Announcement, is made today by The Studebaker Corporation of America . of discontinuing the cus torn of presenting a new line of aut'omoblles each year. . a j ' Instead of bringing Studebaker cars dramatically, up-to-date once intwelve months, this company proposes to keep them up-to-daie all the time, adding improvements and refinements from- time , to time, as the merit of such better ments is proved to the satisfaction of ; Studebaker's engineering de partment, which, the Corporation points out is maintained at a cost of a half million dollars annually, Studebaker - believes : that this policy benefits present Studebak er owners.. It is also. the belief of this concern that the policy of no ."yearly" models enables pur chaser ot new cars to obtain mod els that are always niodren, with out the necessity of waiting for annual changes ; and without the danger of their new cars becom ing absblete. 1- -1 The dramatic success of . the prssnt line of Studebaker cars Is one reason for this omportant change.
