The Gar TTiat Detroit Likes
Better Than any Other
In The World
In Detroit, where people KNOW cars, more Studebakers
are in use than any other cars listing at more than $500.
This is significant.
For the simple reason that Detroit is the Home ot Auto-
mobiles- More than three-fourths of the cars manu-
factured in the United States are made in Detroit.
In Detroit a BIG percentage of the residents are either
directly engaged in the motor industry—or come into
DAILY contact with people who are. •
Thev talk cars. They study cars. They hear gossip fro/n
all the great factories established in the city. They know
the plants and the efficiency of the manufacturing organi-
zations. They know the men back of the cars-
And as a whole, knowledge of automobiles is far more gen-
eral and EXACT in Detroit than in any other city on the
earth. . • • ,• y ■ *' * *
. .So when you know that for the entire year of 1915...
registration in Detroit showed MORE studebakers..
in use than any other cars selling at more than $500,
it can mean but one thing that to the people of..
Detroit, people who KNOW cars and who KNOW
VALUE IN CARS, Studebaker offers the top value
of the market! ' *' i'''
And this fact is all the more significant when vou know
that Studebaker has only been selling cars in Detroit for
alxnit half as long as its nearest competitors have.
In half the time, Studebaker have outstripped thern all,
ana today you go to Detroit and you nnd more Studebakers
on the streets than any other make of cars costig ^er
