ECONOMICAL EIGHT.
Studebaker Awarded”
First Prize. :
That power" and brilliant motor performance can be attained with- out the sacrifico of fuel ́oconomy was demonstrated, by ́a recent economy run held in the State of California, · U, S., A, under tho sanction and supervision of the | American' Automobile Association, Thirty-seven cars piloted by as many women completed a 17 miles run, from the Los Angeles to Wrightwood Mountain, climbing from almost sea level to an altituda of 6,000 feet. Each car observed the same rules, covered the same course, and ran undor the same weather conditions. At the còn clusion of the run, tho official AA A. representatives awarded first place in its class to a Studebakor President Eight, which established the best economy record for eight cylinder cars in its price class with an average of 33.7 ton miles per gallon..
When all cars had been checked, however, it was found that, thỏ • Studebaker President had not only led its class, but had also won second place in the grand sweep- stakes competition which included every car in the field, regardless of power or price. The President's performance and economy record was bettered by a Ford sedan, which turned in an average of 35.5 ton miles per gallon.
The economy record of the Pre- sident Eight in this test is con- sidored high tribute to the brilli- ance of Studebaker's engineering staff and emphasizes the success of Studebaker's policy of "balanced design." The President is a car of great speed and power, these qualities having been demonstrated by its world record of 30,000 miles In 20,826 consecutive ruinutes. This great feat was performed by a

ALL ROADS ARE BOULEVARDS FOR
THE NEW FORD
Ford
Perhaps the most outstanding feature of the new Ford is found in its riding comfort. [Somehow, It just seems to glide along as if every road were a good road. Even on comparatively rough stretches there is no exaggerated bouncing.
OneFreason, of course, is the use of four Houdaille hydraulic shock absorbers-two in the front and two In the rear. You will find such equipment standard on only the most expensive cars.
Of even greater Importance, however, are the low centre of gravity and the carefully planned balance of the car.
Arrange with our dealer for a demonstration ride, and you will be quickly convinced that no other car can stand the test to which you can put the new Ford.
