One of the
Reasons
why you find such universal admiration
for the Studebaker in the La Grande territory-is;
because of , what iStudcbakcr own-.
,ers,' think and say of their own- cara. ,,
Such enthusiasm and pride in owner
ship as they have couldn't exist without
becoming contageous. So many people who
have not yet known that enjoyment perma
nently now appreciate the reasons for
Studebaker demand.
The attitude of an owner is a most im
portant consideration in selecting a new
car. Studebaker owners have tried the
car under all conditions, on long drive?,
over varied roads, through traffic and
swiftly on the highway.
After you once experience, the power and
dependability of the new Studebaker and
see the beautiful finish and lines then
nothing more is required for car satisfaction.

'Peter DcTaola 1925 Indianapolis Race Winner
This statement from the young race driver, who
purchased a Buick a week after he wheeled his car
to victory at Indianapolis and broke the record of
that famous Speedway, sums up the nation-wide
opinion of Buick.
For, just as DePaolo recognizes the superiority of
valve-in-head engines for the race track and per
sonal use, so too have more than a million every
day motorists recognized the dependability and
performance of Buick and the Valve-in-Head type
of engine upon which Buick has concentrated for
21 years.
De Paolo bought a new Buick with the motor car
expert's discriminating eye for performance, for
dependability and genuine value. And his pur
chase is further evidence of the regard in which
Buick is so universally held.
