Test out its luxury, not from the standpoint of one or two, but four, or six, or seven. Prove to yourself that the comfort of all, combined, is complete that it leaves nothing to be desired. We do not merely mean complete comfort in the matter of space and room. We mean the impossibility of finding a car at any price which renders motoring more restful to mind and body. We mean that quality of clinging to the road, while skimming over It, which is an expression of the perfect distribution of weight in an essentially light car. We mean that absence of noise, and struggle, and strain, in the motor, which proves its perfect balance that nice co-ordination which enables the engine to pick up speed without imparting a particle of tremor or vibration to the car. We mean the freedom from swinging and swaying the steady, straight-on sensation the sense of inexhaustible power, -tha "give" and accommodation of springs to every road variation. We mean a dozen different evidences of scientific design and scientific manufacturing all of which combined lull the nerves into com plete relaxation and comfort. A family demonstration in the Studebaker SEC means a united family choice. i STUDEBAKER DETROIT The Oregon Motor Car Co Chapman and Alder Sts.
