BARTLETT PEAR PRICES REDUCED IN CALIFORNIA; Eastern Jobbe;;;fu; to Do Busi- ness on Basis of Original Charges. We Want to Talk to Every Prospect Who Plans to Pay More Than $500 for a Car We want to tell you something about the Studebaker Light-Six Touring Car. Want you to examine it—and to drive it. Stop in and let us prove what a vast difference there is between the Light-Six and other cars at about the same price— or between the Light-Six and cars of other makes costing several hundred dol- lars more. There’s a reason for that difference. It’s worth knowing. Studebaker has placed the Light-Six within the reach of every buyer who seeks maximum comfort, reliable per- formance, rugged dependability and du- rability in a low priced car. To be able to buy a Six, practically freq from vibration, for less than $1,000 is 1 ; an opportunity not duplicated anywhere | [ and are placed at the most restful angle. The one-piece windshield is handsome and practical because ‘it gives unob- structed view of the road ahead and is rain-proof. The quick-action cowl ven- tilator and the parking lights are but indications of the quality and complete- ness of the appointments. The Light-Six is durable, powerful, flexible, affords smooth, quiet operation and can be throttled down to a walking pace in high gear. It is easy to drive, convenient to park, takes the hills on high and holds sustained speed over long stretches hour after hour. No other make of car ever built, by anyone, at any price, represents so great a dollar-for-dollar value as the Light-Six Touring Car. The savings resulting from large volume, complete manufacture and the fact that Studebaker’s overhead is shared by three distinct models make possible its low price and high value. The Light-Six upholds Studebaker’s 71-year reputation for honest value. in the world. Elimination of vibration adds immeasurably to the life of the motor. Itis oneof the reasons for the uni- versal high resale value of the Light-Six. The Touring Car body is all-steel— even to its framework.
