INDIANA IS LAGGING — President Os Hoosier State Auto; Association Says State Is Failing. To Keep Pace In Paving Indianapolis, Aug. 29—Indiana is lagging behind other midwesteni states in road construction work, E. W. Swinhart of Fort Wayne, president of the Hoosier State Automobile association., declared today. “For the past ten years Indiana has been living on the reputation of her gravel and stone roads instead of keeping pace with the times and paving her main highway arteries,” a statement Issued hy Swinhart said. He pointed out that Indiana is spending $10,000,000 on roads while Michigan is spending $30,000,000 and Illinois $60,000,000. Swinhart declared adequate funds for road work in Indiana would have been available if the state highway commission had been permitted to

Same Fine Studebakers Prices Reduced— Quality Maintained

THESE low prices are not for new cars built to sell at new prices. They are for Studebaker cars identical with those which have been in tremendous demand at higher prices during the past eleven months. They are for Studebaker cars so well built of such high quality materials that net profits during the past six months have averaged only $140.64 per car. The rest of the money the public paid us went into making a car with scores of thousands of miles of excess transportation. These earnings are a triumph for the one profit basis of manufacture. No manufacturer on a less efficient basis could have made a dollar selling cars of Studebaker quality at Studebaker prices. Studebaker is the only one-profit car in the fine car field. Only Ford and Studebaker make for all their cars all bodies, all engines, all gear sets, clutches, springs, differentials, axles, steering gears, gray iron castings and drop forgings. Thus we save and pass on to purchasers profits which many other manufacturers must pay to outside parts and body makers. No “yearly models” makes sales jump Thus we were able last January to reduce prices already low. Then we announced that Studebaker would have jin more “yearly models” to artificially depreciate cars in the hands of owners. Sales instantly started to soar and have forced the vast Studebaker plants to maintain peak production throughout the summer, in the face of declining production for the industry in general. To one-profit savings we thus add savings due to long continued peak production. These savings we share with customers in the price reduction announced August Ist. We still use genuine leather, mohair upholstery,

fine northern white ash and hard maple, tough extra gauge steel for which we pay premiums, plate glass, walnut inlaid with holly and other refinements. In short, these are the same fine cars in every particular—only the price has been reduced. You can't appreciate what a bargain Studebaker cars are at these new prices until you compare them point by point with others. Remember that Studebaker cars have been kept constantly up to date. Improvements have been made as soon as developed — not saved up for spectacular announcements under the guise of “new yearly models” designed to depreciate cars already in the hands of owners. Superiorities—both hidden and obvious Many of the most important superiorities of Studebakers are hidden until revealed by thousands of miles of usage, but here are some you can check to prove our statement that every Studebaker is more up to date than the newest “yearly model.” On all present Studebaker models, you'll find an automatic spark control, safety lighting control on the steering wheel, 8-day clock and gasoline gauge on the dash, improved one-piece windshield, special coincidental lock of ignition and steering gear, fully machined crankshaft, cowl«entilator,a aterproof ignition and oil drain valve besidp the engine. Studebaker pioneered the steel-framed Duplex Top with roller side enclosures which gives enclosed car protection to open car models —in 30 seconds. Studebaker pioneered the use of full-size balloon tires, for which steering mechanism, fenders and body lines have been especially designed. Come in and see these sturdy, dependable “oneprofit” cars. Today, more than ever before, every Studebaker is a big money's worth. Ask about our liberal Budget Payment Plan.
