Gardner -Four. Beats Every

omy Run, SecondTime-
- Averaging 28.8 miles to the fal
len, r gasoline, and using but one
pint or oil and two pints of water
over the entire 3 6 0-mile trip, the
Gardiner Pour won the first place
W. Pettyjohn, local dealer.
This la the second time within
three years the Gardner, has won
cup in it class 2-E In the seventh
annual; Los Angeles Yosemite Val
ley Economy Ron, according to
information just received by P.
the classic The car was piloted
by A..S. Robers, the same driver
who won; the event in 1921. Not
only this, batj the Gardner toot
fourth in the grand sweepstakes
for all classes,- being the lowest
prieed .car to .' place. The car
averaged 49.92 ton miles per gal
lon of gasoline. '. Ton mileage Is
determined by multiplying the
gross weight of the: car in tons
by the number of miles traveled
and diViding by the , number of
gallons of gasoline consumed. v
' The country through which the
contestants drove varies In ele
vation from sea-level to 6899 feet.
Including as it ' does some of the
most tortuous climbs in the coun
try, the , route is ? well chosen, to
test the - stamina, flexibility and
power of a car as well as its econ

To those contemplating a long
cross-country: tour .this summer,
there are - sereral rery Important
subjects in connection; with pre
paring the ear, that ; were pur
posely omitted i from our; spring
house-cleaning series. .. These will
be covered in" the near future,
Since the first thing a prospec
tive tourist thinks of is route in
formation, we will deal with that
immediately. j :
Above all, do not gain a false
imprsslon - of road conditlofis. It
Is perfectly, natural that the spon
sors of various trails across con
tlnent 'will exaggerate the 'desir
able condition of their respective
routes. However, . every man
experiences, and, If he is told
' through newspapers - and maga
zlnes that a certain route is im
proved. throughout its length, and
selects a particular route on the
strength of this Information, , he
is a dissatisfied customer. If prom
ises are , not fulfilled:
' Recently ah article came .to my
attention In the automobile sec
tion of a Sunday newspaper. It
was dated Washington; April 21,
discussing Improvement along the
Lincoln highway. The heading
in large black type read: ' '"The
Lincoln" Highway 90 , per cent
paved." Having crossed the Lin
coln highway last eummer, I
knew this statement : was false.
However, since I acted as polit
onthe first path-finding tour 'for
12 to 29 per cent grades. ,; ;j
Starting in front of the- Los
Angeles" Automobile club, where
all cars were carefully checked by
judges, the road leads to Fresno,
then . winds up thruoghHerndon
and ' Madera, through Raymond,
1000 feet higher. Grub gulch, at
an altitude of 2600' feet, passes
Miami ' lodge at" an elevation of
4000 feet, on through Fish Camp
and "Wawona, passes the Big Trees
and up the steep pitch to China
quapln,' 6250 feet, and-then down
into Camo Curry In the Yosemite
I valley1, the end of the trip."

It, 'ill
the sponsors of the Lincoln high
way In the summer of 1913,
when a group of prominent citi
zens from the If oosier stale
preached good roads and pioneer
ed the Lincoln highway name )n
the small and large hamlets on the
first route proposed from Indi
ana to California, I am therefore
keenly interested In acOritie
along the present route. I read '
the entire article in question, as
any ' prospective tourist might
and found the "true" meaning of
the heading was in the last, par
agraph, which read in substance.
"90 percent from New York City
to 45 miles west of the Mississip
pi RiTer."
To car owners in our great
farming states of the west and
south, there is little to be said
concerning dirt roads, except vote
for pared and gravel surfaced
roads, when yon get a chance.
Thy will more than pay in the
long run. However, to the tour
let accustomed ; only Col city
streets- or those living in Calif
ornia and east where countless
miles of improved roads ; prevail,
a new thrill is in store tor them
when meeting with a sudden
Slimmer ' shower on a ; perfectly
crowned dirt road, or when cross
ing some of the dirt' and adobs
flats in the desert valleys, j.-. .-
Road conditions might . be
summed up briefly as follows tor
trans-continental ! touring: :
From Atlantic ports north of
the Carolinas on the Lincoln high-
early spring tours. Therefore, re
member that on . the. northwest
routes you can get through earlier
on the Spokane to Portland route,
and from Salt Lake City on the
Gold field ,and Las Vegas routes,
while the : routes through , New
Mexico and Arizona are pretty
much all year routes.
After several,' more articles on
cross-country and ; trans-continental

cars, consisting of 120 Light-Sixes
has just been shipped from the
big Studebaker factories at South

Sales company of Newark, N. T.
, This shipment is unusual in two
respects. First, the entire 120
cars have been sold at retail and
will be delivered to waiting buy

second, It is believed It represents
the largest shipment to one deal

Vast Resources Make Possible
High Value at Low Price in
Sttidebaker UghuSix
Stadebaker's vaatt resources are tttaircd to rjoana
faeture (not assemble) the Ligbt-Six compJete in
the newest and nust modern la
in the world. 6'-
The Corporation's resxmrcea, consisting of
$8S,(X)0r000 of actual net assets, fnrfrtdrng $45,0,
000 of plants make ft pftesibie for Stadebaker to
oEer a six-cyfinder car, a less than $100, that is
emphatically superior in yiesign, construction, per-.: .
formance, comfort and dependability,' to any car
within hundreds of dollars of its price.
, By complete marxefacture, Studebaker not only -guards
the quaty of each part, but saves the mid
dlemen's profits, with the result that no other make
. of car ever boSt, by anyone, at any price, represents
so great a cksOar-for-doZter value as the Light-Six.
Evidence of its mechanical superiority is found in
its practical freedom from vibration. This is accom
plished by the perfect balance of the motor. Perfect '
balance! is obtained largely through the complete
machiacng of aQ surfaces of the crankshaft and .
connecting rods. This requires 61 precision oper-
ations. ' '' -.,- 'j
. . This method is followed exclusively by Studebaker
I on canvat this price. In fact, very few other cars
have this; feature, and their prices are from three .
toten times as great as that of the Light-Six. .
It is significant, therefore, that the sale of more
than 80,000 Studebaker cars during the first six
months of this year broke all records.
Bayers are justified in expecting more for their
money in a Studebaker than in any other car. . .
