THE LEADING- AMERICAN CAll-THE "STUDEBAKER." In these days when any foreign-sound-ing name is apt to come under suspicion of enemy origin it is just as well to give the facts regarding the word "Studebaker," as applied to one of tho bestknown motor-cars in the world. Studebaker is a Dutch name. The ancestors of the present chairman of the Studebaker Corporation, Mr. J. M. .Studebaker, left Holland 180 years ago for America, so that the Studebaker family in America to-day belongs to the ' old "Knickerbocker" aristocracy of American society. They are no longer Dutch, but as assuredly and undoubtedly- American as Mr. Theodore Eoosevelt or the Vander r hilts. It may be as well to mention, too, that the Studebaker Corporation has been a very active holper of the Allied cause during the present war, subscribing a million dollars to the Allies' war loan, and contracting to supply onormous quantities of motor vehicles for Britain, ltussia ,and France. During tho South African war the Studebaker firm supplied Britain with military wagons, and Lord Roberta pronounced tho S'ludcbaker. wagons lo bo the best ever used by the British army in tho field. The Studebaker firm has been p.-tablisbpd in America for sixty-four years. It is n purely American unicorn, financed by American capital, controlled by Americans, aud with a head oliico ,at South Bond, Indiana; Studebaker cars arc designed by Americans, built out of American material, in.Amorieau aud Canadian factories by American and Canadian workmen. Wo have to announce that a shipment of Studebaker cars is due to arrivo by tho Pnkeha. direct from the Canadian factories in Walkersville, Ontario, Canada. Adams Ltd., N.Z.
