SUPERIORITIES -a more Reliable Starter The Studebaker -Wagner Starter has proven itself to be beyond question efficient and reliable. We tested the Studebaker-Wagner Starter ourselves. . In rapid succes sion we started and stopped the motor of one of our Studebakers 800 times. There was never a hitch or a miss. We satisfied ourselves that this starter, in use on 300,000 cars, de signed and made especially for the Studebaker motor, is the simplest, most reliable we have ever seen. Let us show you how well it performs. IslandCity M. & M. Co. La Grande, Oregon - Ten Boxes I. B. Love. Bing Cherries One Box 1st prize Geo. W. Thomas. 2nd prize J. B. Love., , 3rd prize R. I. Barker.

"I tried that, but it don't do any good," ventured the perspiring recruit, tugging manfully to acrompnsn a hopeless task. The sereeant cave it un in disgust.
