It is probably the most divergently useful car ever drought out and an unusually large demand fdr it is expected from al! classes of people. ‘This truly remarkable creation, lke the famous Willys Knight coupesedan has doors both front and rear. The frout and rear seats can be easily and quickly adjusted to three distinctly different post- tions, permitting a tall driver to manipulate the foot pedals without any uncomfortable cramping of his lees. By the same token, a shart | driver can adjust the driver's seat so that he can easily reach the ped ale without stretching. At the same time the rear seat can be moved tack so that the passangers on that seat will not be crowded in the Yeast when the front seat is moved | backward. Another uncommon characteristic | 6f the Champion is that both front | and rear seats and upholstery can be entirely removed and made up into a luxurious bed right in the car, dccupying the whole length and width of the car. n itself will boon to motor campers. | nother clever feature | e r is the odd ar- red, the rear seat out, of this versat rangement wl and upholstery can be providing fifty cuble f space for the salesn caves, trunks er’s . while the camper will rejoice in this | available room for camping duffel pment that is neces- y port all of which can be loaded through the rear door of .gonerous dimensions.

SOLVE ‘One Casper Dealer Has Had Only Six Claims In Four Years. In these days, when ttre con- fumers are coming to expect so} much from their tires, it is rather a | movel and refreshing experience to run into a dealer who has solved | the adjustment problem with entire | satisfaction to his customers and/ with no loss to himself or his tire compan, | Time was, and not so very far | distant ¢ that a tire user wa very much pleased with himself if} he got three thousand miles out of @ tire, but nov that same man | kicks like a bay steer if he does not get ten thousand. ‘Times have | changed and so have tires. The big tire companies have spent literally | millions of dollars seeking better and less expensive methods of pro- | ducing tires, until at the present | time, tires are cheaper than they have ever been and very much better. | But even so, they are still being made by human beings and conse- | quently are not always perfect. And | dealers of most all makes of tires have just and unjust claims of ad- | justment made to them for real and imaginary defects in the tires they are selling. The problem with most dealers is how to adjust these claims | with their customers so as to give square deal and still satisfy the cus- | tomer. If you don't think that is a/ problem, buy a tire store and try it There is one dealer tn Casper, however, that is not troubled with this problem. He has sold hundreds of tires that have gone into the| hardest kinds of service and during | the four years that he has handled these tires in Casper, he has had six claims for adjustment, and on two of these tires were rea de. fective, the rest being what is called “policy adjustments.” The name of this dealer is R. M, Mosher, and the tires he is handling are Michelin cords. wee te Next to the Bible “Pilgrims” has} been transiated into more lang than any other book.

Remarkable Growth, Although the automobile industry s th ‘Our largest of the nation, it is that traditions are not gen: y associated with it. The Stude baker corporation is a notable excep tion. Certainly no company in the industry—and few companies in any industry—are as rich in tradition as Studebaker, For seventy-one years the name Studebaker has been linked, not | only with every improvement in transportation. t with American industrial development as well. Since its inception in 1852 as a cross-roads blacksmithing and wagon-bullding op, Studebaker has nded to me of the ¢ man ing tutions in the world, with, $90, 000,000 of actual net assets, includ ing $45,000,000 of plant facilities and a production capacity of 150,000 cars annual: Studebaker has 3,000 branches and dealers in the United States all foreigm countries. Henry and Clem Studebaker com. menced operations in South Bend in 1852 with two forges and a cash capital of $68. They built two wagons their first year, one of was in daily, constant use years, a record that indicates the ideal of quality upon which the busine s founded.
