4-3-1909: “CHALMERS-DETROIT-THE CAR WITH A RECORD. Sold and Guaranteed by C.A. FRITZ, 17 N. SIXTH STREET... If you are figuring on a machine for this year, consult your interests by inspecting the CHALMERS-DETROIT. A demonstration car is at your disposal so that you may see the many superior qualities of the CHALMERS-DETROIT. It's the car that holds Speed, is easiest to control, requires fewer repairs, and consumes less oil and fuel. It's the neatest car on the market and is a year ahead in improvements; the 1909 model equals other factories' improvements, because IT'S THE ORIGINATING FIRM'S PRODUCTION. When you discuss automobiles, remember this one is the leader in first cost; cost of maintenance it has the world Beat. $1500 BUYS CHALMERS-DETROIT '30'-It's equal to most $2500 cars.
C.A. FRITZ, Sole Southeastern Ohio Agent. At the Original Garage, 17 N. Sixth St.”

11-8-1912: “THE '54' HUDSON – a 'SIX'. Speed: 65 Miles per Hour. 58 Miles per Hour in 30 Seconds from a standing start. It is not merely a 'Six' which is made so by the addition of two cylinders to a good four-cylinder car. It has power. But its power is not abnormal in proportion to its other parts. It has beauty. But no detail of its mechanical design is overlooked. It is completely equipped. Every detail that adds to comfort and luxury is included, but this is not done with the idea of attracting sales or through skimping in any other direction.”
7-12-1913: “WHAT'S THE USE OF PAYING MORE FOR A CAR NOT ONE WHIT BETTER? PERHAPS NOT NEARLY SO GOOD? Studebaker cars have got 'em all going, because they have more real automobile merit for the money than any of the others. Take the six (cylinder) with all the electric start and light effects, the lines, room and upholstery at only $ 1550. Compare it with other sixes. Compare the '35,' six-passenger with its electric start and lighting features, at only $1290. Where can it be approached? Take the '25' roadster at $875 and the five-passenger touring car at $885—Can you beat it? WE HAVE THEM ALL TO SHOW YOU. If you are a 'show-me' prospect, nothing would please us better than to comply. Let's hear from you soon.
C.A. FRITZ 17-19 NORTH SIXTH. OPPOSITE FIRE STATION.”
