Your confidence is what Studebaker seeks to keep Possessing this confidence, we have never tried to produce a cheap wagon. We could, but we don't dare try the experiment. Our constant aim has been to produce the best wagon. And in living up to this highest standard, we have won and hold the confidence and good-will of hundreds of thousands of farmers all over the world. Studebaker wagons are built to last, to do a day's work every day, to stand up under stress and strain and to make the name Studebaker stand for all that is best in vehicles. Don't accept any other wagon represented to be just as good as a Studebaker. The substitute may be cheaper, but it isn't up to Studebaker standards, and you can't afford to buy it. For business or pleasure, there is a Studtbaktr vehicle suited to your requirements. Farm wagons, trucks, business wagons, surreys, buggies, runabouts, pony carriages each the best of its kind. Harness also of the same high Studebaker standard. See out Dtaltt or write w. STUDEBAKER South Bend, lnd. NKW YORK MINNEAPOLIS CHICAGO DALLAS KANSAS CITY DENVEB SALT LARS CITY SAN FRANCISCO PORTLAND.
