A subsequent effort was announc-
ed. At the outset the expedition
contemplated an exploration of
Morse ruins in Greenland and La
brador. with view to comparing
the two and thus to determine
whether there was 11th century
communication between the old
world and the new. The explorers
also planned. on the return trip, to
explore by airplane, the interior of
unknown Labrador.
Other important objectives are the
flights contemplated over Bafin Is
land.
The society's decision has the fun
concurrence of the Navy Depart
ment, which loaned to Macmillan the
planes and personnel commanded by
Commander Byrd.
Plans for the withdrawal from the
North have not vet been arranged,
but it is believed likely that Mac
MILAN will leave the supplies he has
landed at an intermediate base on
Ellesmere Island in the hope of u.s.
ing them in future attempt.
The expedition now has been alb
sent from the United States about
two months. 1t left Wiscasset, on

SAME FINE STUDEBAKERs
Prices Reduced-Q Quality Maintained

II HESE low prices are not for new cars built
i to sell at new prices.
They are for Studebaker cars identical with those
which have been in tremendous demand at higher
prices during the past eleven months.
They are for Studebaker cars so well built Of
such high quality materials that net profits during
the past six months have averaged only $14064
per car. The rest of the money the public paid us
went into making car with scores OF thousands OF
miles Of excess transportation.
These earnings are triumph for the one-proht
basis OF manufacture. No manufacturer on less
efficient basis could have made dollar selling cars
of Studebaker quality at Studebaker prices.
Studebaker is the only oneproft in the fine car
field. Only Ford and Studebaker make for all their
all bodies, all engines. all gear sets, clutches
springs, dferends axles, steering gears, gray iron
castings and drop forgings. -
Thus we save and pass to purchasers profits
which many other manufacturers must pay to out
side parts and body makers.
No "yearly models" makes sales jump
Thus we were able last January to reduce prices
already low.
Then we announced that Studebaker would have
no more yearly models" to artihcially deprecate
cars in the hands of owners.
Sales instantly started to soar and have forced
the vast Studebaker plants to maintain peak pro-
duction throughout the summer, in the face OF
declining production for the industry in general.
To one-proft savings we thus add savings due
to long continued peak production These savings
we share with customers in the price reduction
announced August 1st.
We still use genuine leather, nohar upholstery,
