Tho Hupmobilo Sedan
NOW Comes Greater
Hupmobile Service for
Philadelphia
wa
$
w
have organized a new company to handle the HUPMOBILE cafin this terri-
tory. It is an organization or rnnaaeipnia aucomoone traaesmcii, wnu ate
thorouchlv conversant with the needs of the city's motoring public. In making
.. kmr n -h mntnrifirR nr rniiane nma. -we are Dirascu uu rtiiiiwuiiv-c uic
introduction of greater better service facilities for HUPMOBILE owners.
Right now, we have under" way plans for the transformation of the entire bujld
ing at 44 1 -45 1 North Broad street into the most modern and most completely equipped
snowrooms and service station in the entire city. Already present HUPMOBILE
owners may enjoy an unexcelled automobile service at our new service station, where
we can 'take care of sixty cars at one time. This new service station is a part of our new
building, where we can be on the ground at alltimes to give personal attention to our
owners' needs.
Service as the Hupmobile owner knows it and
service as it is generally understood are two rad
ically different things. ,
Hupmobile service is an inti
mate, intensified system of super
vision. It keeps the owner and his
ear in close and continuous con
tact with the service station.
The service station sees to it
that every Hupmobile is tuned up
to concert pitch all the time. ,
All at no cost to the owner. He
pays with coupons, which we
supply without cost, when he
purchases his car.
The coupons cover four hours of
service labor by trained Hupmo- v
bile experts, each month for eight
months.
"1
-rfiv.
Is it worth anything to you to have a car whose
care never gives you a moment's distress? A car
which keeps you serenely and continuously
' satisfied?
That is what the Hupmobile
ovner has. He enjoys the tre
mendous advantage of expert care.
He knows that expert skill i3 ready
to cure any slight troubles that may
develop. He i3, in sh'ort, the most
contented of owners.
Can you afford even to think of
buying any car that does not afford
the equal of Hupmobije service?
Assuming that all other cars
should equal the Hupmobile in per
formance, efficiency and goodness
which, of course, they do not
this service of ours is a feature big
enough to command your decision
in favor of the Hupmobile.
Thta la tin Bltrn of
service thnt you will
bo glad'to remember. It
Is the Blen of our Serv
ice Station a sign
thnt is your nhsurnnce
of a dCBroo of service
thnt removes the Inst
Inconvenience to car
owners.
)
Hupmobile "Four" Costs Less for Upkeep
Perhaps the most important feature among-the many
virtues of the HUPMOBILE is its economy of upkeep.
While it is an impressive fact that, for power and aturdi
ness and hill-climbing ability, you cannot find a multi
cylinder car that duplicates the high-gear performance
of the HUPMOBILE FOUR, the owner gets his greatest
satisfaction from the vital fact that the HUPMOBILE
FOUR costs leas for upkeep than any other car on the
market.
It's not at all a rare occurrence for a HUPMOBILE
to run 8000 miles on a set of tires,, as numerous records
show.
And as for gasoline consumption, any HUPMO
BILE owner will give you an entirely new angle, on this
highly important miles-per-gallon problem.
Understand, we do not make these statements from
hearsay. Our conviction is born of the knowledge of
actual experiences of thousands of HUPMOBILE owners.
The HUPMOBILE will do everything that, any
reasonable man can expect of an automobile. It out
performs all the others, and it has the beautiful simplicity
and reliability of a perfect "four."
Get acquainted with our demonstrating car. Take
a jaunt with us over the hills. If you'll accept this invita
tion you will see why the HUPMOBILE should logically
be your choice, although this demonstration will put you
under no obligation.
