Have You Noticed
The Superior Finish Of The
New Studebaker
Closed Models?
Carefully examine the. uphol
stery and appointments you will
find nothing omitted nothing
simply thrown together in a shod
dy manner but you will be
pleased with the high-grade ma
terial used throughout. All this
is possible because Studebaker
cars are manufactured and not
assembled. One big plant with
unlimited resources and enormous
facilities is devoted exclusively to
making Fine Motor Cars.
You will be pleased with the
price, too one profit is all you
pay. Excess value- is reflected
in every model.
Di-op in today. A demonstra
tion will convince you that all we
claim for the Studebaker is backed
by facts.
