They are for Studebaker cars so well built of such high quality materials that the past six months have averaged only $140.64 per car. The rest of the money ‘went into making a car with scores of thousands of miles of excess transportation. ‘These earnings are a triumph basis of manufacture. No manufacturer on a less efficient basis could have made a dollar selling cars of Studebaker quality at Studebaker prices. is the only eae car in the fine car ker make for all their cars all bodies, al! engines, all gear sets, clutches, aprings, differentials, axles, stecring gears, gray iron Studebaker field. Only Ford and Stude castings and drop forgings. Thus we save and pass on to which many other manufacturers must pay to out- side parts and body makers, No “yearly models” makes sales jump Thus we were able last January te reduce prices already low. Then we announced that Studebaker would have no more “yearly models” to artificially depreciate cars in the hands of owners. Sales instantly started to soar and have forced the vast Studebaker plants to maintain peak pro- duction throughout the summer, in the face of declining production for the industry in general. To one-profit savings we thus add savings due to long continued peak production. These savings we share with customers in the price reduction announced August Ist. We still use genuine leather, iaohair upholstery, for Studebaker cars identical with those fine northern white ash and hard maple, tough extra gauge steel for which we pay premiums, plate demand at higher ents. net profits during the public paid us for the one-profit glass, walnut inlaid with holly and other refine- In short, these are the same fine cars in every particular—onty the price has been reduced. You can’t appreciate what a bargain Studebaker cars are at these new pes until you compare them point by point wit! Remember that Studebaker cars have been kept constantly up to date. made as soon as developed—not saved up for spectacular announcements under the guise of “new yearly models” designed to depreciate cars already in the hands of owners. Superiorities—both hidden and obvious Many of the most important superiorities of Stude- bakers are hidden until revealed by thousands of miles of usage, but here are some you can check others. Improvements have been to prove our statement that every Studebaker is purchasers profits more up to date than the newest “yearly model.” On all present Studebaker models, you'll find an : automatic spark control, safety lightin, the steering wheel, the dash, improved one-piece windshield, special coin- cidental lock of ignition and steering gear, fully ma- control on 8-day clock and gasoline gauge on chined crankshaft, cowl ventilator, waterproof ignition and oil drain valve beside the engine. Studebaker pioneered the steel-framed Duplex Top with roller side enclosures which gives en- econds, closed car protection to open car models —in 30 Studebaker pioneered the use of full-size balloon tires, for which steering mechanism, fenders and body lines have been especially designed. Come in and see these sturdy, dependable “one- profit” cars. Today, more than ever before, every Studebaker is a big money's worth.

Campbell, whose proof to the claim that he ts “still going strong,” {s found in daily duty as a watchman at the Standard Oil com- | pany’s refinery here, voted in the | first Wyoming election in 1869 at Fort Laramie. He had come to the territory two years earlier. He was the first sherift of Con- verse county, serving two terms, but his executive work in enforcing the law didn't stop there. For twelve years continuously he was chief of police of Douglas and gained the sobriquet of “Old Grizzly,” a name | by which he was known to hoboes from coast to coast. In the meantime, so his history | reads, he had been engaged in bull- | cking. “It was in the spring of | 1 that he bough four yoke: of work cattle and a wagon from John | Hunton, one of the well-known “wa- | gon bosses" of the plains country. | Campbell went with his outfit to Fort Fetterman, where Hunton had a government contract to haul wood to supply the fort. There began a life of continuous adventure, which only the bullwhacker knows, and which is well described by William Francis Hooker, an acquaintance of Campbell's in ox-team driving, who recently wrote of the "Frontier Freight Train Wagon-boss of the Early 70's,” in the Erie Railroad ‘ampbell and one or two others wagon-bosses of bull trains, wh trains run by four-footed "pow hey were also in fact superinten nts, with knowledge of — seven yoke and two wagons each spread out over a couple of miles of sandy waste, or was moving one half up a mountain grade and one half down the other side, the wagon- boss seemed to be at every point along the line at the same time, of-- ten accompanied by an assistant “specially was he grades and in sandy pl would stall, the bullwhacker’s efforts | single-handed to ‘haw’ or ‘gee’ hi team far off the trail and then swing {tn on a rush belng not always suc Geastul, due to individual oxen balk the or holding back.
