-free wheemc
not the feature of a season
but the future of an industry
INFORMED automotive engineers knew the whole future of the
motor car was affected when Studebaker successfully Introduced
Free Wheeling with positive gear control on July 10, 1930.
These men recognized atonce that Studebaker had solved a problem
as old as motoring the problem of controlling momentum and putting
it to work.
They knew that Free Wheeling, as Studebaker offered it, went
straight to the root of applied dynamics-giving the car that offered it
a superiority which no car without it could contest.
That Is why you are hearing so much more about Free Wheeling
today than you did when Studebaker first introduced it. If all cars
had it now, the public would save hundreds of millions of dollars in
gasoline and oil expense every year.
Froe Wheeling has brought Studebaker thoroughness and initiative
into the limelight more conspicuously than ever.
Today every Studebaker gives you Free Wheeling. All cars will be
aspiring to give it to you tomorrow. It gives you 10,000 miles of
travel for 8,000 miles of engine effort greatly reduced operation
and maintenance cost new safety new case of driving.
It means much that these cars come to you with the greatest en
gineering advancement since the electric starter. But it means even
more that they bear the name of Studebaker, distinguished in trans
portation for more than half the lifetime of the American nation.
Studebaker can are priced f. o. b. factory from $795 to $2600

Butter Shortage
Strengthens Tone
PORTLAND, Jan. 22 OP) Increas
ing shortage of fresh butter receipts

Prime, firsts at 24 cents were also up
a cent while the exchange continued
to quote firsts unchanged at 21 cents.

It difficult to fill orders from the

A corresponding advance of 1 cent
a pound In butterfat bids was an
nounced by creameries.
Eire trading was of only fair pro
portion with receipts more than
ample and some aeaxers iorcing saies
