"LITTLE GIANT" STOPS BACK-ROLLING
Better known as Studebaker's exclusive, automatic Hill Holder,
tbt "Little Giant" shown in the man's band above, is the
mechanism which, as part of Studebaker's hydraulic braking
system, prevents the car from rolling backward when stopped
on an up-grade. The driver of the Studebaker in the photo
graph above is holding the car on a 26 grade by merely
keeping the clutch pedal depressed. The right fool is free to
operate the foot accelerator for a smooth start forward. When
the Hill Holder is used, the car will not roll back at all. it

ONE of the truly great rivers of the world, the Columbia finds its rise
among the giant mountain peaks of Canada before crossing the
border to reach the sea at Astoria, Oregon. The 460 miles that the
Columbia runs through British Columbia are turbulent miles and much
of the distance is paralleled by the motor highways which follow the
spectacular Columbia Valley. The actual source of the river, Columbia
Lake, can be reached from Spokane, Washington, or by driving north
from Yellowstone Park. The road leads directly to Canada's famous
national parks, Yoho and Kootenay in British Columbia and Banff in w
Alberta. The photographs show three of the scenes along the route.
