WHAT LORD ROBERTS SA!D. i The judgment of the late Field Marshal Lord Roberts in affairs military was never seriously questioned by friend or fo". Where his opinions were questioned and. afc times, overruled by .superiors, later developments proved tho -wisd'.im of his advice and the folly of not following it. ‘ Tho recent death of this great hero 'who did so much tor British India and ■ tho Union of South Africa, and whose memory is honoured by the whole world, calls again to mind his famous!, report to the British Parliament following the South African Boer War. The rigours of that rugged country tried out the 'Field Marshal’s transportation equip- ’ nient to such a severe degree, that only those vehicles which were built for lifelong wear could withstand the terrific strain. Vehicles built everywhere were used, and a thorough comparison was made by 1 lie army officials. The result was epitomiz'M in these words of the gi’i'at hero: aggons w ere imported from the United States and these proved superior to any other make, either of Cape or English manufacture. They were built l>v Messrs. Studebaker Brothers, Mfg. Co., who have a great vehicle factory at South Bend, Indiana, ILS.A.” Studebaker men can drive home the supreme argument that the same Studebaker Company—inspired by the same idvals; compelled to keep up that gilt'edgod reputation for quality goods; backed by the same unlimited and unexcelled manufacturing facilities—is til-educing motor vehicles which likewise have proven ■■Superior to” other makes —“Because they are Studebakers.” Studebaker men can readily make their prospe.-is understand, from the. aboii’. why the battlefields of Europa are now thickly dotted with Studebaker motor ambulances and muror transports which are giving dependable service to tho Rod Cross and the fighting forces- — “Because, they are Studebakers.”* TOURIST MOTOR CO., HASTINGS.
