A SIX for the
price of a Four
—You can buy a Studebaker LIGHT-SIX to-
day at a four cylinder price!
—But you cannot buy Studebaker LIGHT-
SIX performance in ANY light four.
—You can get more for your money in the
Studebaker LIGHT-SIX than in any other
car in the thousand dollar class. Because:
(1) Because Studebaker had the biggest vol-
ume in history in 1921.
(2) Studebaker sales in 1921 were 29 per
cent greater than in 1920 while the total of
all other makes was 45 per cent less than in
1920.
(3) Studebaker is the world’s largest builder
of six-clyinder cars, builds nothing but sixes.
—Studebaker builds the LIGHT-SIX for less
than it costs manufacturers to turn out a
four, because it is produced complete in the
Studebaker plants. The average list-price
of the better known four is %$ 1 200. This
does not include the high priced fours. The
Studebaker LIGHT-SIX Touring Car lists
at only $ 1045, the lowest price it has ever
been sold.

BANQUET HELD TUESDAY
EVENING
One of the most pleasing and well
planned banquets ever given in the
city was that of the Local Lions
on Tuesday night, when the newly
organised club was presented with
a charter, and became a duly recog
nized Lions Club affiliated with the
Inter&ational Association. The af-
fair was brilliant. It was pleasing
and in every way an enjoyable af-
fair.
The Lions with their ladies, and
a number of invited guests assem-
bled at the hotel at 8 o’clock and
it was only a short time until the
dining room door swung open and
a special committee ushered the
guests to seats.
The dining room had been beauti-
fully decorated for the occasion, with
the color schemes of the club, and
flowers graced the tables. Handsome
and elaborate menus were at each
plate and small hand painted cupid
hearts were given as favors. The
special decorations as well as the
favors were arranged by a committee
of the Lion ladles composed of Mrs
T. P. Everett. Mrs. L. M. Hall, Mrs.
A. W. Hall, Mrs. L. B. McKee, Mrs
Cunningham and Mrs. R. T, Mc-
Dade.
The program opened with the sing-
ing of Texas Land, led by Sam
Losh and the invocation by Dr. A
W Han. Then the feast began.
The following menu was served:
Fruit Cocktail
Oysters Creamed on Toast
Cold Boiled Ham
Creamed Potatoes Cream Peas
Hot Rolls
Queen Olives California Celery
Candied Sweet Potatoes
Brick Cream with Heart in Center
Heart Shaped Cakes
Coffee Tea

Rev A. W. Hall, associated
The Lions Club is s Texts organ-
isation. The first club was organ-
ised in San Antonio in 1915, and
individual clubs were formed in this
state during the remainder of the
summer and in the winter the boun-
dary lines of the state were crossed
and the adjoining states included in
Liondom- The formation of the
clubs, however, was only spasmodic
and rather haphazard, but in 1917,
a meeting Was called and held at
Chicago, 111., when an organisation
of national character was formed
and regular charters issued each
affiliating organization. The first
National convention was held in
Dallas, October 8-10, 1917, when a
constitution and bylaws were adopt-
ed and the first National officers
eietced. Charters of a National
character were then issued. From
this beginning, the growth has been
remarkable. In 1919 there were 61
clubs in 12 diferent states, with
thirty of the club in Texas, thirty-
nine states and the dominion of
Canada, have clubs and the number
has grown to 345, the number of
^Weatherford’s charter.
The Lions were organized for a
purpose. The club has a mission in
the world, and in order to render
the service designed certain set rules
and regulations were adopted and
a code of ethics promulgated. This
code is intended to guide the mem-
bers in the conduct of their business
and in their lives and is calculated
to be elevating and uplifting in
every way. The following Is the
code which Lions live up to:
“To show my faith in the worthi-
ness of my vocation by industrious
application to the end that T may
merit a reputation for quality of
service.
