TO LIVE LONG YOU
MUST BE AN OPTIMIST
Ohauneey Depew, who might he fit
tingly called “America’s grand old
man,’' has recently given voice to this
piece of wisdom:
“Give me five minutes talk with a
man about polities or weather or neigh
bors or finances, and I’ll tell you
whether lies going to reach ninety-five
in good shape or not. If he says he
has the finest neighbors in the world
and adds that times never have been
better or politics cleaner or the weather
finer, then you may he pretty sure that
he’ll be a winner at ninety-five or any
other age. No matter how you live
there isn’t time to worry."

The Truth
About this Light-Six—plus proof on proof
It offers, not a few, but scores of
advantages. In its chassis it repre
sents the best that modern engineer
ing knows. In its steels and quality
of construction it is identical with
the costliest cars we build.
This is to offer you proofs. Then
urge that you see it before paying
or more a car.
Some evidence
The extra values which
this car typifies have
made Studebaker the
largest builder of quality
cars.
They have made these
cars a sensation. Sales
have almost trebled in
three years. Last year
145,167 people paid $201,
060,000 for Studebaker
cats.
The multiplying de
mand has forced an in
vestment oi $50,000,000
in model plants and
equipment. Of this, $33,
000,000 has been spent in
the past five years, so
the plants are up-to-date.
The engineering de
partment which designs
and superintends this
Light-Six costs $500,000
per year.
The machines which
build it are modern and
on
this car are exact to 1/1000th of an
inch. 122 operations are exact to
one-half l/1000ih of an inch.
1,200 inspectors are employed to
submit each car in the making to
32,000 inspections.
Infinite care
The steels are selected from 35
formulas, each one proved best by

Built by the leader in the fine-car class. One of the

the costliest cars we make.

years of test for its purpose. On some
we pay the makers 15% premium to
get them exactly right.
The crankshafts are machined on
all surfaces, as was done in the
Liberty Airplane Motors. This to
give perfect motor balance, at an ex
tra cost to us of $600,000 yearly.
It has more Timken bearings than
any other competitive car within
$1,500 of its price.
The equipment is unusual. The
cushions are of genuine leather, and
are ten inches deep.
Every part and detail accords with
Studebaker traditions. And the name
Studebaker has for 72 years stood for
quality and class. \

cars in this class called in auditors to
compare the operating costs. They
made comparisons on 329 cars, run
ning up to 25,000 miles.
It was found that this Studebaker
Light-Six cost for operation 11.4%
less than the average of its rivals.
This figure included depreciation.
That meant $207.50 saved on 25 000
miles. All because of this quality con
struction.
What it aavcj you
We build 150,000 cars
yearly. All such major
costs as engineering,
dies, overhead, etc., are
divided by 150,000.
We build in model
plants, with modern ma
N chinery, which have im
mensely reduced the
( manufacturing costs.
A car like this, built
under ordinary condi
tions, would cost you
from $200 to $400 more.

sake, what that means to
you.
