Kennedy Attacks Construction of Flimsy Apart ment Houses Before At lantic City Convention. Alfred C. Kennedy, rental man ager for the Peters Trust company, won “first page” in the New York and Atlantic City newspapers dur ing the past week when he attacked unscrupulous builders at a meeting of the National Builders, Owners and /Managers’ association, which wns held at Atlantic City last week. The New York Times quoted him as follows: "Alfred C. Kennedy of Omaha today attacked unscrupulous build , ers and contractors who erect flimsy apartment houses to sell to innocent purchaser* who only have hearsay knowledge of the business. "One of the -greatest menaces In the apartment house field,” he said, "is the unscrupulous builder who erects poorly constructed and poor ly arranged apartments ss a trap for the unsuspecting purchaser and then halts It with misleading state ments as to Its possible earnings.” Contrary to popular belief apart ment houses are not gold mines, Mr. Kennedy said, in presenting a re port on apartment butldlpgs In 14 of the largest cities of the country. The report shows that the average net return without deducting depre ciation was S.B7 per cent. The low est average return was In Boston, where apartment house owners real ized only 5.74 per cent on their investment, while the highest was In Washington, where apartment houses bring their owners an aver age return of 10.14 per cent. W. J. Palmer, member of the Om aha Builders, Owners and Managers’ assoelaton, was re-elected chairman of the apartment house conference of the national association. The meeting will be held next year in Colorado Springs.

Plant No. 3 South Bend, Indiana The Light-Six Plant Plant No. 1—South Bend, Indiana Open and Closed Bodies, Sprints, Windshields, Etc - fa- All Models_ ^ ( Plant* S, 4, and 5, Detroit, where the Blg-Mx.the Special-Six and Service Part* are made, ar* not shown In this illustration ) Vast Resources Make Possible High Value at Low Price in Studebaker Light*Six Studebaker’s vast resources are utilized to manufacture (not assemble) the Light Six complete in the newest and most mod em large automobile plants in the world. The Corporation’s resources, consisting of $85,000,000 of actual net assets, includ ing $45,000,000 of plants, make it possible for Studebaker to offer a six-cylinder car, at less than $1,000, that is emphatically superior in design, construction, perform ance,comfort and dependability, to any car within hundreds of dollars of its price. By complete manufacture, Studebaker not only guards the quality of each part, but saves the middlemen’s profits with the result that no other make of car ever built, by anyone, at any price, represents so great a dollax-for-dollar value as the Light-Six. Evidence of its mechanical superiority is found in its practical freedom from vibration. This is accomplished by the perfect balance of the motor. Perfect balance is obtained largely through the complete machining of all surfaces of the crankshaft and connecting rods. This re quires 61 precisian operations. It is a costly practice, necessitating a large in vestment in plant equipment, but is a very important one to the owner. This method is followed exclusively by Studebaker on cars at this price. In fact, there are very few other cars whid) have this feature, and their selling prices are from three to ten times as great as that of the Light-Six. The advanced design of the Light-Six represents an engineering achievement. Its production is an achievement in the application of predsion methods to large scale manufacture. And the priring of the Touring Car (or Roadster) at $975 is an achievement in value-giving without par allel in the automobile industry. The finest tribute that can be paid any product is increased patronage year after year. Only a product of merit can keep on growing—as Studebaker has grown. Merit is the best sales-maker in the world. It is significant, therefore, that the sale of more than 80,000 Studebaker cars dur ing the first six months of this year broke all records. Buyers are justified In expecting more for their money in a Studebaker than in any other car. After 71 years of service, the name Studebaker enjoys confidence and respect more than ever. Power to Satisfy the Most Exacting Owner i ' f Ttruw to Moat Your Ctwnenio/ig* The Studebaker Light-Six Automobile was designed by Studebaker engi neers and is manufactured complete in the NEW STUDEBAKER PLANTS AT SOUTH BEND, INDIANA which are notable in design, sire and equipment for efficient and econom ical manufacture. The South Bend Plants contain 4,875,000 square feet of floor space. They employ 12,000 persona. They cost $33,250,000. The South Bend Forge Plant cost $4,000,000, which alone is more than the total assets of many automobile companies. And then there aret The machine shops which cost $7,000,000. The stamping plant which cost $4,000,000. The new foundries which will cost over $2,000,000. The power plants which cost $2,500,000. The assembly and stock plants which cost $5,000,000, as well as closed and open body plants, spring shops, etc. Studebaker plants, in coat and size, are the second largest of the world's automobile plants. Studebaker is the second strong est financially of the automobile manufacturers of the world. These facts show why it is pos sible for Studebaker to produce the Light-Six -a truly remarkable car —and sell it for less than a thousand dollars. In actual oar value per dollar of price the Light-Six is In a class by itself. No prospective buyer of an automobile should decide on any thing until he has seen and driven this car. It is backed by a corporation with $85,000,000 of actual net assets rnd a 71 -year reputation for honest product and fair dealing. O. N.
