Danders "20" Roadster, $750 You Want the Best?Not the Cheapest Don't be alarmed if somebody tells you you can buy an automobile for less money than the $750 Studebaker-Flanders "20." You can, but you better not. The Flanders "20" corresponds point by point with the best and highest priced cars sold. Chenpci cars at every vital point are built on ideas long ago discarded for good cars. Don't take our word for it. Make comparisons and see. The Studebaker-Flanders "20" is a marval ? a high grade modern car at a lovi price. If you pay less, you buy much less. And the cheaper car to-day will cost you far more in the long run. The competing car isn't sold which the Studebaker Corporation, the k><-';i1 automobilc manufacturers in the world, couldn't reproduce for less money; but we won't build a cheap car, because the name "Studebaker" means the best for your money. If you are content with a car that runs to-day and dies to-morrow, don't buy the $750 Flanders "20." It will wear for years. Remember this?the Studebaker-Flanders "20" will outwear 2 to 1 any other car under $1,100 and give you double satisfaction, confidence and comfort into the bargain.
