They Could Afford To
Spend More
Many of the leading owners of the New Studebukers in the Ln
fl ramie community could afford to spend more for a car -r- but they
asked themselves, "What more would that extra money actually buy?"
They are owners whose judgment is respected, whose appreciation
for real value is founded on experience. They could have afforded
$5000 for a car, niany'of them, but picked the Studebaker at $1500 to
f.2200 because it gives .is complete motoring Satisfaction as anyone
wants comfort, performance, good looks. -
Such value is possible .only because of Studobaker one-profit pro
duction. . .

Starting Off
On A Motor Trip
It's one event when you should take particular
pains to see that everything is provided for.
The wise motorist lets Playle's check over his
tires, grease the car throughout, change to Tex
aco oil, and fill up with Texaco gas.
With that done, your trip starts out right and
is more likely to end up right. Drive in or
we'll get your car and return it (o your ditor
