August, 2016

Editor CommentaryAugust is always a great month for our club because it's when we gettogether for our annual club picnic. Once again, Billy and CharleenCarey have volunteered to organize that event. We thank them forstepping up to the plate (pun intended) again this year. Details areprovided on page 7 of this Hillholder. Please arrive by 1:30 so thatwe can be ready to sit down and eat at 2:00.

A tip of the hat also goes out to Jerry and Debi Forrester for hostingthe June meeting at their home. Long-time club member Alan Ziglintells me that it was once more common to host our meetings at aprivate home, so thanks Jerry and Debi for reviving an old practicefor our enjoyment.

Check the bottom of this page for Hellen Attaway's recipe forchocolate pound cake. Hellen baked three cakes, each a differentflavor, and donated them as door prizes at the July meeting. Thankyou, Hellen, for the wonderful cakes as well as for this recipe andothers that will be forthcoming in future issues of this newsletter.

I'd also like to take a moment to thank my wife, Guadalupe Taylor,for submitting articles for both the May and the July issues of theHillholder. I have received many positive comments from themembership about those articles. I'm guessing that we haven't seenthe last one from her yet either. We'll see. I encourage any of you tofollow suit and submit your own article or information that you'dlike to share with the other members.

Hope to see you at the picnic!

August, 2016

I enjoyed reading Guadalupe's article in the JuneHillholder. It got me thinking aboutadvertising/promotional items I have of theStudebaker Corporation and its dealerships. Onepiece I am particularly fond of is dated September,1929. It is a cardboard cutout of a man scowlingand holding a sign in front of him saying, "NONEW THRILLS IN MOTORING" You then pulldown a tab at the bottom and his scowl turns into asmile and the sign he is holding changes to say,"THEN HE BOUGHT A STUDEBAKER." Onthe reverse side it gives the prices of some of thecurrent models and lists the name and address ofthe dealer who provided this item to prospectivebuyers. To me, this is a unique and interestingpiece. One point that impresses me is that inpromoting the dealer it does NOT provide a phonenumber. I assume this speaks the how raretelephone service was at this point in history.Perhaps the dealership had a phone but maybe notmany potential buyers did not...but that is just myguess.

-Alan Ziglin-6

Thanks to Alan Ziglin for this very interesting historical item used for marketing Studebakers:
