BCHJHPEIR.. - Hampton Ga., January 31 ;6m WHY THE STUDEBAKER WAGON IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD! lRt. It is made of the best selected Indiana timber, the same being cut at the proper season of the year, piled under sheds, properly dated, and allowedjlo remain there from 3 to 5 years. 2d. l’he wood work, thoroughly seasoned, is shaped by the latest improved tnacbiu ery, and put together by the host Wagon Mechanics in the world. 3d. Our Patent Bevel Edged P ejecting Tire saves the paint on the felloe, and con sequently saves the felloe from wearing, when running in a frozen rut, or on a rocky road. 4th. The Thimble-Skeins are made of select iron, and weigh from 4 to 25 pounds per set more than any others made, and therefore do not break. sth. Tie Sffeins are set by a patent skein setter, which take? exact pattern of the inside of the skein to which the axle is to be fitted, thereby makiug a true fit, and a perfect running wagon. 6th. It is the only wagon in which the Slope-Shoulder Spoke is used, hence they have the best wheel, which is actually the foundation of the wagon, and should be carefally examined by persons purchasing 7th. The hubs are all bored true, then the Skein Iwxes are turned to fit ‘on an iron lathe, and are then pressed into the hub by hydraulic pressure, thereby insuring a perfect and tight fit, preventing the box from ever working loose, or allowing oil or water to soak in between the box and the bub, as is the case io most makes of wagons where the boxing is wedged in. Bth. It took the highest award of merit and the Grand Medal at the Centennial Ex position, for excellence of material and superior workmanship in competition with the world*. 9th. The Stodebaker Brothers are practical workmen, attend to their business per sonally, arid do not intrust it to the foreman, as is generally the case io large factories, hence the superiority of their work over all others. LOth. It is the Best wagon when New, and Good when Old. Farmers and Team, sters will tell you so!
