Beauty of line and finish and refine ments are surface indications and im portant ones. But your satisfaction with a closed car depends to a great degree upon factors that are unseen—• the in-built qualities .that come from correct design, use of highest grade materials and careful workmanship. It is impossible to get more out of a car than the maker has built into it. The 23 series Studebaker Light-Six Sedan is a quality car. It is built to endure—to give lasting satisfaction. Both body and chassis are produced in Studebaker plants where painstaking craftsmanship has always been the rule and the practice. And Studebaker has been building quality vehicles for sev enty-one years. The Sedan body is substantially built. It will last for years and retain its beauty and comfort. Evidence of its hidden goodness lies in the fact that down under the paint and varnish, the pillars, roof rails and supporting members are made from specially se lected ash. Good ash is expensive but Studebaker uses it because it best com bines the propter strength .and weight. Four wide-opening doors make it easy for all passengers to get in or out with out inconvenience to each other. A high-_ grade heater affords summer warmth or cold, damp days. The wide windows give broad vision in every direction. When you buy a Light-Six Sedan you are really accepting the judgment of 100,000 owners who have found the Light-Six chassis so satisfactory. Studebaker quality is traditional. SEAT FOR COTTON GROWERS IN LIVERPOOL EXCHANGE 1 ‘ 1923 MODELS AND PRICES—/, o. b. factories LIGHT SIX 5-Pa»a., 112’ IV. B.,40 H.P.

Secretary Ministerial Union, j Be A Part of Your Community-Not Merely A “Hanger-On” A man may not care for the opinion of others, yet it is the group opinion of a community that classifies the man. It is but natural that a community regards the home owner with more respect than a renter; he is looked upon as a substantial citizen having a vital interest in the com mon welfare. And this is right. A home owner IS the vital force in the community—his is the voice that directs its course. With home ownership comes a pride of possession, a sense of self-respect, of more responsible citizenship, that betters the man and elevates his family. At work, in office, store or shop the home owner is looked upon as a man to tie to— to be depended upon—to be advanced. Meet your fellow citizens, your neighbors, as an equal.
