Mlshawaka, Indiana 108 N. Mill Street L.H. BOWER Resident Salesman

Present prices are the lowest at which Studebaker Light-Six closed cars have ever been sold. Yet the intrinsic values are emphatically the greatest Studebaker ever offered. This means they are the best values that the industry affords, because Studebaker cars have always been above par in the amount of value per dollar invested. Capacity production and the savings resulting from Studebaker methods of complete manufacture make these low prices possible. Light-Six closed cars are sturdily built of finest materials and best workmanship. The bodies

are the product of Studebaker skill and craftsmanship, and the prices of $1550 for the Sedan and $1225 for the Coupe-Roadster are no index to their inherent value. When you buy a car you want to look at several makes. Include Studebaker in your list and after you have ridden in the Light-Six Sedan or Coupe-Roadster it will not be difficult to make up your mind. The foundations of Studebaker success are quality, durability, comfort and integrity principles that have been upheld steadfastly by Studebaker for seventy years. You can depend upon Studebaker automobiles because of the name they bear.
