The Store with the Christmas Spirit

Lannes McPhetridge of Indianapolis Addresses Realtors at Turkey Dinner.

Fifty members of the South Bend Ileal Fstate board and invited representatives of several of the ciU's manufacturing industries, attended a turkey banquet given last evening in the Farmers' Trust Inn, iven iastead of the customary Tues. lavnoon luncheon. Iannes McPlutride of Indianapolis delivered an address on the benefits to be derived by the man who owns "-is own home and by his employer and the city in which he lives. Mr. McPhetridge :,tated that the

! man who owned his own home and

paid his taxes and other honest debts could not be the most desirable tpe of citizen unless he also talked for his home city and gave his money toward city projects when the occasion demanded. In his personal work among factory men he said he occasionally encountered the man who rented Ids home and advanced the argument for doing so that it was cheaper than owning a home. He explained that it required but little patience to break down such an argument and prove to any such man the fallacy of his theory. If a man owned his own home, which is at some time in his life, the ambition of most all men, the speaker stated he would become a better citizens alone because of that fact, for the reason that he would naturally feel that he was a part of the community, therefore would take more interoit in this city's taxed, lighting system, street and other improvements.

Rebuilt-Car-Week at STUDEBAKER Through careful purchasing we have ten selected USED CARS Rebuilt and Refinished. We offer nothing but unusual values in Rebuilt Cars during our Clearance Sale. When wc took cars in trade we used care in purchasing. We accepted cars we knew wc could sell at attractive prices. Many of them have been driven less than 2,000 miles. We appraised them carefully. If these cars were not in good mechanical condition, wc rebuilt and refinished them we painted them in attractive colors to give you a variety from which to select. We could do this because we have facilities for overhauling, repainting and rebuildingWhen we purchased these cars and later when we rebuilt and refinished them, we paid special attention to style, comfort, roominess, power and other desirable qualities. Today you can buy one of the few Rebuilt Cars we have left at a sacrifice price in fact, below the wholesale figure. You can drive it this winter and sell it next spring, when prices, have again increased and new car production has been curtailed, for as much as you paid for it. Come and See These Cut-Price Cars
