Ten Good Reasons
WHY THE
STUDEBAKER WAGON
IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD!
Ist. It is nude of the best selected Indiana timber, the same being cut at the proper
season of the year, piled under sheds, properly dated, and allowed^to remain there from 3to
5 years.
2d. The wood work, thoroughly seasoned, is shaped bv the latest improved machin
ery, ami jiut together by the best Wagon VI ■clmnics in the world.
3d Our Patent Bevel Edged P-ejecting Tire saves the paint on the felloe, and con
sequently -lives the felloe from weuring, when running in a frozen rut, or on a rocky road.
4th. The i'himhle Skeins ate made of select iron, und weigh from 4 to 25 pound*
per set m ire than nny others made, and therefore do not break.
sth. T e Skeins are set by a patent skein setter, which takes exact pattern of the
inside of the skein to which the axle is to be fitted, thereby making a true fit, and a perfect
running wagon.
6th. It is Ihe only wagon in which the Slope-Shoulder Spoke is used, hence they
have the best wheel, which is actually the Inundation of the wagon, and should be earefally
examined bv persons purchasing.
7th The hubs are all bored true, then the Skein boxes are turned to fit on an iron
Lithe, and are then pressed into the hub by hydraulic pressure, thereby insuring h perfect
and tight lit, preventing the box from ever working loose, or allowing oil or water to soak
in between the box and the hub, us is the case in most makes of wagons where tbe 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 Studehaker Brothers are practical workmen, attend to their business per
sonally, and do not intru-it it to the foreman, as is generally the tfase iu large factories,
hence the superiority of their work over all others.
10th. It is the 8.-st wagon when New, and Good when Old. Farmers aod Team
sters will tell you sol Dealers who have sold them will tell you so 1
Mercantile success has demount rated that more money has been made by handling
