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

willing to benefit in tho reduced

methods.

They Could Afford
To Spend More .
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.

"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.

r Op The Mongolian Wilds
Dr. Roy Chapman Andrews, who ; startled the
world a few yesrs ego by. discovering. nest of
dinosaur e73 te-n million years eld, 'arrived in
New York" on Xovexr per Oih ::om his Third
.tic E'c'dil".:: n .t.r.c.ZT the auspices of the
American I
"t:.T..l History.
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.
