growing, fine-grained, tough-fibered black birch from the rocky hills of New
England is used in the hubs, select white oak is made into spokes and fel
loes and choice second growth, butt cut hickory is used for the axles.
Every other part as carefully selected. TJie skeins, tough and hard, are
forced into place on the axles under 100 tons pressure. Studebaker slope
shoulder spokes are driven into the hub under the same tremendous pres
sure. Best and toughest iron and steel strongly reinforces every part
where needed. The Studebaker is •
