IMPORTANT!: OF PROPER LUB

I wonder how many car owners

of proper lubrication for chassis

Therefore, it is very important
when lubricating this part to see
that grease or oil squeezes out
around the end of bearing.
Particular attention should be
paid to see that steering gear is
properly oiled and free when tak

there are so many cases in which
this cross shaft is not thoroughly

because road splash on the aver
age car removes the lubricant in
the course of a day's run and in
some cases where the steering tie
rod connections and spring shackle
bolts are not well protected, it only
takes a few hours of road splash
to remove and destroy all traces
of oil or grease.
How many of you I wonder have
ever experienced driving into your
garage at night with a steering
gear working perfectly free, but
after standing over night or a few
days, you find it very difficult or
perhaps almost impossible to turn
the wheel. This usually results
from road splash washing the lub
ricant out of steering knuckle pins
and other connections and the
moisture that remains often drys
out over night or in the course of
a few days forming rust, which
very frequently freezes bearings
and connections so tight that it is
unsafe to drive the car to shop for
repairs. Seizure of .bearings Is
more liable to develop in the car

in building Studebaker cars
Why people buy 150,000 yearly
I
T is true that we spend lavishly
on Studebaker cars. But it's all
to your advantage.
It is by that spending that we give
you the greatest value in the fine-car
field. We offer prices no one matches
on any comparable cars.
That lavish spending led people
last year to pay $200,000,000 for
Studebaker, cars. And that volume
brings our prices down to where they
are.
$50,000,000 in plants
Studebaker assets are $90,000,000.
In modern plants and equipment we
have $50,000,000. Seventy per cent
of that amount was spent
in the past seven years.
So it represents the last
word in equipment.
$8,000,000 in drop forge
plants, so every vital part
is made to Studebaker
standards.
$10,000,000 in body
plants, so Studebaker
ideals may be shown in
every body.
All that is staked in a

In closed cars we offer wondrous
luxury; The lining is Chase Mohair,

Note those bumpers, that steel
trunk, those extra disc wheels with

extra courtesy light. Think what
they would cost if you bought them.
The cost of care
The unvarying standards in Stude
baker cars are fixed by a department
to develop.
Frequently cases have develop
ed in which the driver starts out
of his garage with a slight drag in
the steering gear due to above
conditions, but after driving sev
eral miles the steering keeps
tightening up due to rust and grit

Then we pay extr for continuous'
service. Last year, 13,000 men in our
factories got anniversary checks
total $1,300,000. After five years of
service those checks amount to 10
of their wages.
We spend $2,."00,000 yearly on our
co-operative work for men.
, Every year we give actory em

That cost us $225,000 last year. , ,
We sell them stock on attractive

Lack of vibration is a

Matchless endurance is another
famous future. One Studebaker Six,
still in active use, has run 475,000
miles since 1918. We get that through
costly steels. On some we pay 15

Beauty of finish is another su

Leaders in the construction in

winter building movement has
proved a success from, an econo-
wlse to jump info some unknown
land without funds and with no
friends to look after them.
Many Germans seem obsessed
at the present time by the Idea
that they mustleave the lather-
cated. The newspapers have pub
lished this information, and it has
dampened the enthusiasm for life
under a Communist regime.
The government maintains a
special office to deal with those
who would leave the country. It
is presided over by widely traveled
officials who can give advice
about all parts of the world. These
men are so brutally frank in their
statements about countries toward
which visionary emigrants wish to
go that the office has been nick
named the "State Warning Of
fice." . Professional men for the most
part have their eyes on the United
States. One of the best known
German medical journals recently
published an article by a physician
who had passed the examination
to practice in America. The wri
ter said openings were far more
numerous in the United States
than t in South America, and ex
plained that Americans employed
physicians more than do Germans.
But he warned physicians not to
go Jo the United States without
some money and without good
friends to assist them until they
could establish themselves.
