FIVE FOR A
QUARTER
That’s AH It Costs to Buy Good
Cigars Today. Smokers
Everywhere Enthusiastic
It seems out of the question to
some smokers—but the sober truth
is that there is a good cigar now
selling at 5c. It sold at more than
a nickel for years. It became so
popular that the makers put the
price down to five cents. And im
proved the quality. Sales mounted.
Men like it because it is mild, fra
grant and satisfying as only ripe
tobacco can be. Millions are sold.
Yet some smokers hold back. They
can’t quite believe in any cigar sell
ing at 5c, no matter how well it’s
established. It you’re an unbeliever
you’re standing in your own light.
Ask for “Havana Ribbon” and pro
duce a nickel. Then, put on the
work with that cigar. Smoke it
fast or slowly. Notice its aroma,
mildness, sweetness. Notice how it
satisfies you without leaving you
fed up. You’ll bank on Havana
Ribbon from then on.

POWER (According to the rat-,
ings of the Society of
f Automotive Engineers, the Studebaker
Dictator is the most powerful car of its
size and weight in the world. Twenty-'
one 4-passenger Coupes or Victorias of
other makes, selling for $20 to $1445
'more than The Dictator Victoria, have
less power.' ~~
^More than $100 wortiTof extra equipment
Front and rear bumpers; no-draft ventilating windshield (exclu
sively Studebaker); engine thermometer and hydrostatic gasoline
gauge on the dash; coincidental lock; oil filter; automatic windshield
cleaner; rear-vision mirror; rear traffic signal light; 4-wheel brakes;
: full-size balloon tires; disc wheels; two-beam acorn headlights
and cowl lights, controlled from steering wheel; front spring brakes;
dome light; Efutler finish hardware; upholstery of rich mohair with
exquisite broadlace trim. ' .
VAL UE *ts economical 0Perati°n^
rivals its low first cost
low because Studebaker builds practically
every vital part for this car in its own
plants and thereby saves the profits of
outside parts-makers. These savings are
returned to you in extra equipment, a
bigger and more powerful motor, and
fine-quality workmanship and materials.
