Thousands of us are stockhold- ers. All of us, after a certain time, get dividends on wages. All of us, after two years, get vaca- tions with pay. All of us, after one year, get dividends on wages. After five years, that annual dividend adds 109% to our earnings. The company spends vast sums on co-operative work with us, When we re- tire, we get pensions. So Studebaker cars represent the best that we, in combination, know how to offer you, - »* * Some of us belong to management. If we do better than expected, we get 109 of the excess, So every man among us does his best to make Studebaker carssupreme.

We have a $10,000,000 body plant, to maintain the Studebaker standard of coach work, There sons, fathers and grandfathers are working to- gether, to build such bodies as Stude- baker always built, . Those bodies are finished by many operations, including 15 coats of paint and varnish, The_open bodies are upholstered See how Studebaker gained top place 145,167 people last year paid $201,000,000 for Studebaker cars. The sales have almost trebled in the past three years, Studebaker growth in fine cars is the marvel of this industry. Go see the reasons. See the scores of extra values Studebaker offers. There are 13 models, Prices start at $1025, They go to the highest price a fine car needs to cost, All Studebaker model equipped with Timken bearings. There are few cars in America, re- gardless of price, which equal ours on this point, In our Light-Six, for instance, we put more Timken bear- ings than are used in any competitive car, within $1,500 of its price. We give unusual equipment, On some Big-Six models, for instance, we include two nickel-plated bump- ers, one or two extra disc wheels with cord tires,a courtesy light, a motometer, steel trunk, etc. How we do this We give you these ex- tra values through quan- tity production. We build 150,000 cars per year — more than any other fine-car builder.
