Studebakers World Championship pcrformanca is endorstd by the opinions of private owners and ■ service companies whose work demands a car of unfailing performance, speed, and stamina to with- ■ stand all road and weather conditions. Read what Kennedy Bros, and others say about Studebaker. ■ No other car in the history of the world has ever travelled so fast, so far as the Studebaker B Pretidant-30,000 miles in 26,326 minutes—what greater proof of power and reliability can you H ask of any car. Studebaker now holds 167 speed and endurance records—every record for speed B| and endurance, regardless of power, make, price or type of car. Yet all Studebaker records have ■ been made with stock models selected at random. H For a revelation in restful riding you must drive a new Studebaker with its ball bearing sprinf 9 shackles (exclusively Studebaker). No greasing, no squeaks, no rattles —Each bearing has ■ sufficient lubricant to last for 20.000 miles of running, B GREYMOUTH, P.O. Box 15. 76 lichfield St« H 21st January. 1929: Pieton.
