Until recently Europeans looked upon tho Auu-rican car aa iufrrior to their home product; they re garded Aniertran nuanlity produc tion merely as a means of obtaining larger outpui at low cost. They were, then-fore, easily swayed by .patriotic, appeals that they should support their home industry. " However, now (hat American cars have demonstrated that they arc as Rood as Kurope's best, dol lar for dollar,, its people are quite willing to benefit in tho reduced costs obtained under American methods. Dlman's forecast for preaier buy ins applies especially to Germany, which for tho first time in. years is in position to take a Uuxe num ber of American cars.

Many of the' 50 motorists who purchased new Studebakers in 1925 could afford to spend more for a car but they asked themselves, "What more would that extra money actually buy?" They are motorists whose judgment is respected, whose appreciation for real value is founded on experience. , . They could have afforded to pay $5000 for a car; many of them, but picked the Studebaker at $io00 to . $2200 because it gives as complete motoring satisfaction as anyone wants comfort, performance, good looks. "Unit Built" Studebakers sold on the "One Profit" plan are . . worthy of your careful con sideration. See them on our floor today. M. J- - Goss Studebaker Sales and Service. "This Is A Studebaker Year" "Grand-Datldv Dig Six" Travels 500,000 Miles Two decades ago, if a motor car ran I went y miles without requir ing someone (o get out and pet un derwit was sonu thing to be talked of. Home cars, when worn out, had accomplished as much as 5iun miles: Today-- there are car users who drive their cars &(mmi miles a month. The tremendous reserve mileage built into vei!-eoiisy-urted j. resent day cars is revealed by the "first roll rail of J tio.oon-mile Si ideba kiis" takvn by that company. The roil call included 1 !Ul KDt- (leiniKers Dial, had traveled over liMi.noo miles. This list, is by no mians eoiiiph to as there are hun dreds of Liiehe long nilieagi; cars that, have never come to the atten tion of the Studebaker corporation. (if the.se i-jit cars, 24 had travel ed over 2'0ti, (!) nub s and 4 had traveled over S'ni.fmo. In the Stu dt baker museum at. South Itend is I he "Grand-daddy Dig Six" which, he:ore It was ei ircd, had traveled more, than T,'.io,000 miles. Theye extra miles of service rest squarely on the foundation of What the manufacturer puis into tho car, in i he way of engineering, materials and workmanship. 146.7S8 Ford Cars and Trucks Sold in Jiont!: All records for' ej-riy' while r'ord Kales were broken durin ; November- when Dpi. 7 passen ger cars and trucks were deliver ed to retail customers in tho Dr. ited States.

Ags-in he attributes much of the success of his expedition to the astounding performance of his five Dodge Brothers Motor. Cars. '. Following is a direct quotation from an official statement by Dr. Andrews upon his return to x America: The Gobi Desert in Mongolia Is the most extensive I'-t'sveloped and unexplored re gion oo'.v left in the world. Until a. few years ago it was retarded by the impossibly slow traffic of camel trains, the only means of communication. But now it is being crisscrossed in every direction by motor cars, or, more correctly by one mofcr car, the Dodge. Sixty or . seventy Dodge Brothers cars are making regular trips far into the interior of this vast waste, hanging cut loads of sables, precious -furs, vool arri other products. No other car except the Dodge is found there because we have tlcd it out on each of our . three expeditions and have had it demon stratcd to our satisfaction that the Dodge is the only car that vfdl stand vp under the strain of the roadless desert and do every" thing tva ash cf it. Few people have occasion . to subject their motor cars to punishment of this severity. It is reassur ing, however, to know that in emergencies Dodge Brothers Motor Car is built o meet the test. These dependable and sturdy qualities also ac count for the fact that more than 90 So of all the motor cars Dccc Brothers have built during the past eleven yzc-s?, iiro t:il in active service. 1L. i.
