Studebaker Prices
to Advance Sept. -15
Last Big Manufacturer cf Motor
cars to Take this Step- Long
Term Contracts and Great Re
seiye Stock cf Raw Material?
Responsible for Maintaining
Present Low Price? During Sum

"The increased cost of material' '
and labor has finally furred us l
announce an inn-ease in prices oi
all models," says L. J. Oilier, vin
president and director of Sale? r,l
the Studebaker Corporation. ' ' li ul
this increase will not heroine cfl'ec
tive until September 15th.
Materials entering into the con
struction of Studebaker cara havi
advanced anywhere from 25 to 101
per cent and in eome instances,
considerably more. Because ol
large purchases, and long term
contracts for raw materials made
last summer, we are able to'eon
tinue our present low prices. But
at the present rate of production
and the popular demand for 8tud
baker cars which is rapidly ex
hausting all materials purchased
at old prices, it is necessary for us
to announce the increased pi ices to
take effect September 5th.
It has always been a hard and
fast Studebaker policy to give the
customer the beuefit of low prices
as long as possible and I want to
make it clear that we arr increas
ing prices only in proportion with
the increase in the cost of manu
facturing Studebaker cars under
prevailing conditions.
The pric-3 ot the Studebakei
'Tour" touring car. will be in
creased from f 955 to $1050, and
the "Si's touring' car from -f 1250
to 1335, All other models, includ
ing our commercial cars, will be
increased proportionately."
