Among the hnrd-boltcd old-Elmers
who own factories around town, it is
noted few have chnngcd the signs on
their plants to read "Shoppe."
Not many Sundays pass in any
of our churches "without the singing
of the ever-popular souk "The little
Brown Church in the Vale," which is
a beautiful composition, set to music
that always pleases tha ear.
This is an old song, written some
66 or 7(Lytars ago by Dr. William
8. Pitts, und It will possibly survive
all ages to come. It is doubtful 'f
many know that the original Littlo
Brown Church is standing today in a
pretty grove In Chickasaw Count)
Iowa.
A Few months ago the St. LouN
Post-Dispatch carried a long article
about the history of the shrine? that
lias 'become and the .ilstory of the
noted song, the words and music of
which are Indeed inspiring:
"There's a church in the valley by
the wlldwood—
No lovllier place in the dale:
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the
vale."
The church was built under great
difficulty, a small band of people wor-
shipping in the old town of Brad
ford, Iowa.Vome times in the school
house, in the hotel dining room, In
private homes, and part of the time
in an old store building without win-
dows, which was used for a sheep
shed in winter. It was in the days
of the stage coach., the nearest rail-
road being 100 miles away. Money
was scarce, crop conditions were bad
owing to wet weather, and the pastoi
received only $4 in money for hU
salary, the balance being in produce.
Much of the details connected with
(he building of the church must nec-
essarily he omitted on account of the
length. however, part of the story
in the" words of the author of the
song is here reproduced:
The spot where the "Little Brow;
Church" now stands was a setting
of rare beauty. There was no church
ihere, but the spot was there wait-
ing for it. When back in my home
I wrote the song, "The Little Brown
Church in the Vale," I put the manu-
script away. In the spring of 1862 I
returned to Iowa and settled at Fred-
ericksburg, Inasmuch as my wife's
people were there, In the winter of
lSU:i-4 i taught a singing school at
Bradford. Wo held our school in the
brick building known as the acade-
my. In 1S59 and 1800 the good people
of Bradford determined to build a
church. 1 will not undertake to tell
of the trials, tlio disappointment! and
successes that followed; suffice it to
say by the early winter of 1^04 the
building was ready for dedication. I
I
While I was holding the singing:
school, near its close in the spring,.
the class went one evening to the i
.church. It was not then seated, but
j crude seats were improvised. My
j manuscript of the song I i ad brought
j with me from Wisconsin. It had
never been stmg before by anyone
but myself. I sang it there. Soon
after I took the manuscript to Chi-
cago. It was published by H. M.
Riggins.
Soon after its publication the
church at Bradford, which had been
painted brown, became known as the
"Little Brown Church in the Vale."
Weddings are very numerous, es-
pecially through May and June
Bridal parties came as far as 100
miles to have the ceremony perform-
ed at its altar, often bringing their
own pastor and attendants. Some
of these occasions are not without
their humorous side. One party se-
cured their license in another county
which adjoins Chickasaw. The cere-
mony was read in the church, then
the party drove to the^ county line
• and the minister repeated the form
and filled in the certificate, thus com-
plying with the law which requires
that the marriage take place within
the county issuing the license.
Some, criticism has been made be-
cause of the fee of $5 which has
been levied by the board of trustees
for all weddings in the church. This
came into effect about two years ago
because frequently wedding parties
would destroy books, tearing out the
leaf containing the. song, writing their
names on the walls and otherwise
disfiguring the place. It was thought
that since the church has only a
small membership and not much in-
come. a means should be provided to
keep the property in order.
All visitors, who number hundreds
each week through the tourla ; >.o t-
iton. are requested to register their
names ill a book. Names are en-
rolled from nearly all civilized coun-
tries. In June, 1915, the fifties an-
niversary of the dedication of the
(hurch was celebrated. Pitts and it-'
first pastor, Rev. Nutting, bei'ig
present.
The Rev. Nutting died in Crystal
Springs, Fla., September 17, I'M7.
Dr. Pitts passed away at the h'.r.i > o«
his son In Brooklyn, N. Y. Septem-
ber 25, 1918. and was buried at Fred-
ericksburg, Iowa.
Still the Little Brown Church
stands, and the bell peals forth its
call:
"O, come, come, come, come,
Come to the church hv the wildwood.
O come to the church in the dale."
And the people come. From far
und near, folks of all religious faith
meet here in common worship, for-
getting, for a time at least, the divi-
sions of creeds and traditions.—Fx.

D\bw- a One-Profit Car
in the Quality Field
%
STUDEBAKER has achieved one-profit manufacture in the
quality field. This marks a new era in the automobile industry.
Studebaker's achievement eliminates unnecessary profits running
up to $500 on a single car. It banishes double overhead. It results
in quantity production of qualify cars. It vitally affects pricing by
establishing a new criterion of value in the fine car field.
W E N T Y - F I V E
yenrs qro practically
all "manufacturers"
of automobiles were
nothing more than assem-
blers. They purchased mo-
tors, bodies, tops, axles, etc.,
from parts makers who were
the manufacturers in reality.
On this basis it was easy
to become an automobile
"manufacturer," and more
than five hundred makes of
automobiles have had their
day in the American market
and disappeared. They are
represented only by "orphan
cars" with practically no re-
sale value.
Notwithstanding this writ-
ing on the wall many manufac-
turers still assemble their "
product, piling profit upon
profit for the ultimate purchaser to pay. Each profit
which a maker pays to a body builder or parts sup-
plier enters into his co.ts just as though he had
spent the money for steel or plate glass or uphol-
stery. Although it represents no value he not only
passes it on to the purchaser but figures his own
profit on top of it.
* * * •
The Ford is a one-profit car and reigns supreme
in its field.
In the fine car field Studebaker—and Stude-
taker alone—now offers the American public one-
profit values.
During the past seven years, when demand ex-
ceeded supply, Studebaker has been plowing earn-
ings back into oltnts and machinery until we are
now able to make thh announcement.
Foundries, stamping mills, machine shops, are
now complete. As final links in the chain ot one-
profit production, the enormous Studehaker body
plants have been operating for months at peak
capacity. Resources totaling one hundred million
dollars pre concentrated on the production of this
one-profit car.
No cthtr individual manufacturer in the world
(except Fori) possesses such facilities for the com-
pute mar.'.ifacture of automobiles.
That is why Studebaker is able to put finer
steel, finer v. ... ilr.er upholstery, better work-
ir.anship, hundreds of thousands of miles of re-
Why Studebaker is the
one-profit" car
Thro? nrr fnorr thnn (50 makes of
patsriluT ears built in the United
States, but very few are manufac-
tured complete in t lie plants of tlie
prtxlucers who sell them.
Only 42 build nil their nwn motors
—und one of the 42 is Studebaker.
Of the 42 which claim to make
their own motors onlv 14 make tha
iron castings, stampings and fortf-
itw< winch ro into their motors—
and one of the 14 is Studebaker.
Only 5 make all their own bodies
and one of the 5 is Studebaker.
Only 2 make all their own motors,
bodies, clutches, springs, axles, Kcar
sets, differentials and sieering Kear.
One of these 2 is Studcbukcr and the
other is Ford.
serve transportation, into
every car—yet keep down the
price to you.
This sound manufacturing
principle not ordy holds down
price, but it insures a better
car regardless of price. The
car is not a patchwork, but
a unit.
Last year at the New York
and Chicago automobile
shows four well-known auto-
mobile manufacturers ex-
hibited coaches mounted with
the same body—a body made
from the identical dies, jig3
and fixtures. Certainly these
manufacturers must have
sacrificed engineering advan-
tages in chassis construction
to accommodate this "stand-
ardized" joach body built by
an outside supplier.
Contrast this with Studebaker, where the entire
car is designed and built as a unit—and engineered
complete. This construction means (1) longer life
—(2) greater comfort in riding—(3) greater freedom
from repair expense—(4) greater resale value.
With the advent of this one-profit-one-overhead
plan of motor car manufacture, it is folly today to
buy a car by the same comparisons you used
yesterday. Today you must measure all cars with
this "one-profit" Studebaker.
One fourth of all American passenger cirs built
today belong in the fine car field—a total of 57
different makes selling above one thousand dollars.
There are 21 Studebaker body styles available
on three different chassis. The Standard Six Models,
113-inch wheelbase, 50 h.p. engine, $1125 to $1600
f.o.b. factory. The Special Six Models, 120-inch
wheelbase, 65 h.p. engine, $1-150 to $2120 f.o.b.
factory. And the Big Six Models, 127-inch wheel-
base, 75 h.p. engine, $1875 to $2050 f.o.b. factory.
And you may buy your Studebaker today with
the assurance that it will not be arbitrarily stig-
matized by any act of ours as a "lust year's model."
Instead of spectacular annual announcements of
"new yearly models," Studebaker has adopted the
policy ol keeping its cats up-to-date in body styles
and chassis design every day in the year. There-
fore, buy your Studebaker now/
