[AT] Auction truck, now Studebaker

[Herbert Metz]

In downtown South Bend, an old elaborate home built by one of the Studebaker 
family is now a nice restaurant.    Arriving guests took the elevator to the 
second floor, then entered and made their grand entrance into the large 
reception area by coming down the open twenty foot wide wooden stairway. 
One of the many large old pictures is of their first products, farm wagons.
