You'll not require that much mileage; you have a new car before you travel tiiat distance. BUT you do want a car with that amount of smite buili into it! You want that kind of a car because it means that your annual depreciation is small you have a car with high resale value. That's what Studebaker ownership means. And remember, there are no year ly models to add depreciation. See the new Studebaker yourself. No greater value than this unusual one-profit car. IM. Goss Studebaker Sales and Service.

You only have to run a car on your tires; wo have to run our business on ours. We selected RACINE Tires because thev have lived up to their good name for fifteen years. Greater sales, greater enthu siasm than ever before greeted this compariaon-prooi Jew ett Coach. And no wonder! For in roominess and fine riding qual ity in quality of detail in sheer ability on the road in value, jewett Coach leads the field. . Here is roominess like in big sedans only without their bulk. We recently added more roominess. And added length gives amazing new riding ease. Take any road you find at the speed you like to ride. Jewett Coach will do it restfully. Never Such Performance! To drive Jewett Coach is to experience a brand of perform ance that's utterly new and amazing. Power that pulls the hardest hills on high and car ries you along open stretches at 60 and better. You'll realize that Jewett has put two to three thousand dollar engineering into a car that sells for $1245. That's why Jewett performance is taken for granted wherever motor cars are sold. And you ca.i expect this kind of performance from Jewett Coach for years without worry of upkeep cost, for it's a sturdy, well-built car through out. That's why Jewett is worth more than ordinary cars. Because Jewett has been unwilling to sacrifice quality in a single detail. " August Jewett sales this year exceed August, 1924, by 13 IS, emphatic proof of this car's greet new value.
