February 27 (®).-- The —ask her to note the upholstery, appointments and fine finish One-Profit prices and Unit-Built construction have made Studebaker Big Six the fastest-selling high-powered car in the world today rOU will appreciate the Big Six Sedan because it has all the power, speed, stamina and long life that a man could desire in a motor car. Unit- Built to Studebaker standards, the highest in the industry, it will give you thousands of miles of quality transportation after it has paid for itself in service. It is big in economy as well as power. Yowr wife and her friends will be delighted with the individuality of the Big Six—the infinite atten- tion to details—the sheer richness of genuine mo- hair—the good taste and refinemepts that exacting women love—the luxurious comfort. Fourteen months ago the Big Six Sedan (7-pas- senger) sold at $2785, but since then One-Profit savings have been passed on to purchasers in three price reductions. As a result the 7-passenger Sedan now sells at $2145, the 5-passenger Sedan at $1895 and the Big Six is outselling every other car in the world of equal or greater rated horsepower. Studebaker’s unique facilities Few motor car “manufacturers” have foundries, forges, etc., to make their own engines—yet one- fifth of the cost of an automobile is in the engine. Even fewer build their own bodies—yet one-third of the cost of a car is in the body. Not only does Studebaker make ol bodies and ol engines used in Studebaker cars, but also all clutches, gear sets, springs, differentials, steering gears, brakes, axles, gray-iron castings and drop forgings. Only Ford in the low-price field and Studebaker in the fine-car field enjoy the benefits of such complete manufacturing facilities. One-Profit value These facilities enable Studebaker to manufacture quality cars on a One-Profit basis. They enable Studebaker Big Six Sedan Studebaker to eliminate the profits of outside parts and body makers. Many major savings are thus effected and passed on to the ultimate buyers of Studebaker cars, either in the form of higher quality, lower price—or both. Unit-Built construction Studebaker facilities result, too, in Unit-Built con- struction—in cars designed, engineered and built as units. The hundreds of parts used in a Studebaker car function together as a unit, resulting in longer life, greater riding comfort and higher resale value. Scores of thousands of miles of excess transporta- tion thus are built into Studebaker cars. Always kept up-to-date Because all phases of manufacture are directly under Studebaker eontrol, Studebaker cars are constantly kept up-to-date. We add improvements regardless of the calendar—we do not save them up for spec- tacular annual announcements which make cars arti- ficially obsolete. Resale values are thus stabilized Rock bottom time-payment rates Leading bankers, recognizing Studebaker stability, have made money available for financing Stude- baker ‘ars at low interest. They know Unit-Built cars bought at One-Profit prices and always kapt up-to-date are exceptionally fine risks. Therefore, no car in the world is able to offer lower time-pay- ment rates than Studebaker. For Five Passengers STUDEBAKER Big Six Sedan To surpass it in rated horse- power costs $2855 to $8155 more. 'I*H’! S-Passenger Big Six Sedan §s powered with the identical engine that carries hundreds of Studebaker busses at high speed over some of the ' most mountainous and difficult-to-travel roads in America—hence we urge yow to compare its thrilling performancs with that of any eight-cylinder car. It i luxuriously comfortable, beautifully finished, elaborately equipped. Based on the rating of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce and #he Society of Automotive Engineers, only seven American cars equal this Big Six Sedan in power. But they sell for two to four tupes its price. It is not surprising that the Big Six outsells every other car in the world of equal or greater rated horsepower. It is richly upholstered in genuine mohair, which is indicative of the fine quality body construction you cannot sce. Body pillars are of northern white ash—cross-members of hard maple. It has an automatic spark safety lighting switch on the luerh.m wheel, gasoline gauge on the dash There's also an 8-day clock, automatic windshield cleaner, rear-view mirror, cowl ventilator, stop light, air cleaner, gas and oil filters, inspection light oa 10-foot cord, and a splendid coinciden- tal lock to ignition and steering wheel controflld by the key that operates door and spare tire locks. Ride in it, feel the surge of power frow Under Studebaker’s fair and liberal Budget Payment Plan, this Sedan may bg purchased out of monthly 1 8 E 5 income for a small initial payment and at the lowest freight and war tax extra time-payment rates known to the automobile industry. the smooth, silent emgine, compore ity performance with the very finest “eights® as well s “sives.” Them you will know why the Big Sis outsells all other cors of equal or greater rated horsepower. oseph McReynolds 14th Street at R Phone Pot. 1631 Tonneau Shape This very desirable Tonneau shape watoh, in a 2% case—1 year. white gold filled, guaranteed, engrave Jewels—a perfect timekeeper for the special price of $ l 8'50 Pay $1.00 ape Lady's ar white gold filled hand- This Handsome Re Wrist Watch, in a teed case—16-jewel movement, ed—for only— $97.50 Georgetown Branch: 3218 M St. N.W.
