Studebaker has a Factory
Branch in Omaha
If necessary complete Studebaker cars could be assem
bled in this' Branch. Studebaker carries 51,000,000
worth of parts in its branches. It maintains a force of
45 automobile experts under these Branches Part of
the Studebaker factory is literally located in Omaha.
STUDEBAKER BRANCH BUILDING
OMAHA
Studebaker has a wonderful organization of dealers,
operating not only under the Omaha Branch but all
over the United ' States drive cross country in your
Studebaker .from Canada to Mexico, from Maine to
California, and you will never be more than a "town
distant". from Studebaker Service. "Buy it because it
is a Studebaker" is not an empty phrase.
And Studebaker is continually sub-dividing its selling
territory either under a Branch, a Distributor or direct
from the factory. It seeks direct representatives in
every hamlet and township in Nebraska in order that its
Service may be still more comprehensive. If this message
should reach a dealer or garage owner in a small town
where Studebaker does not happen to be represented if
there is such a town, he is invited to write to the Branch
at Omaha now. If he can measure up to the Studebaker
Service standards he can be assured of a permanent and
profitable business proposition from Studebaker, the
oldest, best known, and one of the largest manufacturers
of motor cars in the world. By writing to the Omaha

Branch you may obtain Studebaker's motor car mer
chandising book "How to Make Money Selling Motor
Cars." And better than this it is well worth your
while to take a trip to Omaha to investigate thoroughly '
the Home of Studebaber.
Are You Going to Buy an
Automobile?
Then does not Studebaker Service mean much to you?
As for the Studebaker car; it must be good or 50,000
people a year would not buy them.
Are You a Dealer or Garage
Owner?
Is there a better, safer Company to represent than
Studebaker if you can really get the representation?
