Imitation diamonds can be made to look so real and sparkle so brightly that it is difficult to tell them from the genuine. But try to sell one and you will find out its real worth in a flash. Same with automobiles. Weaknesses of construction in a closed car can be hidden, for a time, with paint and varnish and fancy fittings. But all is not quality that glitters. You can’t ride on the paint. And when you place such a car in the second hand market, you suffer a heavy depreciation because it lacked real intrinsic value at the outset. Use will never improve a mediocre product. The second hand floor is the melting pot for automo- bile values. Cars are stripped of artificial values and only inherent worth counts. + Motor car owners tell us that the trade-in value of any Studebaker car at the end of three or four or five years of useful life is greater than on any other car built today—the percentage of depreciation is the lowest. No wonder the Studebaker Light-Six Sedan is the fastest selling quality Sedan in the world!
