Studebaker Policy
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU?
IjOv Dopiccialion:
No annual models moans that this
year's car will look as well, as now, as
up-to-date as next year's or the year
after.
Your Studebaker will no longer be
come a "hack-number" each year and
cause you to suffer corresjioiKlinfv loss
' in re-sale value.
Increased Pride in Ownership:
Now when you buy a Studebaker yo-i
know that you will experience the
same, pride in ownership one, two or
five years from now that you have
the first day you drive out' the now
car. You will have the satisfaction of
knowing that improvements and re
finements will bo made gradually and
continuously without regard for the
calendar.
Only the. Tremendous Success of The Stud
ebaker and the High Degree of Perfec
tion to Which Studebaker lias At
tained Can Make This Possible.
And Now We Sav:
GREATER VALUE THAN EVER
And Now We Predict:
GREATER DEMAND THAN EVER

ein social and scientific effort is
directed both toward the preserva

That is the basis of the "safety"
movement In America, where the
danger of accident Is fur greater
than elsewhere wit h the constant
vogue of the motor-driven vehicle.
It is this, at loa.st in part, which
has lej to the formation of the
National Safety council, a co-operative
organ Izat Ion designed to
promote the safety Idea.
We boast of ihe number of cars
In the t'niied States, but we some
times fall to realize the dangers
these cars present, not only to mo
torists but pedestrians. F.very city
knows this, however, and every
city has its acute ''traffic problem."
In a recent editorial the Kngl
neerlng News Kecord, n leading
scientific magazine, notes that the
average city official concerns him
self mainly with "opportunist"
measures to promote safety. These
have to do with traffic regulatory
measures which nt best are of
merely temporary effacy. The
highway engineer, twined to larg
er problems, studies methods of
permanent relief.
Tt Is there that the real solution , $
lies. Without abandoning the so

stances. There Is tlie safe driver
and the "fool" driver. It is all
very well to uny that the fool
xhould suffer from his folly, but
today's theory is to save the fool !
from Ms folly. It must be remem
bered that the "fool driver mny
not be a fool in other things and
that he may be n valuable mem
ber of society when he is not at
the steering wheel of n car. Also,
that his folly does not merely re
act upon himself, but upon others.
His fool driving endangers other
lives and bodies.
Therefore it is essential that all
motorists be educated to the use of
the most approved safety devices
upon their ears. Chains, limn pent,
.stop-lights, proper windshield
cleaning enutpmcnt ami other safe
ty devices should be thought of Im
mediately In the purchase of ft car.
And communltieit should also af
ford protection. AH traffic prob
lems are not in city streets. Coun
try roads nre often more danger
ous. Their dancer spots ehould be
protected by modern safety de
vices. We are our brothers' keepers.

A Good Job
Is Worth
of Welding
Having
There's a world of difference in welding, but there
is never any difference in Leighton's jobs they must
all conform to one standard of the highest quality
that's Leighton Service.
Our idea of a welding job is to take broken pieces
and produce for you what amounts to a new part or a
new casting new in the qualities of strength and
utility. And we produce that at a tremendous saving
in time and money that would otherwise be required lo
get complete new parts in most instances.
That's one of the reasons the man who knows quality
insists on it being a "Leighton Job."
