To be miserly is to spend nothing; to

Engineering—$500,000 yearly
We created an engineering depart-

There are; 125 skilled men there
who devote their time to studying

Studebaker has stood for
quality and class,
Studebaker equipages,

Now we make motor

Learn why 145,162 bought
Studebakers in 1923
Studebakers hold the top place in the fine
car field today.
In 1919, the public paid over $80,000,000
for 39,356 Studebaker cars.
In 1920, the public paid over $100,000,000
for 51,474 Studebaker cars, an increase of
31', over 1919.
In 1921, the public paid over $120,000,000

We spend $600,000 yearly to ma-
chine all surfaces of crank shafts,
just as in Liberty Airplane Motors.
That is the reason for that perfect
balance, that absence of vibration.
Every Studebaker car is Timken-
equipped. The Special-Six and the
Big-Six have more Timken bearings
than any car selling under $5,600 in
America. The Light-Six more than
any competitive car within $1,000 of
its price.
Opep cars have real
leather upholstery. They
cost $25 more per car
than imitation leather.
Our closed cars have
Chase Mohair uphol-
stery. This is made
from, the soft fleece of
Angora goats. And a
Sedan requires from 15
to 18 yards.
Velour for this uphol-
stery would save us up
to $100 per car.

detail. Mark the infinite
care. They add 25% to
