The Best, Wagon is the Cheapest,
* 1 he Studebaker is not in the alluring “cheap price- class, but in the end it is cheaper
than any cheap price wagon ever constructed. Compare the cost per year of <» "cheap price"
wagon with the cost per year of a STUDEBAKER and you will Hnd a Studebaker by far the
most economical to own. 1 he purchase of a “cheap priced wagon is poor economy, and every
farmer who has tried it will admit that it does not pay. Practice true economy by buying a
Studebaker. There are more Studebakei wagons in use in Milam county than all other makes
combined.
