Did you ever stop to think that we can save you money on a Buggy, Hack or Wagon? Can we? I should say we can! We are Manufacturers’ agents. Agents for Studebaker Bros. Mfg Co. South Bend, Ind. who have the largest Wagon and Carriage Manufactory in the World where 75,000 Studebaker Vehicles are turned out annually (A word about the Studebaker Wagon, the lightest running wagon made) There are more Studebaker farm wagons in use today than of any three makes combined. Why? The Studebaker’s popularity rests soley upon its superiority. It is Quality that makes the name “ Studebaker” stand for all that is good in Wagon Making. It is quality which makes the Studebaktr the most economical Farm Wagon that the farmer can buy. (The Stu debaker Quality is the result of two things) A most rigorous inspection and selection of all material which goes into the wagon, and the most careful and skillful workmanship. Nothing is slighted; nothing is overlooked. They are right all the way through. That is why a Studebaker lasts so much longer than the ordinary farm wagon and why the user of a Studebaker has so few repair bills to pay. All the timber used in constructing the Studebqker is selected with special care as to its soundness and freedom from heartwood sap-wood, wind-shakes, Etc. A ll Studebaker gears are ironed with best charcoal American refined Iron, jor soft steel. All Clips, Rivets and Bolts are of best Norway iron. All gears are soaked in pure boiled linseed oil which expels every particle of moisture and keeps it out for all time. This process still further toughens and hardens the already thoroughly seasoned wood. Wheels with slope shoulder spokes— No greater improvement has ever lieen made in wagon construction than the invention and use of the Slope-Shoulder spoke, cha acteristic of the Studebaker wagons only. They excell all other spokes in carrying the greatest amount of wood into the hub, and are strongest just at the shoulder, where the square-tenon spoke is the weakest. HUBS: It goes without saying that the better the hub the better the wheel. Light and small diameter hubs look neat, but if you want a wheel to stand up through all kuids of usage over a long term of years, it is necessary o use a huh which will afford some real foundation for the spokes. Studebaker bubs are large in diameter. Studebaker hubs are turned from strictly sound New England Black Birch. These hubs are immersed in the pure boiled linseed oil, which is heated almost to the boiling point. This prevents all checking, spliting and shrinking. TIR E S: the wheels of the Studebaker wagons are fitted with patented round edge tires of American refined iron. All tires are oil welded which is the liest method known of bringing about a smooth tough and perfect union of two pieces of iron. Studebaker tires are not milled out at random, but each tire is measured and fitted to each separate and individual wheel. This insures a perfect fit every time and guards against-ill-fitting, and quickly loosening tires. SUM M ERY: When you buy a Studebaker Hack, Buggy or Wagon you have the best. You not only have the best but you save money. We not only save you money, but a lot of time and trouble in receiving and setting up.
