eggs in the same basket.
With the exception of q new

in exterior and interior trim. the
1854 Studebaker is identical with

The 1O0-year-old company's
newest car is the ConeStoga, q

Studebaker actually manufac-
tured similar wagons in 1853 and

New Detergents
No Substitute
For Oil Filters

Now that there are so many
detergents and additives on the
market many a car owner won
ders if he is justified in con-
tinuing to use an Oil filter.
He knows that If q filter has
trapped out organic matter such
as gums and varniShes this may
be taken back into circulation
by the action Of such additives.
but that is only part of the story.
The filter continues to trap
out dirt and abrasives. That,
basically, is the real function OF
the filter. 1t does this job well.
Why condemn it or consider 1t
superhuous when the job it does
so capably is one that inSures
the owner against excessive en-
CINE wear?
One Of the car manufacturers
uses q precipitation type Of oil
Alter that is built into the engine
at the bottom Of the crankcase.
This type has never protested to
trap out organic matter. SO the
current use Of special lubricants
doesn't change the picture at all.
The best view on oil filtration
today is simply to stress this
basic advantage of trapping out
the abrasives. But be sure to
use a fresh cartridge before
starting to use additives.

Road Improvements
Scheduled 10 Smooth
Auto Travel in 1854
By Walter W. Hubbard
American Automobile Association

Nothing gives us more pause
to think of wide straight high
ways or picturesque winding
roads than an automobile show
with its colorful collection of
brand-new spick- and-span cars.
There are over 900 miles of
State highways which are di-
vided and modern, now in opera
ton in the urban and rural Sec
tions, and over TOO miles of toll
roads now getting heavy, fast
moving motor vehicle traffic.
The total cost of toll highways
now under construction in the
United States amounts to about
SIS billion, with authorized
costs of toll roads not yet started
amounting to over $3.5 billion
and another 1900 miles projected
at a cost exceeding 50 billion.
But what may the operators
of nearly SIS million motor vehi-
cles expect by way of what has
been completed in the past year
and which may be finished dur
ing 1854?
