Will be this Light-Six, if you learn the truth

WHEN you buy a car in the “thousand-dollar” class, here are some things you should know. We made a canvass of men who bought rival cars in this class. And we found that 96 in each 100 bought without knowing these facts. So, for your sake and our sake, we want to present them to you. Save S2OO to S4OO

Studebaker builds 150,000 fine cars yearly. It builds in model factories, modernly equipped. It has spent $38,000,000 in the past five years on new-day plants and equipment. By quantity and up-to-dateness it saves largo sums per car. A car like this Light-Six. built under ordinary conditions, would cost S2OO to S4OO more. 11.4% less to run This supreme quality means lower operating cost. Owners of fleets of cars in this class made audited records to prove this. They compared 329 cars, running up to 25,000 miles each. And they found that the Studebaker Light-Six cost 11.4% leas to operate than the average of its

rivals. This includes depreciation. The saving was nearly one cent per mile. The reasons are these The Studebaker Light-Six, in its chassis, represents the best we know. In steel and in workmanship it is identical with the costliest cars we build.
