Truth is Mighty and Shall Prevail HE universal popularity of Studebaker Cars is attested by the fact that the corporation enjoyed the biggest business in its history in the year of 1921. The sales of Studebaker Cars were 29 per cent, greater than in 1920, notwithstanding the fact that the total number of cars sold of all other makes (except Ford) was 40 per cent, less than in 1920. Stated otherwise, Studebaker’s ratio of sales was 129 and the total of all other makes 60, as compared with 1920. The number of Studebaker Cars sold in the year of 1921 in both Greater New York and in the Metropolitan District exeeeded the sales of any other make except Ford. Studebaker is the world’s largest producer of six-cylinder cars. The only possible explanation of the popularity of Studebaker Cars lies in their quality, durability and dependable performance in users’ hands. Proof that the cars sta id up in service with minimum repairs is evidenced by the fact that our sales of Repair Parts in 1921 were 12 per cent, less than they were in 1919, notwithstanding that 118,000 new cars were sold and put in operation in 1920 and 1921. Based on the total estimated number of Studebaker Cars in operation in 1921, we sold $16.00 worth of parts per car for repairs from all causes, including accidents. The materials and workmanship in Studebaker Cars measure up to the highest standards known to the automobile industry. Substantially becter intrinsic values cannot be obtained at any price. The theory that high prices necessarily mean fine cars is fallacious, simply because prices are not based upon intrinsic values but upon production costs of individual makers, which vary widely according to their ab'lity and manufcturing facilities. Obviously high costs of production, inevitably arising from incompetence or inadequate manufacturing facilities, mean not only high prices but actually inferior cars. With $70,000,000 of actual net assets including $36,000,000 of plant facilities Studebaker stands unsurpassed in ability and resources to manufacture economically and give the greatest intrinsic value possible for a given price.
