new addition to the library. It was
agreed to wait until spring to
paint the shelves of the library.

freshly painted this past fall and
looks very nice. An open house is
being planned in the form of a

effort to get acquainted with the
many library facilities Kotzebue 1
has to offer. Many lovely books 1
have been donated and others •
purchased so that the library 1
grows day by day. The Kotzebue <

Hooziers Add Siudebaker’s Passing to
Memory of Stutz, Maxwell, Dusenberg,
‘Other Friends who have Flown Before’
SOUTH BEND, Indiana —
The sorrow that pervades South
Bend over Studebaker Corpora
tion’s decision to stop building
automobiles in the United States
is shared by virtually every city
in Indiana.
More than 30 cities in the
Hoosier State have built cars
since Elwood Hayes assembled
an auto at Kokomo in 1894.
An amazing total of 208 differ
ent cars have been manufactured
in Indiana at one time or another.
The list of once-famous auto
names include the Apperson Jack
Rabbit, built in Kokomo; the Au
burn and Cord, in Auburn, the Du
senberg, Marmon and Stutz, all
built in Indianapolis; the Amer
ican Simplex, at Mishawaka; the
Bush and Elgar, at Elkhart; the
Durant, at Muncie; the Star, at
Peru and Ligonier; the Davis and
Westcott, at Richmond; the Max
well, at New Castle, and many
others.
Some of those cars were created
in blacksmith shops. Others were
built in factories which had been
making other items.
The last survivor, Studebaker,
came from a plant that had built
popular wagons and buggies for
30 years. But even if a product is
the last of its kind, a company
cannot continue making it indef
initely if it’s a money-loser.
The Studebaker Brothers, Henry
and Clem, began their business in
February, 1852, with a blacksmith
shop. Only three wagons were
built that first year. But by 1867,
the plant and inventory had a val
ue of $223,000. As the Studebaker
Brothers manufacturing Company,
its sales exceeded one million dol
lars in 1875, passed the two mil
lion mark in 1887. and three mil
lion in 1898.
The company started making
autos in 1902, in addition to wa
gons. The first auto was an elec
tric. In 1904, the company made
its first gasoline-powered car.
Production of horse-drawn ve
hicles was discontinued in 1920.
Two years later, its auto sales
totaled more than 100 million dol
lars, and in 1928 rose to 177 mil
lion dollars.
In 1932, a depression year, Stu
debaker went into the red for
the first time and into receivership
the next spring. But in 1939 the
company shifted to the low-priced
field and its fortunes turned for
the better. Studebaker offered the
first postwar models after World
War II and business boomed, for
a time.
Then came a decline and for
the next several years the com
pany was constantly plagued by
profit and loss difficulties. Its
merger in 1954 with another time
honored auto firm, Packard Motor
Car Company, failed to produce
the expected results and Packard
finally passed into automotive
limbo.
In 1958, Studebaker undertook
a diversification and refinancing
program, and also began produc
ing the compact Lark. The Lark
was briefly successful and in 1959
production rose to 153,000 cars.
Earnings of nearly 29 million dol
lars gave the firm its first prof
itable year since 1954.
But Lark’s failure to measure
up as a money maker, when added
to other financial woes, made the
company’s auto division even
more of a liability.
In the third quarter of 1963,
auto division losses amounted to
well over two million dollars. At
the same time, divisions turning
out farm equipment, appliances,
oil additives, and other products,
were solidly in the black.
