R. BENSON (Vice-president the Studebaker Cor poration.) Readers of advertising the world over are thoroughly familiar with many of the short, pithy phrases which one comes to assoctate with various commodities. Most of us can name off-hand at least a dozen of the best known. As a rule they are something more than well-worded sentiments In prisce of goods. Sometimes one of them is almost photographic in its production of the moving sentiment of an entire manufacturing and sales organization. This convincing sort of slogan is, in fact, the one that the reader bears longest in mind. As ojter as not, these slogans are the result of accident. Some dealer or some customer, by one ot' those happy turns of speech, voices his belief In a product. The wise salesman hears of It, recognizes Its value, and the phrase becomes known all over the world. For some time, our advertising has featured the phrase, "Buy it because it's a Studebaker." Often 1 am asked where this sentiment was llrst phrased in its adopted form. And always I am forced to admit that we don't know. One of our dealers insists that it was first heard in his sales room from the lips of a Studebaker owner who had escorted a friend to his store and was helping the salesman in his proof of Studebaker superiority. There is a traveling representative on our staff who insists that he brought such an incident back to the factory from one of his trips, and told it to a num ber of frlepds. At the South Bend Studebaker headquarters there are veterans who insist that "Buy it be cause it's a Studebaker" dates back, in its first application, beyond the days when automobiles were known as horseless carriages. Whatever its origin, we all know that, since we have been using the phrase in our advertising, it has be come a focus of Studebaker sentiment to whifch every member of our organi zation looks often, consciously or un consciously, for guidance in his day's work. The first rough sketch made by a Studebaker engineer is all the better for th'e fact that the engineer knows people will be buying its embodiment in steel "Because it's a Studebaker." The same sentiment is In the minds of our manufacturing department, and many a workman takes additional pride in the efficiency of his machine, the output of which commands a mar ket, "Because it's a Studebaker." In the sales organization, the slo gan lias a still different meaning. There it symbolizes Studebaker ser vice. Men who own Studebaker oars say "Buy it because it's a Studebaker' to their friends, basing the advice not only on the performance of their own cars, but also on the fact that they have themselves tested Studebaker service and know that it Is prompt and efficient. Of course, these sentiments had ani mated our organization long before the Studebaker slogan was ever set up in cold type. Were this not true, the slogan would never have been born. Its summary, however, Into six crisp, expressive words has crystallized all this sentiment and made it an expres sion of creed for the whole Studebaker organization, and a promise which binds us all to its fulfillment. With our plan of advertising, Kales and naunufacture all based on the Studebaker slogan, there is one ani mating purpose for the whole Stude baker organization—a purpose which permeates all its departments- of ac tivity and makes harmony an auto matic adjunct. Our slogan, "Buy it because it's a Studebaker," may have been first ex ploited as a sales help. It has proven ever more valuable, however, as an expression of the spirit of our organi zation. So long as we continue to live up to this sentiment, we know we can justly feel assured of con tinued and sustained business suc cess. Abbott Local Branch Makes Many Improvements C. D. Stewart, eastern representa tive for the Abbott Motor Car Com pany, is having a number of alter ations made at the local factory branch, 106-108 South Second street.

The following instance is char acteristic of how the machines made good: On one ten-mile run, which; was covered several times weekly, the team required one and a half hours', each way, while a motorcycle did it in j thirty mluutes, saving two hours on j this trip alone. The use of motor cycles enabled the inspectors and ser vice crew to cover the territory more frequently and at less cost than with any other method of transportation heretofore used. The company is so well pleased with the showing made by the motorcycles that it will place several more in service this year." Cadillac Covers 105,000 Miles in Two Year's Service One hundred and five thousand miles in two years is the actual record made by a Cadillac used in the ser vice of the police department of Bir mingham, Ala. This patrol is in ser vice day and night and is obliged to make its runs in all conditions of weather and over all kinds of roads. In spite of the hard wear it has re ceived, and the extra weight it carries the car is apparently good for many more thousands of miles. The patrol wagon was built on a standard Cadillac chassis with a body, built in Birmingham, which weighs 700 pounds more than the ordinary body of a five-passenger Cadillac. Frequently the car carries from 12 to 15 passengers in addition to this extra weight. The "Auto Paint Shop" to Be Opened by Redmond Andrew Redmond has made ar rangements to open a paint shop de voted exclusively to the painting of automobiles.

Three of these were taken this week.

FEBRUARY 7, 1914. HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF tf]T Two years ago the 1912 Cadillac with its Electric Lights and Til Starter caused the Automobile World to stand in wonder. f]T Manufacturers hesitated, then their Ad-men and Salesmen be- TJ gait the "anvil chorus," while the engineering corps secretly got very busy chasing after anything that sounded like electric starter. #TJ But the public saw relief from the hated cranking, and annoy *il ing lights, and in spite of loud protestations they took a chance on 12,000 Cadillacs with the "complicated" contrivances. f Their faith in the Cadillac was not betrayed—their dream was realized. fTT History is again repeating itself. This time the hammers are dl- rected on the Cadillac two-speed rear axle. #|T But, fortunately, the automobile enthusiast cotirts improve ments, and is willing to be convinced—And, he can readily see that if a manufacturer can make one pair of gears, he ought to bo able to make another pair differing only by a few more or less teeth. Also, if he has proven by years of experience that it is possible to design mechanism to satisfactorily make four or more shifts in the ordinary transmission where there are eight or more gears, certainly he should be able to contrive to make a shift be tween two gears in the rear axle. i g]T The public is convinced, as Is evidenced by the fact that they ' have Uready purchased nearly as many 1914 Cadillacs as the next three largest builders of cars selling at or above the Cadillac price combined. g]l The great advantages of the quiet double direct drive, no one con tradicts, but you can more thoroughly appreciate it after riding in the car.
