(very dimly prospective ? oil land in ' Loving County. Texas, today re newed his acquaintance with work. Simultaneously, he relunctantly Rave up his newly acquired prestige as leading social light and "mostest moneyed man" of San Francisco's colored section. William, it seems. is not an oil millionaire at all ? not even a near millionaire ? as he has tried for the last several days to make the world at large believe. However, he has a vivid imagination, and that is some thing William unmuds and by vigor ous arm work imparts a shining su part-of an open air parking grounds here. That is, he did until the end of last week. Then it became bruited about his immediate neighborhood that Wil Jliam had suddenly come into great and unexpected wealth from oil. I Some person with a nose for news I ? or possibly it might have been - iMistah Cochran himself ? kindly tipped off the newspapers. An army (Of reporters and camera men 'promptly swooped down. j They pried Mlstah Cochran loose I from a mob of auto salesmen, diam ond venders and real estate agents and got him Into a far corner. "How about this million dollars you just got for your oil lands," they de | rmtnded. I M istah Cochran was reluctant to italk. It was Just the proper degree of reluctance fo be convincing. I " 'Taint no million dollars at all," he finally admitted. "It's only three Iiundr?-d and fifty thousand. " After that still reluctantly, ho told | his story. Six months ago. Just bo- I fore lie ca-mo to California, he said. j ne was induced to buy SO acres of' land in Loving County, Texas. Later! he went, and looked at the land. ?t j was all sand. 80 he kissed hlsj money goodbye. * Last Thursday, Mistah Cochran | continued. . two "white gem mens'* ;! suddenly appeared at his auto laun-j dry. They offered him $350,000 fori his land, and he accepted. He pulled ( a bank book which showed In most approved bank chirography a de-J posit of the alleged purchase prlc?;. I All went well and everybody be lieved in William's suddenly nc- 1 qutred wealth, until the story got down into Texas. Loving County it seems, has 110 oil; it is not even near an oil producing section. " 'Taint Loving County? it's Lor Ing County," declared William when confronted with facts. There is no Loring County in Texas. William spent most of Tuesday being "fluid degreed" by reporters. Tuesday night he admitted the truth. /'The most est ah ever got outen that land was stung," he declared. "Ah told some promotahs here about it and they said they'd send a man down an' look at It and if 'twas any good they'd perniote it. They gives me a 'greement saying I ult $10,000 as soon as do man gits back ? per vidln' the land's got oil on it. After that I'm to pet $340,000 more when dey sells do stock.

Also he's fired the substitute whom he hired to unmud autos for him while he basked in the counter feit spotlight of opulence. And if his cup of grief isn't sufficiently full, it might be added that his best girl has totally deserted him.

The majority said, "We did not even leek at the Studebaker." Most of them bought new models of the car they owned before. Yet Studebaker is a leader in the fine-car field today. Studebaker builds more quality cars than any other plant in the world. Studebaker is the sensation of mod who bought rivals of Stude * * em Motordom. Its amaz ing growth signifies a. new situation in this field. Last year, 145,167 fine car buyers paid $201,000, 000 for Studebaker cars. Nearly three times as many as in 1920. Is it fair to yourself ? or fair to us ? not to learn the reasons for this trend?

That matchless strength in vital See the Studebakers Studebaker builds more fine cars than any other plant in the world. Last year 145,167 wise motor car buyers paid $201,000,000 for Studebakers. The demand has almost trebled in the past three years. Studebaker now holds a leading place in the high-grade field. Our modern plants and their equipment cost $50,000,000. All to give you the maxi mum value at the minimum of cost. It is folly to buy a car in this class without knowing what we give. parts comes from the costliest steels. For some we add 15% to the quoted price to get exactness in them. That Chase Mohair, used in our closed cars, is made from the soft fleece of Angora goats. Cotton or ordinary wool, or a combination of both, could reduce our price $100 to $150 per car, but it would sacrifice Studebaker quality.
