BROWN JOE HEIMAN Two of the most prosperous and well known farmers of Washington Township, are (he iatest to join the larjre list of Studebaker owners. These men were a long while in deciding on what car to purchase, hut after looking over a large number of competing cars, tic tided as have about 100,000 other men (his year, that Studebaker offers the most in style, comfort, room, quality and power for the money. After a trip through the large factory, where Mr. Heiman was shown how car * i oily every part was inspected and tested, and where nothing is taken for granted until proven so, he wss more than everconvim eu that he made the right selection. They say an auto salesman’s talk is cheap. It is easy for a man to make big, rtowing and general statements, but when you get right down to brass tacks, go carefully into specifications and details, you will find Studebaker does offer more for the money.
