Note answer: WE REALIZE, AND WE BELIEVE YOU REALIZE, that buying an automobile is a serious thlnr. You want. your first car to be your only car. That means WEAR real wear and wear is backed up only by SERVICEreal service. THERE ARE TWO THINGS THAT MAKE THIS POS SIBLE the car itself, and the klndof service back of It ' Let's consider the car itself. Now, if you can set a car at $1 300 that has the characteristics of a $2000 car, you are going to save tha . J5700, are you not ? 1 - THE COMMON MISTAKE IN BUYING A CAR IS TO CONSIDER THE CAR-ONLY as it looks. We say look be yond, or rather behind there you will find the promise of the, future in an' E. M. F. "30". or a Flanders "20." Ask, like Shakespeare, "What's in a name?" The most complete answer to that question is found in "Studebaker," with its 60 years of r business experience, its 5,000,000 factories and its famous guar- i antee. Do you think they would choose to give, anything but "the utmost in value," as found only in an E. M. F"30V. or a Flanders "20"? Smashed world's records; on track jneet and 4 durability contests back up this assertion. - 1 -J-.. . . -ii-'i t :.5 v. . .v. i. . ! a .
