THE AUTOCRAT
OF PARKWAYS
This is the aristocrat of Hudson Super-Sixes. Those who
admire -a Town Car will find in this the moot exquisite
model that ever has been designed. This is the work of
master craftsmen who have won international fame.
It is their conception o'f a stunning Town Car, unstinted in
whatever adds to luxury and beauty. It is built for people
who want in a city car something superb and distjnetive.
A car which will 'dominate in any crowd.
But only a few can get it, Only 300 are to be built this
year. And they are for all America. So the car will be
exclusive. The Super-Six invention gives to Hudson this
year supremacy in motors. In efficiency, endurance and
smoothness no other motor compares with it. Eight new
style bodies have been created to chord with this marvel
motor.

This Semi -Annual
Reduction Sale
of
PERRY OVERCOATS
AND SUITS
is without parallel in the
practice of sale clearances!
1$ The reason is that Perry's Stock of Suits and
Overcoats is full of the finest and most expensive
fabrics it is possible to make. Perry's buy the
finest woolens that money can buy, and thcrc'3
not an exclusive tailor, we don't care where, who
can show you better or finer fabrics than you'll
find right here all the time in Perry Overcoats and
Perry Suits. And the same thing is true of every
thing else that goes into their making the finest
linings, trimmings even buttons and thread.
And as for the tailoring, the individuality and
style we know of alleged exclusive custom tailors
who bought Perry "N. B. T." garments just for
the sake of getting a line on tnn secret of their
"N. B. T." fit and style!
J That's one of the reasons which constitute
Perry Reduction Sales in a class of their own.
They present an opportunity to get the finest
clothes made, or that it's possible to make, at
savings on prices which were bed ropk in the first,
place. Hundreds and hundreds of men bide their
time each year to buy their supply of clothes on
this occasion, and we'd like to put you wise to it
right at the start for right at the start is the
time to get in on it ! There will be no better time
than today and tomorrow!
