Studebaker Big Six Sport Phaeton£s72 •—Can be sold at this low price because —it is built on the famous One-Profit basis Will give thousands of extra miles because— Unit-Tiuilt construction fits every part to every other part ' The Studebaker Big Six Sport Phaeton won instant popularity in the export market in 1925, when Studebaker export sales showed an increase o£ 63% over the best previous year. ■ • ■ ■•••> The world-wide popularity of this car is based on value—value made possible by Studebaker’s unique plan of One-Profit manufacture. , ■-v Studebaker*s unique facilities Few motor car “manufacturers” have foundries, forges, etc., to make their own engines—yet one-fifth of an automobile’s cost is in the engine. Even fewer build their bodies—ryet onethird of a car’s cost is in the body. Studebaker builds all its own bodies, all engines, all clutches, gear boxes, springs, differentials, steering gears, brakes, axles, grey-iron castings and drop forgings. Only Ford in the lowprice field and Studebaker in the fine car field have such complete manufacturing facilities. One-Profit value These facilities enable Studebaker to manufacture quality cars on a OneProfit basis—eliminating outside profits. The .extent of _the savings thus effected is appreciated when it is known that at one time Studebaker bought a part of its bodies from an outside supplier, but now makes all its bodies and makes better bodies, yet at a saving of as much as $250 on some models. In its own great foundries, Studebaker makes all its own castings and effects a saving of 25% in doing so. These savings arc passed on to Studebaker owners in the form of higher quality and lower prices . r • - Unit-Built construction Studebaker facilities result, too, in cars designed, engineered and built as units. The hundreds of Studebaker parts function as a unit, resulting in scores of thousands of miles of excess transportation. Always kept up-to-date Direct manufacturing control enables Studebaker to keep cars constantly up-to-date. Improvements are not saved up for spectacular annual announcements. Resale values are thus stabilized. Before you buy any car, see the Studebaker. In features of design, as in jalue.Jt offers unique^advantages.
