Look over the Studebnker owners in the La Crande territory. They are substantial, conservative, successful citizens. They have a reputation for Rood judg ment. Tliey do not expect an cxhorhitunt price on a used car traded in. 15nt they do expet? hih value in the new car they pur chase. That they are convinced of Studebaker value is shown by their Studebaker owner ship. Ask those you see driving the new Sludebakers then come in, see and drive for yourself. .Ml Si! :SS Studebaker Sales and Service.
