Studebaker Cars
Hold Many Climb
And Speed Marks
Models of the American automobile
which holds more stock car speed
and thU climbing records than all
other American makes combined are
to be exhibited in this city as a
part of the coming Studebaker cara
van. These cars are the Studebaker
Commander Eight and Dictator Eight.
A splendid Idea of the stuff that
Is built Into each Studebaker car was
recently given In the Memorial day
races at Indianapolis, when a Stuuc
baker eight, driven by .Cliff Bergere,
finished in third place, ond drove the
GOO miles faster than any Indianap
olis winner hud ever driven up to
1032.
JAlthouGh Bei'RCH'e f showing was
outstanding in this race, each of the
other four eighth, which made up the
Studebaker team of five cars in tho
race, made high records. Bergere fin
ished third In his Studebaker; an
other Studebaker finished sixth, an
other 13th, another 15th. and the
fiftli one finished 10th.
Originally there were. 27 cars en
tered for itbe -race, but only 40 quali
fied, among themi being the fly
Studebakers. Only 17 cars were nble
to finish at the gruelling speed
. drivqn. The first three cars to fin
ish, one of them Borgere's Studeba
ker, all broke the former record, set
by Peter de Paolo In 1025.
This latest exhibition of Studeba
ker speed and stamina adds another
splendid performance to the long list
which marks Studebaker cars ns al
most In a class by themselves, cars
which hold tho greatest record of of
the drive or 30.000 miles in 26,000
minutes elapsed time.

brilliant new modes and new
values . . . for a brief but i
important
Two Days Only June 22 and 23
There is an agreeable surprise back of this announce
ment for scores of people who have always thought of
Pierce-Arrow cars as too expensive. t
The fact is, as brilliantly demonstrated in this
presentation, Pierce-Arrow ownership is today an
easily achieved distinction.
So, if you admire fine cars, you are urged fo see
the new Pierce-Arrow Twelves and Eights and
ride in them without the least obligation.
If you are a fine car owner, you will doubtless
be personally asked to pass judgmenfon these lat
est expressions of beauty and luxury in motor cars.
The purchasing power of today's dollar, where
the finer things are concerned, has never been more
dramatically revealed than in this distinguished
exhibit.
A famed engineer recently said: "Pierce-Arrow
has this year contributed the most remarkable
expression of fine car value, and the most wonder
fully performing cars I have ever seen."
You are cordially invited to form your own
opinion at your earliest convenience.
