Remember, with Studebaker, Quality Alwaya- Price the Secondary consideration. Before mammoth crowds at the great est race of tho season the Venice (irund Prix, tho western classic race that takes the ploco of tho old San' a -Monica, the Maxwell ears of Barmy Oldfield and Hilly Carlson created a new precedent in American automobile racing by win ning first and second plnccs. In this, ono of the most rcmnikable speed contests seen in recent racing events, with over n score of the best American nnd foreign cars entered, and with five of the world's most ilnr- inff pilots in lino to win until the Inst mile, Barney Oldfield, "World's Mas ter Driver" in a speedy Maxwell racer won first place, nnd made the hard grind of over 300 miles without a single stop, or change of gears, at un average speed of 6S'a miles per hour. Time: 4 hours, 24 minutes, 9 2-5 sec onds. , "Sure Finish" Billy Carlson, tenm mato of Oldfield, drove his Maxwell, winning second place and with but one short stop of 7 seconds to his credit. His time was 4 hours, 21 minutes, 43.3 seconds. Ituc.kstell in a Mercer won third pluco with time of 4 hours, 27 minutes, 27 sccoihIh, and John Murpuis in a Buggetti finished 4th, Oldfield 's 8econd Non-Stop. The time made bv Oldfield and Carl son wns 10 miles lia hour faster than the Clrnnd Prize nnd nenrly 2 miles faster than that of the Vaudcrliilt. For tho second time in u few months, Oldfield established n non-stop record, equalling his own performance with the Maxwell at Corona, Thanksgiving day, when he drove .'(00 miles without a singlo stop and made a new world's non-stop record. Carlson, the second pilot on the Mnx well team, crossed the line less thun half a minute behind Oldfield, But for his short stop for oil ho might have added tho fourth 300 mile non-stop record to tho long list of Muxwell achievements. At Snn Diego but a few weeks ago ho drove his car 305 miles without a stop and won second place. This latest victory was as much a tribute to Maxwell consistency nnd ef ficiency ob to the Maxwell succd and spoke volumes for superior construe- i tiou as well as wonderful driving. Studebaker Cars Lead j All la California: Vick Bros, handling tho Studebaker in this city say: !

"As the l!U5 sales nre already above whi.t they were for the snme period of time in l'.MI, they increased over 400 per cent last year, there is no doubt in the world that this year will set' the record far above last.
