Examples such as these have made the stabil- ity of the manufacturer of inéreas- ing importance Automobile buyers do business with companies which are in the automobile business to stay. '"The biggest reason for the un- irecéedented demand for Studebaker | cars throughout Canada, aside from the quality of the cars themselves is the stability of the builders, the fact that they have been in business for more than sixty-four years, and their reputation for always having given exceptional value for the*meo- ney, And of course in naming reas- ons, it should always be mentioned Studebaker cars the great factories in Walkerville." 65 5,900 50 Afghanistan. .
