In this way, you will quickly familiarize yourself with the various parts, where grease cups and oilers are located, etc. Examine the Tool Kit. Take out the tools and look them over! Some manufacturers provide a fine kit—but others, I am sorry to say, supply only those that are ab- solutely necessary. For instance,— they will supply one large adjust- able wrench, and perhaps two or three set wrenches, whereas a good set wrench for every important nut and bolt on the car. Try out the various tools and wrenches and make certain that you have one for the different sized nuts and bolts. There are usually a few tools and wrenches made specially by the manufacturer to fit certain parts. Among these might be men- tioned the wheel cap wrench, the pump wrench, starting handle, etc. Whatever you do, put these tools in a'safe place, for if they get lost they are usually costly and difficult vo replace. Correcting Door Rattles Is Easy A simple and efficient cure, al- though it is not of a permanent na ture, is the fitting between the door and its pillars of rubber studs. which are especially made for the purpose. ‘They conrist of a smal! nail or pin, the head of which is embedded in a semt-spherical head of rubber. They should be preferably let into a re cess, cut with a brace and bit in the pillar; they will be found to si- lence door rattle for a considerable period and can be renewed in a few seconds when worn. These studs can be obtained for a few cents a dozen from any coachbuilcers’ supplier or accessory dealer, -— > Auto Lap Robes make dandy Christmas presents, Big-Six 5-Passenger Coupe $2550 1924 Model FARM OFFERS BIGGEST FIELD _ FORSALE OF THE AUTOMOBILE “Where are all the cars going?” 1s a question which the city man of- ten asks.

It is true that the farmer owns 30 per cent of the automobiles and s by far the heaviest single user of motor transportation, but he consti- tutes 441 per cent of the populae tion.

These statements and those which follow are based cn the sub-division of registration for 1922 as prepared by the.Motor Loat company, and the latest available figures of popula- lation as supplied by the United States bureau of the census for 1920. From these figures its seems prob- able that the biggest increase in use af the automobile in the next few years will come in farming areas No occupation gets more value out of the motor car and appare a large part of the need is as yet un- supplied.

The Big-Six will take the steepest hills on high. It will maintain a high rate of speed over long stretches hour after hour. Yet no car is better adapted to constant city use. None provides more restful riding—none is easier to operate. None is freer from frequent repairs. And all the equipment you will ever want or need is an integral part of the car. It is complete even to an extra tire cover (two disc wheel with tire, tube and on Sedan); handsome nickel- plated bumpers, front and rear; and large enam- eled steel trunk. The low prices of the Big-Six closed cars are due to large volume and to the fa- hat Studebaker overhead is shared by three models—all Sixes.

With the exception of rural use, the density of motor cars to popula- tion decreases as the towns increase in size.

With the first temperature drop below the freezing point, check up on the oil in your crankcase. Most of the popular makes of cars require a lighter bodied oil for efficient cold-weather lubrication. They need an oil that won’t congeal to the point of sluggishness in a cold motor and thus fail to reach many of the vital, moving parts before deadly friction gets in its work. It is easy to guard against this needless wear and tear, You are’safe and sure if you consult the Polarine Chart— NOW—get the grade of Polarine recommended for winter use in your car and then stick to that grade throughout the cold-weather season.

How did we happen to think of it? A woman who got tired of driving an old fashi open car with curtains flapping and the wind blowing down her neck, bought a two-door Brougham. She was delighted—at—first—until she got tired of having the passengers in the rear seat climb over her to get out— antil she got tired of having her friends walk around the f the mud to get in. Of course she saw a great flock of manufacturers stamped- ing to build a cheap, two-dgor car—because two doors are cheaper than four. i So we built the Four-Door Brougham in well recognized Jordan quality, at a quantity price.
