Studebaker, one of the founders and present chairman of the Board of Directors of the Studebaker Corporation, Detroit and Canada, migrated from Holland in 1736, nearly 200 years ago, and sailed for America. In 1552, sixty-four years ago, the Studebakers made the first wagons at their blackmith's 6hop, South Bend, Indiana. Prom then onwardsthey have built up the great Studebaker Corporation with a capital to-day of over eight million pounds sterling. In the Boer war Lord Eoberts pronounced Studebaker wagons the best ever used .by the British Army. For the present war Great Britain's purchases from the Studebaker Co. have aggregated four million pounds sterling. The Russian Government ordered one thousand Studebaker cars, and the French Government have been enormous purchasers from the Studebaker Co. during the present war.

Adams, Limited, New Zealand, distributors of the Studebaker motors, Christchurch, have agents, in all towns. -Advl.
