Your confidence is what
Studebaker seeks to keep
Possessing this confidence, we have never
tried to produce a cheap wagon. We could, but
we don’t dare try the experiment. Our constant
aim has been to produce the best wagon.
And in living up to this highest standard, we have
won and hold—the confidence and good-will of
hundreds of thousands of farmers all over the world.
Studebaker wagons are built to last, to do a day’s
work every day, to stand up under stress and strain
and to make the name Studebaker stand for all
that is best in vehicles.
Don’t accept any other wagon represented to he
just as good as a Studebaker. The substitute may be
cheaper, but it isn’t up to Studebaker standards, and
you can't afford to buy it.
For business or pleasure, there is a Studebaker vehicle
suited to your requirements. Farm wagon*, truck*, business wagons,
surreys, buggies, runabouts, pony carriages—each the best o( its
kind. Harness also of the same high Studebaker standard.

Texas is a great State. We do
not fully realize the immensity of
our resources. No one has ever yet
announced a true conception of the
greatness of Texas. The fact of th«
matter is, we try to measure Texas
with a yardstick and the mind be-
cojuea confused in a maze of cal*
Rtgfttions without gaining the faint-
est conception of the State’s great-
ness.
