i I Hupmobile Is Chosen
If for "Bandit Catching"
The effective part that automobiles
play in the efforts of police to subdue
U the bandit terrorism which infests so
many of the larger cities nowadays, is
, resulting in a general over-hauling
and expansion of department fleets,
according to information received in
the sales department of the Hupp
!; Motor Car corporation.
i In Minneapolis, for example,, it is
; reported that six Hupmobiles have
:!. just been added to the big fleet of
i police department cars. These are
jj to be used by precinct gun squads in
St their nishtlv tours of the districts
where criminal activity is especially
prevalent
; "Many an outlaw, now at liberty,
J might have been captured had our
: police cars been able to make the
; grade," is the substance of the po-
lice report which resulted in the ap-
propriation for new cars.
The same - situation exists in at-;
most every large city," says O. C.
i Hutchinson, ' the Hupmobile general
i sales minar
jw. "A police department without de
hpendable cars is today quite as inef
ficient s one would be without the
,XJecessary weapon for offense and
( defense. In fact the speed available
'. in certain motor cars has become just
V m r tj. .:
crime as the revolver and the officer's
club. Without the speed to overtake
the perpetrators of crime the gun and
stick are of little use.1
"It is because of the automobile's
importance in police activities that we
j are especially pleased when the-Hup-
U mobile is selected for police service,
j! "I know of no other service, to
j ; which the motor car may be adapted,
I! that requires more positive assurance
' of dependability than police work.""

The above picture of the new Velie
sedan represents one of the latest
arrivals on the automobile row.
Aside from being equipped with a
new motor, the Velie aedan is im
proved in many respects. One of the
features of this model is the trunk
rack and trunk which is part of the
regular eiipment. The lines of this
care are very snappy and give if the
appearance of both a sport model
and an enclosed model. According
to Carl Changstrom of the Chang
strom Motor company, this model
has attracted a ronsiderable amount
of attention already.
Travels Across
Country in .Truck
MUiourian Qualified After
Four Tripi to Give Point
en on Tournej.
F. E. Scott of Gardner, Mo., and
his family have traveled back and
forth from Maine to California three
times, each time by a different route,
according to J. M. Opper of' the
Jones-Opper company.
His fourth trip finds him headed
for I'asadena. Itis touring has take
hint to all the "big league tcemc
points in the United States, over al
niott every conceivable kind of road.
And still he says there is nothing
like cross-country automobile touring
tor recreation and building up one
health.
Incidentally, Mr. Scott is another
who hasjoined the Rco Speed Vigon
clan. This time he used hi truck
instead of hi touring car, with the
result, he says, of wondering why
he had not thought ot trying it be
lore.
Leaving Gardner with four com
panions and his Reo loaded with
tents, cots and cooking utensils, Mr.
Scott started for the coast. His rea
son for traveling in a Reo Speed
Wagon are:
"Never a cent for repairs. No loss
of time, with the consequent dis
agreeable interruptions of the jour
ney. No tire trouble, with exception
of four punctures. '
"Room and power enough to carry
complete equipment so that you can
tour a you want to in real comfort
without regard to hotel and eating
place. No rOad condition which can
not be overcome without undue
strain on the vehicle. Freedom from
mechanical trouble, which all tour
ing car are subject to a a result of
the abnormal stress of driving where
you want tor regardless of roads.
"If you want to travel in real com
fort, use a Speed Wagon," Mr. Scott
says. 1 here are three factor which
rule in favor of this type of transport
Economy, dependability and comfort.
"Having traveled over 15,000 miles
by motor car, I have a fairly accur
ate idea of what it cost to operate a
touring car on a transcontinental
tour.
'The Speed Wagon tore equip
ment is built to withstand hard use
and therefore you don't have to
worrv about tire trouble and the
accidents that are due, directly and
indirectly, to this cause.
The wisrld war has left us with a
national debt of $223.85 for every
man, woman and child in the coun
try, or $1,224.05 per family.

If Studebaker built nothing but the
Big-Six, you would never be able to
buy one of these extraordinary cars
for $1 785 at the factory.
The expense of manufacturing and
marketing Studebaker cars is shared
by three distinct models, the Light
Six, the Special-Six and the Big-Six.
That means one executive manage
ment, one manufacturing organiza
tion, one purchasing unit and one
selling cost instead of three separate
organizations.
Consider the Big-Six as an investment
how much you get for your money,
plus the amount you actually aave.
We know of no car, even at twice its -price,
that will give you greater satis
faction in the matters of endurance,
appearance, comfort, serviceability
and the refinements. In everything
that goes to make up your appreci
ation of a car, the Big-Six ranks with
the finest built. But it distinctly does
not rank with them in price!
The theory that high prices necessa
rily mean fine cars is fallacious, simply
because prices are not based upon
intrinsic values but .upon production
costs of individual makers, which vary
widely according to their ability and
manufacturing facilities.
Obviously, high costs of production,
inevitably arising from incompetence
or inadequate manufacturing facili
ties, mean not only high prices but
actually inferior cars
The materials and workmanship in
Studebaker Cars measure up to the
highest standards known to the auto
mobile industry.
With $70,000,000 of actual net assets,
including $36,000,000 of plant facil
ities, and seventy years' manufactur
ing experience, Studebaker stands
unsurpassed in ability and resources to
manufactureeconomfcaffjrand give the
greatest intrinsic value possible for a
given price.
