A Produuct of General Motors It is hard to believe that you can get so much automobile value per dollar of cost as we can give you in an Olds- mobile. 454 East Yellowstone We believe a Studebaker Sedan is good for five to ten years of use- ful, satisfactory life. We are not positive as to the real life because none has yet worn out. If, when you trade in your car, you learn that. you can get only three or four hundred dollars for it because there isno second-hand market for that make of car, then ciation to arrive at the real cost of the car. The trade-in price of Stude- baker cars shows a very small de- preciation, in many sections the smallest of all makes of motor cars. And there is always aready market for used cars of Stude- baker manufacture. MODELS AND PRICES—f. o. b, factories LIGHT-SIX BI 5-Pass., 112° W. B., 40 H. P\5-Pass.. 119° W. B., 50 H.

Just look under the hood at the Paige-built motor. No car within $200 of the Jewett price has a motor of equal piston displacement—249 cubic inches. And Jewett’s power is not obtained at the expense of high engine speed, with its premature wear. From the six cylinders, 3}x5 inches, a mod- i erate r. p.m. gives peak power. However un- usual the emergency, Jewett never strains to meet it, but handles every situation smoothly and easily. In a word, there’s Paige quality in | every particle of Jewett power.
