enthusiastic of acitomoblle men. InirttiB

acencles of the country put out over TT

Bam over tho year 1911. When the fn t .
considered that the city of Detroit alo r
put out more than 200.000 machines, tins,

does not seem so Incredible.
r.00,000 rr itt in.
Richt alongside of the fact that the an
totroblle manufacturers of the country
produced nearly 40U.CO) machines In 1912
Is tho prognostication made for the pres
ent year. It Is conservatively and author
ltat.ely predicted that over X.000 ma
chines will be tinned out before the next
new year rolls around.
Whether or not this Is tho actual um
bel of machines that will be placed on
the market during the coming year mat
ters not. It only goes to demollstnite
th? enormous increase which has char
acterized the manufacture of the auto
mobile, during the lost decade.
Other predictions made by more con
servative manufacturers and selling
agents are that the output or 1913 will
total over '00,000 but may not attain tho
600,000 mark. The Increase predicted Is
easily possible, owing to the vnst amount
of Increased facilities that have been
placed In use by the hundreds of manu
facturing concerns throughout tho coun
try. 750,000,000 In Kxports.
In the matter of exports alone, this
country will send to Europe and otlor
foreign countries more than &0.000.000 ;n
automobiles and parts. During tho liist

A Better Car than the
$885 Studebaker "25
Cannot Be Built
The Studebaker "25" is built exactly as well as the $1290 Studebaker
"35" and the $1550 Studebaker "Six," and that means as well built as any
automobile at any price. ' (
The same tested iron and steel, the same carefully cut gears, the same in
flexible inspections enter into its manufacture.
All vital steel parts are heat-treated from three to six times in' our own
ovens.
No other low priced car is made under these favorable conditions.
It is not so large as the Studebaker "35" and the Studebaker "Six," but
the quality is there.
