There are Steimways in service today that were given as Wedding Presents more than 50 years ago. They have been handed down as heirlooms from one generation to another. About them cling memories dearer than thosc associated with any other object in the house- hold. The beauty of its rich, sympathetic quality of tone—its resonant, harmonious bass—its sparkling, mellow. treble—its instant response to your moods—all combine to make the Stein- way MORE than a mere piano; it is like an intimate friend who has shared in your happi- ness and trials and, never faltering, remains loyal and true under any and all conditions— cver a source from which flows comfort, pleasure and inspiration. The Steinway Grand Piano, “Style M,” in mahogany case, is an ideal Wedding Gift. n Distributors: STYLE “M" MAHOGANY C...

Left New York 2:07 a.m., June 14 Mww 12:27 p. m., June 17 (Pacifie Srandasd Time) NOTHER victory in the conquest of time and space! New York and San Francisco linked closer together by the triumph of a Stude- baker Big Six “Sheriff,” which has crossed the continent in 86 hours, 20 minutes, breaking-the best previous record by 16 hours, 25 minutes. A stock car, driven by Ab Jenkins and Ray Peck, both of Salt Lake City, was used for the 3471-mile run. The car was a stock model in every respect except for a 48-gallon gasoline tank and changes in the top, back seat and tire carrier. . Jenkins is a Salt Lake City contractor, whose recreation is cross-country driving. The run was made in his own car on his own initiative. Peck is a personal friend who has accompanied him on several record-breaking dashes over the Rockies. Verified by Western Union The Big Six “Sheriff” left New York at 2:07 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Saving Time), June 14th, and arrived in San Francisco at 12:27 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time), June 17th. It passed through the Central West during one of the heaviest rain- storms of the century. Western Union officials verified both the time of departure and arrival. At all times, consideration was given to the rights of motorists, and in passing through cities speed reg- ulations were carefully observed. High speed was made through the night on deserted country roadways. ; The fastest train time between Manhattan and the Golden Gate is 88 hours. But this does not include time for making connections. The fastest time in which the trip between New York and San Francisco can be made by rail is 92 hours and 45 minutes, eiapsed time. Contrast this unhampered travel over glistening rails and perfect roadbed with the tremendous odds of road and weather that confronted the Studebaker every mile of its drive across the continent. Yet its total elapsed time was 6 Hours, 25 minutes less than required by rail. Many obstacles encountered Heavy rainstorms, fog, deep mud—even floods— were encountered from the time the car left New York until it passed Cheyenne, Wyoming. Later came the long pull over the Continental Divide, with steep climbs and precipitous descents. Yet the Studebaker surmounted every, difficulty with effortless ease. This striking demonstration of Studebaker stamina and dependability comes on the heels of another notable achievement for the Big Six “Sheriff.” On April 12th, a stock Studebaker Big Six smashed by 7 hours and 26 minutes the best previous record for overland travel between Los Angeles and Salt Lake City. * Only a car of such superlative qualities could have made such a showing. Although there are fifty makes of American cars on the market, only seven equal the Studebaker Big Six in rated horse- power. And they sell for two to four times its price. Proof of stamina It is doubtful if you will ever demand such severe service from your car as this transgontinental run required. Yet it proves why the Studebaker Big Six performs so unfail- ingly in everyday use—why hundreds of owners have testified mileage records ranging from 100,000 to 300,000 miles. The Studebaker Big Six is the fastest-selling high-pow- ered car today because it has established beyond question its greater value, economy and reliability, Facilities for One-Profit manufacture, which eliminate the profits of outside parts and body makers, enable Studebaker to build a finer car and sell it to you at a lower cost. Any two of these Big Sixes may be purchased for less than any other single car of equal rated horsepower Duplex-Roadster, $1495; Sport-Roadster (4-Pass.), $1645; Sport-Phaeton (“Sheriff”), $1575; Duplex- Phaeton, $1775; Club Coupe, $1650; Sedan (5- Pass.), $1895; Coupe, $2045; Sedan (7-Pass.), $2145: Brougham, $2095; Berline, $2225. ‘Al prices f.o.b. factory.
