motor car means something more to

more of everything that contributes to the

want to be certain that your money buys the
utmost in tangible value-a One-Proht
Studebaker is the car for YOU
Stndebaker's Unique Facilities
Few motor Car manufacturers have
foundrics, forges, etc, to make their own
engines-yct one-fifth of the cost of an au-
tomobe is in the engine Even fewer build
their own bodies-yet one-third of the cost
of car is in the body.
Not only does Studebaker make all bodies
and all engines used in Studebaker cars. but
also all clutches, gear sets, springs. dfferen-
tials, steering gears, brakes, axles, gray-iron
castings, and drop forgings. Only Ford in
the low-price field and Studebaker in the
hnecar field enjoy the benefits of such
complete manufacturing facilities

Studebaker to eliminate the profits of outside parts
and body makers. Many nlajor savings arc thus
effected and passed on to the ultimate buyers Of
St11debakcr cars in the form of higher quality and
lower price. The thrifty man buys sctere he gets
the most for his money.
Unif.Bmilt Construction
Studebaker facilities result, too in Unit-Built
constructon--in cars designed, engineered and
built as units. The hundreds of parts used in
Studebaker function together as unit result
ing in longer lie, greater riding comfort and higher
resale value. Scores of thousands Of miles Of
cess transportation thus are built into Studebaker
cars. The thrifty man looks ahead and considers
aoj,ot serzee his 7wN gise after years of use.
AI,gays Kept Up.fo.Dafe
Because all phases OF manufacture are directly
under Studebaker control, Studebaker cars are
stantly kept up-to-datc. We add Improvements
regardless OF the caendar-we do not save them
up for spectacular annual announcements which
make cars artihcally obsolete. Resale values
thus stabilized. The thrifty man puts his money
