Wanamaker & Brown Market at Sixth for 57 Years Now Hudson Owners Have This Added Advantage c Mtrt than twenty maters havt opted the Hudson SuperS!x Speedster ef last year. This new model is a marked de velopment of the car which hat served as such inspiration t other makers. The name applied to the model last season seemed t limit it to those who wanted a fast car. The new model meets every re quirement of those who detirta car of that type and still Jills the want of those who wish actzy, chummy car as richly finished in its detail as any model in the Hudson line. It is known as the Four Passenger Phaeu. LHUDSON-r jONSIDER this year's automobile question this way: The best mechanics from all repair and service stations are now needed for government service. It is vital that any car that is to be depended upon for constant service must be one that calls for the minimum of expert attention. Think what the records of 50,000 Super-Sixes now in service mean to new Hudson buyers. Every known test that would reveal the endurance limit of the Super-Six has been used to show Hudson owners how to build so that a minimum of service would be necessary. , Records of the performance of thou sands of Hudson Super-Sixes as their owners have found them have been kept. This, too, was done so that Hudson engineers could make subsequent models more reliable and last ing. All that has been learned in the building of 50,000 Super-Sixes now in the hands of satisfied owners has served well in' the building of the new series of Hudsons. Hudson owners use their cars with the same confidence in their relia bility that they do their watches. One is not conscious of the mechanism of a fine watch. Reliability and dependability are .demanded. And so it is with the mechanical superiority of the Hudson' This year the Hudson series has ten different body types: open models, inside owner-driven cars, chauffeur-driven cars, smart town car models and formal limousines.

This fleet was built up after they had tried 2i trucks of three other make la competition with f Fierce-Arrows. After this test they sold all ethers and standardised with Pierce-Arrows. This experience has been repeated in hundreds of instances, different only in detail, from the largest single fleet of 165 Pierce-Arrow trucks down to fleets of 8 or 4 trucks, operated in every section of the country. PIERCE-ARROW Motor Trucks must make good because we sell them only where we know they will do the work. In these days of limited production, we want each truck to propa gate future sales.
