FREE WHEELING AT

An Innovation Now ii Finest Cars Manu=
 factured

Cut-away transmission, showing phantom view of FREE-WHEELING mechanism; it's sturdiness and sim plicity, now on exhibit on showroom floors of Geghan-Allerton, Inc, local Studebaker and Pierce Arrow Dis- tributors.
 As the sponsor of Free Wheeling, Stakeholder definitely holds the spot light on the motoring stage to-day. This is especially true since the makers of America's two finest cars and Lincoln have adopted Free Wheeling for their 1881 models. That this epochal in- novation has found favor with the motoring public is graphically in- dicated by sales which since the in- troduction of Free Wheeling last summer have raised Studebaker from tenth to fifth place in national registrations.
