COLUMBUS, OHIO, HAS JOINED the list of cities which greet new residents with a Welcome Car. When
a new family settles in town, the city's official hostess makes a welcome call in this smart Studebaker
Brougham, and puts herself and the car at the family's disposal to assist them in getting established. New
families receive samples of various Columbus products and coupons entitling them to courtesies at the
principal stores and business establishments.
