.-The butter

times the market tone was weak.
Jcbbers on all markets as a rule

there was no danger of any sharp

moving. Very little speculative buy

operators as having a bullish effect
on the markets. Despite the falling
OFF Of the net increase of storage hold
ings at the four markets. however,
there were many operators which
were changing opinions regarding the
firmness and the justifability Of the
present markets and price.
The unsettled condition of the mar
ket may to some extent be attributed
to the production outlook for the COM
ing Fall season. Although there is
little definite Information regarding it.
the fear of a heavy Fall production
caused many operators to feel that
current prices were too high.
