Soviet Mills Unable To Supply Peasants' Cotton Goods Needs MOW 'OW ( A i ') The shortage of roll on goods in Hussia never has been felt so urutrly as t his year. With the coming of the summer Moscow textile shops arc literully besieged by all classes of the town population and numer ous peasants, who come: great dis tances to buy u few yards of gins hum or cotton dress goods. Cor cigners are much surprised by the sight of long ieues of wom en shuppers who stand patiently all day long outside every stale textile shop, obstructing traffic ami necessitating the regulation of the crowd by militiamen. The high cost of woolens an I silks compels e"n the better class of people to resort to ordin ary cotton fabrics for their dresses, while, the peasantry us u .rule, nev er was accustomed to. wear any thing but cotton. Tho Soviet tex tile demand for cotton, which since the revolution has greatly Increased, while production of cot ton goods has decreased by near ly lo per cent in comparison with the pre-war time. In 1113 the R-isslan factories produced 2.7 5,000,0(10 meters of cotton goods, which eojiulH 17 met ers per head of population, while the 'last year the total production amounted only to Mio.non meters, which ia only six meters for every Inhabitant. In order to meet the demand for; cotton goods among the peasantry j the govTlimejit was compelled t last year to buy abroad 20.000,000 rubles' worth of ready cotton fab rics. With the realization of the coming harvest, which is expected this year to be satisfactory, the demand for cotton gooda by the peasantry undoubtedly will In crease. The government now Is confronted with .the problem of further increasing the import of cotton goods, as the increase u the production of the ItiiHsiun tex I Me factories would require a big tile industry is unable to supp' v 1 o-it lay of capital for reconstruc- liOLTON Bath Talc Gives a feeling of de lili'liful coolness after the bath. THE L & L DRUG CO. 4 A yf'nm.wi"iy ryy If J 7(ow-2l One-Profit Car in the Quality Field OTUDEBAKER has achieved one-profit manufacture in the quality field. This marks a new era in the automobile industry. Studebaker's achievement eliminates unnecessary profits running up to $500 on a single car. It banishes double overhead. It results in quantity production of quality cars. It vitally affects pricing by establishing a new criterion of value in the fine car field. t t'J III.UI KI, 4r Mil dt'.lt a tt II l U II III I If H'I' Ht Ihe lusted lbroni:h (be lit eat lelem epe in tin' dome fll n .T ("Mite.

They purchased mo tors, bodies, tops, axles, etc., from parts makers who were the manufacturers in reality. On this basis it was easy to become an automobile "manufacturer," and more than five hundred makes of automobiles have hod their day in the American market and disappeared. They ore represented only by "orphan cars" with practically no re sale value. Notwithstanding this writ Ingon the wall many manufac turers still assemble their product, piling profit upon profit fortheullimatepurchasertopay. Each profit which a maker pays to q body builder or porta sup plier enters into his costs just as though he had spent the money for steel or plate glass or uphol stery. Although it represents no value he not only paws it on to the purchaser but figures his own profit on tup of it. The Ford is a one-profit car and reigns supreme in its field. In the fine car field Studebaker and Stude baker alone now offers the American public one profit values. During the past seven years, when demand ex ceeded supply, Studebaker has been plowing earn ings back into plants and machinery until we are now able to make this announcement. Foundries, stamping mills, machine shops, are now complete. As final links in the chain of one profit production, the enormous Studebaker body plants have been operating for months at peak capacity. Resources totaling one hundred million dollars are concentrated on theproduction of this cue-profit car. No other individual manufacturer in the world (except Ford) possesses such facilities for the com plete manufacture of automobiles. That is why Studebaker is atUe to put finer at eel, finer wood, finer upholstery, better work mansJup, hundreds of thousands of miles of re- Why Studebaker is the "one-profit" car There are more than 60 makes of pmscnger cart built in the United Stutci, but very few are mamifac turrd complete in the plant of the producer who ell them.

This sound manufacturing principle not only holds down price, but it insures a better car regardless of price. The car is not a patchwork, but a unit. Last year at the New York and Chicago automobile shows four well-known auto mobile manufacturers ex hibited coaches mounted with the same body a body made from the identical dies, jigs and fixtures. Certainly theae manufacturers must have sacrificed engineering advan tages in chassis construction to accommodate this "stand ardized" coach body built by an outside supplier. Contrast this with Studebaker, where the entire car is designed and built as a unit and engineered complete. This construction means (1) longer life (2) Rreater comfort in riding (3) greater freedom from repair expense (4) greater resale value. With the advent of this one-profit -one-overhead plan of motor car manufacture, it is folly today to buy n caV by the same comparisons you used yesterday. Today you must measure all cars with tlus "one-profit" Studebaker. One-fourth of alt American passenger enrs built today belong in the fine car field a total of 57 different makes selling above one thousand dollars. ' There are 21 Studebaker body styles available on three different chassis. The Standard Six Models, ! 13-inch wheelbase, SO h.p. engine, $1125 to $1600 , f.o-b. factory. The Special Six Models, 120-inch wheelbase, 65 h.p. engine, $1450 to $2120 f.o.b. factory. And the Bis Six Models, 127-inch wheel base, 75 h.p. engine, $1875 to $2650 f.o.b. factory. And you may buy your Studebaker today with the asurunce that it will not be arbitrarily stig matixed by any act of ours as a "last year's model." Instead of spectacular annual announcements of "new yearly models," Studebaker has adopted the policy ot keeping its cars up-to-date in body stylet and chassis desit-n every day in the year.

How smoothly he once told of the merits of this product or that and raked in perfectly good coin for purchases that were often worthless. The "slick guy" is seldom seen today. When the wise person goes to buy, he knows what is good in value and fair in price. Simply by glancing over the advertisements in your paper, you can see where to go for the best buys. You can compare values and check up prices without even stirring from your easy chair. You know in advance just what you are going to get and how much it will cost. And you can have the satisfaction that comes from knowing your money is wisely and safely spent Nowadays, no one need be at the mercy of the "slick giry." There are stili a few people who fail to read the advertisements and "take a chance." Don't be one of them. Advertised products are safe buys. They have made good before they are announced. a e B n H n H n a H H H H M H n H n H H m a n a, a ,a n a a M a at a .a? a a n Ml a! a; a! a; ai HI ai a a a a a n a a a a a a ii n lBBBBEBBBIBBBBBBflBflBflEBBBBBBBBBBBflEflBIflBflfl3'
