STDDEBAKER NEW MODELS
Price Reduction Announced that
Are Startling to the Motor
in; Public.
HIGH STANDARD MAIXTAIKED
Br mnnounclnii for W a sereiv-paaeen-aer,
forty horw power four at RW and a
seven-paseens-er. fifty horsepower sis at
ll.flCO, Btudebaker has once mora startled
the motorlnc public
And one mora Btudebaker haa prored
that quantity production, sclentlflo man
ufacturing method and a wealth of man
ufacturing experience ran reduce prices
and yet maintain hifh standard of qual
ity. '
That these are hlrh grade ears In every
essential will be evident from the most
superficial examination and the specifi
cations as alven by the engineering de
partment at tbe Petrolt factory Indicate
that the quality Is even higher than
with last rear's csrs. They show that
finer steels have been used; that the
upholstery Is of ths highest grade of
leather the market affords; that the fin
ishing operations hare "been Increased to
twenty-fire In number, while numerous
other details of manufacture are still
further Indicative of quality.
Tat despite all these Improvements and
Chang's the price) have been radically
reduoed In comparison with thoee of last
year. No four of this slsa and power has
ever been offered at anywhere near th
price of fwt. No seven-passenger fifty
horsepower sis ever came within hun
dreds of dollars of ths new price of ll.OTA
The new cars Illustrate more conclus
ively than ever th accepted Btudebaker
policy of dignity In design. The Btude
baker has never gone In for unusual lines,
believing that the public does not care
for cars that follow the fads of style
that each new season sees.
Accordingly, In this year's cars Btude
baker has adhered to Its customary lines,
simply Improving them In some slight
details that add to effect. The Una of
the hood melts into the cowl and the
cowl Itself ha been made longer. The
crown fenders are of a deeper design than
ever and cling mora closely to the curves
of the wheels and the lines of the entire
car flow In unbroken curvee from th
rsdiator bark to th tall-lamp. Orac I
the dominant note of the whole design,
and while th new cars are larger than
ever and more massive In looks, they are
among the handsomest ear that have
ver been produced.
Now atlas; He.
On of th notable feature of th can
a th new unique arrangement of th
eat. Th driver- Mat, for example. Is
shaped so that both th driver and th
passenger riding with him have separate
teat. This 1 a change that owner who
driv their own ear will greatly appre
ciate. The tonneau la rocmler than aver,
and th auxiliary eata are of entirely
new design, developed by Studebaker
within th last year. Instead of folding
back against th aide of th ear or up
against th back of th seat, they sink
down Into recesses In th floor, com
pletely disappearing whan not la use.
Aril thus extra room and eaee of entrance
and exit from th tonneau la provided.
Exceptional car has been paid to th
upholstery of th new ear. Th leather
used 1 th finest trad of genuine, hand
buffed leather on tha market. It U to
Ptudebaker claim that no batter leather
can be bought at any price. It la a
atralght-graln, semi-bright finish, and la
tufted with a high grado of curled hair.
Ieeper colled springs give more resil
iency. The principal feature and that of deep

motor. Hill and rutted road will have
no further terror for th proud pos
sessor of a, new Studebaker. Drake testa
on the four have developed 41-35, and
on th tlx, M.I horsepower.
This added power haa teen secured In
on way by enlarging th bore of th
motor to throe and seven-eighths Inches.
For another, th carburetor ha been
tranaferred to th left aide of the motor,

MR, DEALER: You can't swim against the stream of popu
larityand why should you try. The motoring public is demanding
service, low upkeep and stylo at a reasonable price. Why not give
it to them? $750 is the popular price for 1916 look around and see
what splendid cars are being offered at this price.
If you are in an open territory, let me outline the MONITOR
proposition to you. Sales are convincing facts; and wo have a num
ber of such facts to our credit.

THERE
It was our expectation, from the first, that this car
would play a large part in determining motor
car values.
We said as much in our advertisements almost a
year ago.
We expected it to set up in the public mind a model
and a pattern of what a car of moderate price
should be.
We expected that it would encourage buyers to
judge motor cars by the standard of quality ;
not by price.
Surely the results have more than realized our
expectations.
Surely you can see that the car is considered a
criterion of what constitutes real worth.
Once a man has driven the car, even for a few
miles, nothing can distract his mind from its
performance and its quality.
He thinks of the price only in relation to the re
markable value it buys.
That is why the first 20,000 fell so far short of sup
plying the demand.
That is why the second 20,000 are being absorbed
with equal eagerness.
