; Are We Extravagant? Here are some costs on Studebaker carsWould you have us cut them down f

WE arc lavish on Studebaker cars. For some features we pay three end four times what they need cost. Here are some cf those costs which affect you. Tell us—would you want any one reduced? Our prices on high-grade Sixes * run from $1025 to $2685. They stand at bottom in the fine-csr field, despite these extra costs. All because the demand requires 150,000 cars per year. But they could be lower if wc cut these costs. Would you have us do it ? Engineering—s 500,CKM) Our engineering departments cost

us $500,000 yearly. Our Department of Research and Experiment employs 125 skilled men. It spends vast sums in analyses and tests. Our Bureau of Methods and Standards fixes every formula, every requirement. It makes 500,000 tests per year to maintain our high standards. We make 30,000 inspections on every Studebaker car during manufacture before it goes out of the factory. We employ 1,200 men to do that. Those are heavy costs. But remember how they are divided —by 150,000 cars per year. They form but a trifle per car. sso,ooo,oooinplants We have invested SSO,-

000,000 in modern plants and equipment. $8,000,000 in drop forge plants. $10,000,000 in body plants —as the only way to do Studebaker coach work. These plants are equipped with 12,500 up-to-date machines, many of them very expensive. But consider the alternative. Profits to other makers. We save up to SJUO for you by building Studebaker bodies in our own body-plants. 15% extra <m steel On some steels we pay a bonus of 15% to the maker. Just to get our LIGHT-SIX 5-Pass. 112" w.

formulas exact. We could save that extra on “commercial runs.” We are one of the very few builders, either in Europe or America, using crankshafts machined on all surfaces. It costs us $600,000 a year to give you this. But it results in that smoothness of operation, that lack of vibration which characterizes only the most expensive cars. Every Studebaker car is Timkenequipped. The Special-Six and the Big-Six have more Timken bearings than any car selling under $5,600 in America. The Light-Six more than any competitive car within $1,500 of its price.

Don't Buy a Fine Car until you sec the leaders Studebakers hold the top place in the fine-car field today. Last year, 145,167 people chose them against all rivals. They paid $201,000,000 for them. For 72 years the Studebaker name ha« stood for the utmost in quality. It will never stand for less. Today there are assets of $90,000,000 staked on the Studebaker cars. Don’t pay SI,OOO or more for a car without knowing what Studebaker offers. You -will find here some scores of advantages. Learn what they mean to you.

Other costly extras Our bodies are finished with 18 operations, including 15 coats of paint and varnish. We use real leather upholstery. We could cut tlie price of our open models $25.00 were we willing t« use imitation instead of genuine leather. We upholster our closed models in the finest Chase Mohair. Cotton or ordinary wool, or a combination of both, would enable us to reduce our price from SIOO to $l5O per car. Rut we would thus sacrifice Studebaker quality and reputation.

The many extras on our large closed cars would cost much if you bought The nickel-plated bumpers, the extra disc wheels and cord tires, the steel trunk, the courtesy light, motometer, etc. Extras to our men We pay the highest labor scale. Then we add extras to it. Men who are with us five years or over get 10% of their year’s wages in an anniversary check. Those anniversary checks last year cost us $1,300,000. After two years all employes get a

week of vacation with pay. That cost us last year $225,000. Old employes who retire get pensions. All this to keep men with us while they grow more and more efficient. To make them happy, so they do their best. This is all paid by people who buy Studebaker cars. But we figure that each such dollar saves us five dollars. Don’t you agree with us? The utmost in car value The object is to give you the utmost in car value. You will find we do that if you make comparisons. In any Studebaker model, you will

find scores of ways in which it excels any rival car. That is why, in the fine-car field, the Studebaker leads. The demand has almost trebled in the past three years. These cars have become the sensation of Motordom. On some of these models we have never yet been able to meet the demand. We spend money lavishly. We build without regard to cost. But. in ou** quantity production, we still bring costs to bottom. You should learn what these things mean to you before you buy a car. B I G """ S I" X 7-Paas. 128’ W. B 60 H.
