Business Was Bom
There are many pros and cens on the different de
vices sprung on the buying public this year. In the
final analysis, the public is still the testing labora
tory for novelties, new things or what not, that are
put on automobiles these days.
Frcm testing cars driven by experienced testers, try
ing to develop this cr that contrivance, the finished
product may prove favorable. However, the first
thing the owner wants to know is whether this or
that change is a good one. No cne will contradict

public are the ones.
Studebaker's attitude on front wheel brakes is not to

The following is what the driver says of a Big Six
Studebaker belcnging to Chas. Howard of the Howard-Grimes
Auto Stage, running between Medford
and Klamath Falls:
"How is the old boat, Bob?"
"Fine!"
"How far have you driven it?"
"Eighteen thousand ninety-six miles."
"How far had she run when you took it?"
"Thirteen thousand nine hundred and four miles."
"What is the extent of repair parts?"
"I have never had a part changed except springs.
We have installed a new set of springs to take care
of the heavy loads we have hauled over those tough
roads."
"Have ycu had any trouble with brakes in the moun
tains?" "No, I have always been able to stop any old place!"
He informed us that upon his return from Pcriland
that he expects to purchase a Light Six Studebaker.
