DRIVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE
Weather forecasts for motorists
seem to be the next step in auto
mobile safety, according to analys
es of P accidents "in larger cities
indicating that bad weather x with
uncertain id r i v i n k conditions
brings sharp upward trends in
fatal and nonfatal traffic accidents
statistics. , :
In proof of needed action along
this line, Chicago safety authori
ties point out that wet pavements
during the 24 hours of Septem
ber 15 caused five deaths and 14
serious injuries alone not to men
tion scores' of non-reportable ac
cidents. A heavy rain, obstruct
ing vision of motorists and, caus
ing cars without 1 non-skid chains
to slip and slide about -the streets,
combined with jay walking and
reckless driving, boosted the year's
total traffic deaths for the city
to 540. an average of more' than
two a day for the 258 days of the
year. ... ..
Skidding motor trucks and priv
ate cars predominated in the day's
accidents. No taxicabs were in
volved in the serious' or fatal ac
cfdents, the reason advanced being

SEAL HARBOR, j Me. J One
hundred years of pro'sperity looms
for the United 'States, declared
Henry Ford Thursiy as he dwelt
on the importance; of proper pay
ment for services rendered by em
ployees. , - "I believe in . good
wages." he declared; "I pay them.
It makes prosperity If you don't
pay good wages If On hurt lyour

Speaking of his airplane plans,
he' said: "The airplane of the
future in my mind, lis a combina
tion of dirigible, -heavier-than-air
plane and helicopter. We are
working toward that, end now
That gives you stability and speed
and the ability to navigate! more
easily."

, , SALES FOR AUGt'ST
: IXDIANOPOLlJ. j ind. Addi
tional evidence of ; the growing
demand for; the new Marmon is
given in a statement by H. H.
Brooks, new general director ol
sales. Factory shipments in August
were more than :doub!e those fn
August of 1924, be- said, and re
tail sales orders are far in excess
of the available supply. - - r . ; :
-.Loeal sales of. Marmon cars
have been mounting steadily since J
tlons give assurance .that thejyear
if-
19254will exceed)
previous
year at the local iMarmon branch
THEHE arc (as you probably know) only
two manufacturers who .actually build
their ars complete make all tljeir own
bodies, engines, clutches, steering" giears, dif
ferentials, springs, gear sets, axles, jjray iron
castings and drop forging. . . J,
One of these is Ford in the low priced
' field. The other is Studcbaker in th fine car
field. - j : : . " ' -j
Because we eliminate the extra profits and
overhead that many other rrianufactuyers have
to pay to outside parts and body-iakcfV-we
are able to use finer materials and work
manship j et charge no more than competing
. cars. . . j ' . . - ' .j
But there is another side to One-Profit manufacture a
feature that no careful buyer can afford to overlook.
Under this t)ne-Profit policy the entire car is designed,
engineered and manufactured as a complete, coordinate
harmonious unit in. Studcbaker plants.' Being Unit-Built it
functions as a unit. And this adds: years 'to its life gives
you scores of thousands of miles ofj excess transportation
greater riding comfort minimum repair costs and, finally,
higher resale value. , '.
" Examine the Standard Six Coach closely make detailed
. comparisons with other cars and I you trill understand the
full meaning of One-Profit value, j
A Coach of quality
It is called a coach only because j it is the lowest priced
closed car ever sold by Studebaker, But it is a quality car
through and through. !
. -i - . .- i.
,,, Do not buy this coach with the expectation that you'll
'hive to trade it in at the end of a year or so. It's not a
one-year car. . f '
V Instead, it has been honestly built to give you scores of
thousands of miles of dependable service. -
Notice the durable wool upholstery. See the heavy, orna
mental hardware; the plate glass windows and' windshield;
the fine trim to hide all tacks; the clock.Vnl 'gasoline JWige.
on dash; automatic windshield cleaner; stop lig!.t ; locks on
ignition, steering gear, door and spare-tire carrier all
operated by a single key.
Tht tteerlng mechanism U atptdatty
designed for taiy driving with,
the iif balloon tires
These are all features that you can easily .
see. But down underneath that glistening,
coat of metallic enamel youTi find the same
quality of materials and workmanship that
are' out in the open.
' The sturdy frame for the body is built from ' "
the fine northern ash and hard, maple. Slam ,
the door and the sound "says quality. Under
neath the upholstery youll find two layers of
washed, quilted cotton, one layer of genuine .
C4rj.c4hair and extra long springs closely
iield together by small coil springs.' This is
the identical cushion and seat construction
used in the highest priced cars.. . x
. Long resilient springs made ot special
chrome Vanadium steel give greater 1uoyancy and protec- ,
tion from road shocks.' . - .-
The crankshaft is completely machined on all surfaces to
eliminate vibration. And the motor is the most powerful in
any car of this size and weight, according to the, rating of t
the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce.' It. is a
"motor built for smooth, trouble-free service at S.to 55
miles an hour not for excessive speed or spectacular stunts. ,
-'-i The body is smart in. appearance yet .provides ample -
room to seat five passengers in real comfort Ample room to ' "
'enter or leave without disturbing occupant of folding seat.
" . : -:f . '" Make comparisons before you buy .... ,
These are advantages made possible by One-Profit manu
facture,"' Check them off point by point in comparison with -other
coaches! : . ,
. Only after you have seen this One-Profit Studebaker with
its Unit-Built construction, will you realize why it offers a -value
that cannot be obtained in any other car. It is the
automobile equivalent of Pullman transportation. '
. The Studebaker policy of. "no yearly models" is a further .
protection to ormers. -Under this policy Studebaker cars are
always up to date- rxe add improvements from time to time t
and do hot save them up for spectacular annual announcements
which make cars artificially obsolete'. ' .. . . .
