Thi sweeping reduction which actually puts tho prifce
of the Model II Lalley below the pre-war basis, pour
and efficiency considered is made for the month pf
May only, and cannot be maintained at that low figrore
unless increased sales coma in sufficient volume to ktfep

While the new low price of WSS will prevail trmmrjh Cie

not it will be continued, and if the sales do not warrant Uca

purta of the country the active tire
buying season opens with the first ot
May, henc it Is the proper time to
make n nerlou effort to establish a
new schedule of tire prices,
"While a reduction of prices during
tho 1 1 J 1 season might not have been
unexpected by the motoring public, it
is safe to say that It came much soon
er and was a isreater reduction tliun
had been anticipated.
"The only question Is whether or not
It Is too low. We feel that our read
justment of prices Is radical and at one
move It puis tire prices at rock bottom.
"Conditions In tho automobile. In

The Ntziy Light-Six now holds the five most important automobile road
records on the Pacific Coast, a remarkable feature being that all the
nniisirs were won by the same car, a stock touring car, within ten weeks
1. Yosimitc National Pafk. A Studebalcer Light
Six, piloted by Hart L. Weaver and carrying a crew of
five men from the Chester N. Weaver Company, was the
first automobile to reach the Yosemite National Park
over my one of the three snow covered reads under its
own power this year. The car went over the narrow
and dangerous Couiterville road, buektr.;; snow ns deep
as ten feet in some places, arriving in Yosemite Valley,
January
2. Round Tiip Record Between San Francisco
:nd Lot Angeles. On February 2 the same car,
driven by Hart L. Weaver and James F. Gurley oi the
Chester N. Weaver Company, established a now round
tr:p record between San Francisco and Los Angeles, a
tisiance of 854.8 rniles, in the sensational time of 21
hours ani 23 minutes.
3. Coast Route tlr"ord from San Francisco tj
Lcs Angeles. On tho round trip record cf February 2
he Studebaker LIGHT-SIX lowered the coast route record
from San Francisco to Los Angeles by 2 hours, 35
iui.-:aus and IT uccrid'i T'ne former r:eord wnn 12

ValJrv Rczis Record Between Los Angeles
t.tid San Francisco. On February 24 the Studebaker
HCHT-Six smashed the valley route record bit ween Los
Angeles a-id San F?3ncisco, running tho distance of 411.1
jXcs in ir.e riiv;.-able time cf 9 hours, 15 minutes anu
52 be'jonc's. This record was made oil the more remark
able cn account of the car having to eo through a dense
fog a distance of more than 100 miles between Tulare
t-r.-t Knvc. The pilots were Hart L. Weaver find
Janiss V. uu.'j.'y.
This is a Stadcbakcr Year
5. Los AngelcsFfioenix Record. On the morning
of March 23 the LiGHT-SiX left Los Angeles in an at
tempt to lower the fifth and only remaining record of
consequence on the Pacific Coast. Tho 422 miios cf
dusert trail from Los Angeles to Phoenix were made in
13 hours 16 minutes, and 2 hours 28 minutes were taken
from the best previous automobile record The railroad
time is 14 hours 20 minutes, or 1 hour 4 minutes slower
than the record established by the LiGHT-SiX.
Hart L. Weaver of the Chester N. Weaver Company,
Stud'.-baker Distributors in San Francisco, made the
following statement after the completion of the Los
Anf lea-Phoenix run:
"These tests have demons' rated on the road ever,
thing that StuJebuker engneers have claimed for the
new LlCHT-SlX-cylindercar. When it is remembered
that tiu bore and stroke of thi3 car is only Hi x 4f,
giving it a piston displacement of 207 cubic inches, and
that the car Vly equipped only weighs 2500 pounds,
those records at 9 all the mora remarkable since most of
them were L-nierly held by heavier cars costing much
rr:r,r: il.an the Studebaker LiGHT-SiX. I am inclined to
believe that the secret of this car's wonderful perform
ance, and readability is 'Hie in a very large measure to its
remarkable balance. Halved cr quartered the parti of
the new LlGHT-SlX would weigh appi oximately the same.
"Jn making the Los Angeles - Phoenix reccrd I am
T ank to confess that despite my faith in the stamina of
Studebaker automobiles I could not believe that any cor
could make the speed over that desert road with its ruts
end chuck holes that was necessary in ordt r to lower the
record by a large margin without falling to pieces. Any
automobile, irrespective of weight, power or price class
that can lower the record established by the Siudebakcr
LiGHT-ix wtU have my most sincere adnnratijiu"
