Studebaker President Coupe
Wins Popular Approval

Bidding fair to outstrip all previous
similar models in popularity, the
Studebaker President coupe of 1886 is
Occupying an increasingly prominent
place in the roster of 1886 Studebaker
sales. Dealers in all parts of the coun-
try are stocking the car heavily and
reporting unusual demands for this
model.
The President coupe is considered
the personality" car of the Stude-
baker line. It was styled by Miss
Helen Dryden, we'll known New York
designer, around the famous "Cham-
|pion" chassis and motor and the en-
semble indicates happy result of
Studebaker's intention to blend art
and engineering science.
Built upon a wheelbase of 1875
inches, the President coupe is power
ed with an eight cylinder, 115 horse
power engine. It's taxable horsepower
is 80; bore and stroke are 3-1-16" x
az; the cubic displacement is $50
Gu. in; and the compression ratio is
6.5 to 1. Equipped with over drive the
President produces 80 miles an hour.
So much for the vital statistics of the
power plant. Being typical of Stude-
baker, it is reasonable to assume that
the style of the car has been the most
important factor in its popularity.

Kounty Kuryosities
BY Hillbilly Hill

Find yourself wire nail and impro.
wise hook,
Find a lengthy piece of string, anG
wander to the brook.
Cut yerself hick'ry pole and dig a
can of bait,
Lay down on sunny bank and wait
wait, wait.
Dream about the old times, or the
days as yet to come,
Listen to the singing birds and hear
the insects hum.
Feel the sun and tepid wind, then
know contentment quite.
What difference will it make if the
fish don't bite?
