'Belgium Orders Freeing Of 50 German Prisoners Brussels, June 12.—The Belgian is A history maker— The World's Largest Producer of Quality Automobiles TOURING CAR $1045 f. o.b. factory 'M. Irving Jester and still the Leader! HE Studebaker Light-Six—a history maker — the first fine six-cylinder car under 3000 pounds at a four- cylinder price. The product of a company with a world-wide name for quality transportation goods——a company which built a great factory, one of the finest industrial plants in America, to make just this one car. A car with followers, imitators and adapters by the score—but with no rival in quality, popularity and sales volume. It is still the Leader! A car built to fulfill the ideal of producing the greatest automobile value in the $1000 field~the car which started the stampede from fours to sixes. A car with a specially designed offset valve motor of remarkable quietness, economy, power and freedom from vibration — a troubleless, sweet-running motor with tenacious resourcefulness of power on the hills, the straightaway and the pickup! A car comfortable, roomy, good-looking, very easy to handle on the road, in traffic or in parking — long-lived, low in first cost and especially low in up-keep costs. The market's one best bargain for the man who wants all the car he can get at about $1,000. A car that is an investment, not an expense, because it can be bought on very liberal terms, sold or traded in at a very high resale value on a market always ready and waiting for a used Light-Six Studebaker—its popularity and demand as a used car are the most convincing evi- dence of its goodness as an automobile.
