Studebaker Offers More for the Money
Because all vital costly parts-bodies, engines, steer- ing gears, clutches, differentials, gear boxes, springs, axles, brakes, grey iron castings and drop forgings are made in Studebaker's own great factories, great savings are effected. Studebaker eliminates the extra profits which others must pay to outside parts and bodymakers.
A few significant facts show how this benefits the buyer. One-third of the cost of a car is in the body and Studebaker, by building all its own bodies, builds better bodies and at the same time effects savings of as much as £50 per car. Óde-fifth of the cost of a car is in the engine. Studebaker, builds all its engines complete in its own great factories. Studebaker makes all its own grey iron castings. It produces better castings than it was able to buy outside, yet saves 25% in their cost. Therefore Studebaker is able to give you a better car for the money. Studebaker ears are built as a unit and, therefore, function as a unit. This results in smooth harmoni- "ous operation, greater riding comfort, longer life and higher resale value.
As all phases of manufacture are under Studebaker control, Studebaker car's are constantly kept up-to- -date.

Approximately 500 makes atomolice which have como to the American market with promisca of great vahio, dependability and long service are now all but for gotten.
Twenty-five years ago practically all "manufacturore" of automobiles were nothing more than assemblers. They purchased motors, bodies, tops, axles, etc., from parts makers who wore the manufacturers in reality. Some few makers main- tained shops in which they machin- ed castings and forgings purchased Boutside.
On this basis it was easy to be-t come ant automobile manufac turer," and more than five hundred} Jaiakes of automobiles have had their day in the American market and disappeared. They are today represented by more than 600,000) opban car" with practically no resale value in the bands of the public.
In 1992, the New York national autoinobile show displayed 86-maken of curs. During the following year this was reduced to 08. In 1924 further reddetion to 57. makes was noted. At the recent New York show this number had shank to 50. From the standpoint of the public, this decreasing number automo- biles makeri prompts more careful consideration of not only what is in a maker's car, but also what is behind the product.,
Makers who cannot manufacture economically because of inadequate j facilities, who are forced to buy many or most parts from, parti makers, necessarily are confronter with obstacles which anke IL difficult for them to compete with manufacturers equipped to produce} cara on a one-profit basis, such as Ford and Studebaker,
