6 HUDSON Six-40 for 1915 With 31 New Features New Price $1,550 F. O. B. Detroit Your Model Car At an Unexpected Price The HUDSON Six-40 for 1915 brings out 32 sur prises. There are 31 new features—each an important refinement. And there is a new price—s2oo less than last year —due to a trebled output. This new-tvpe Six came out last year to mark the HUDSON conception of the coming car. The HUDSON Engineers—headed by Howard E. Coffin—had devoted three years to the model. By clever designing and bettet materials they attained a remarkable lightness. By a new-type motor they reduced operative cost about 30 per cent, under former cars of like capacity. It was the handsomest car of the year. It offered many new ideas in equipment. And the price—$I.7so—was the lowest price quoted on a quality car, either Fours or Sixes. That car was so welcome that the enormous factory output was 3,000 cars oversold. 31 Refinements Now these same engineers—4B of them—have spent a whole year on refinements. The new model—for 1915 —with 31 important improvements. The output has been trebled. And the quantity sav ing—$200 per car—has been taken from the price. Now this quality Six—the finest HUDSON production —sells for $1,550, f. o. b. Detroit. This new HUDSON Six-40 will meet your ideals of a car. There was never built at any price a more ex quisite Six. It will place any four-cylinder car out of the question at a price above $1,200. This new model now here. Don't buy until you see it. I. W.

OHM FIOTORT LARGEST IN WORLD Additional Buildings Will Make Total of Sixty Acres of Floor Space Extensive enlargements now in the course of construction by the Willys- Overland .Company, Toledo, will make that factory the largest in the world devoted exclusively to the manufacture of automobiles. Tie enlargements will add more than u million feet of available working spate to the enor mous plant. When completed the factory will consist of sixty-four buildings, contain ing an aggregate of mote than sixty acres of floor space. It be more than one-fourth again as .Ita-ge as any other motor car factory in world. The phenomenal increase in Overland business has forced a corresponding growth in the size of the factory. The production of 50,000 cars in \ single ' season crowded the plant to %ie ut- I most. A greater amount of spa\e has I been rendered necessary to makeyoom i for the manufacture or the new Over land six-cylinder car, which wiU be ready for delivery to purchasers in\he early fall, and by a further increase in production. Since the Toledo factory was pur chased, in 1909, by John X. WlUjt there has never been a time when lesy than half a million dollars' worth 01 construction was in progress. Among' the new additions is a single buiidUig which has a greater area than that of the entire original Toledo plant. It i% a structure 410 feet wide and 500 feet long, consisting of four stories and a basement. The building is con structed entirely of reinforced con crete, erected on a foundation of con crete piling. The basement will be used for storage, while the remainder of the space will be used for body building, upholstering, painting, as sembling and machine shops. Con struction has already been completed as far as the third floor. The entire building will be ready for occupancy in a short time. Another large building, which will be devoted entirely to building coupes and open bodies, is 400 feet in length and 200 feet wide. Its two stories and basement have been completed and all the new machinery has been installed. Like the majority of the new buildings of the Willys-Overland factory, this structure is of reinforced concrete, with large exterior areas of glass, allowing the maximum amount of light during the day. At the rear of the new body plant is an enormous drying kiln 236 feet long and 144 feet wide, with a capacity for handling 12,600 feet of one-loot lum ber ih a workday of twenty-four hours. The ten separate kilns which make up the unit plant are kept supplied by means of an ingenious system of tracks which facilitates the handling of the lumber. A new power plant, 162 by 134 feet, is being built of structural steel faced with brick. Power will be furnished by four McNaul water tube boilers, each of which Is capable of developing 500 horsepower. The huge chimney is 205 feet 3 inches high, measuring 18>£ feel across the base, with a diameter of 12V4 feet at the feet. The plant will heat the new additions to the factory and supply steam for the drying kilns and the powerful hammers of the drop forge shops. A two-story addition to the black smith shop will contain 7,000 square feet. There is also under construction a tunnel under the railway tracks near the shipping platforms which will en able mechanics to take cars to and from the testing oval without crossing the tracks. When completed the Willys-Over land factory will contain the very latest facilities for manufacturing au tomobiles and their parts known to the mechanical world. Many new ma chines and labor-saving devices are being designed and erected to handle the great production of the plant. MacManus Affiliates With Dunlap-Ward Co. Announcement of the affiliation of Theodore F. MarManus, formerly president of the MacManus company, with the Duniap-Ward Advertising company of Detroit and Chicago has been made to Detroit business circles. The move is regarded as one of the most important developments In the advertising agency business in some years and is being widely discussed by the advertising fraternity in this city. Mr. MacManus has a national repu tation both as an advertising counselor and as a brilliant writer, and has been notably successful in supervising the advertising campaigns for several of Detroit's largest motor car concerns. His experience embraces practically every phase of advertising and sales promotion. It is understood that he brings several large accounts to the Duniap-Ward company. James M. Dunlap, president of the Duniap-Ward company, who has also been very active in the field of motor car advertising, expressed great pleas ure at the affiliation of Mr. MacManus ■with his company. As a result of the arrangement, Detroit gains one of the strongest agencies in the middle west. Plans are under way to increase the staff of the Detroit offices of the Duniap-Ward company in order to take care of the increased business. One of the strongest assets of the company In the past has been the per sonal service rendered to clients and increased effort will be put forth to mklhtain this enviable record. Mr. MacManus transferred his headquarters to the Duniap-Ward of fices on July 13th, matters having been so arranged as to permit no interrup tion in service to his clients^ USES TORPEDO ON RORO HOG MOTORIST "Uncle Dan" Schnabel Finds Sure Remedy For Common Motoring Pest One of the summer touring annoy ances Is always the motorist who monopolizes the center of the high way. regardless of the rate at which he is traveling, and thereby compels those who want to pass him, to do so at either inconvenience or consider able risk. Three or four such drivers, scat tered along a dusty, narrow highway, can remove from the motoring pleas ure of others so much that there is little left. Since July 4, however, such experi ences have not befallen "Uncle Dan" Schnabel, a veteran motorist of Johns town, PA. "Uncle Dan" now takes the road prepared for just such emer gencies. His Independence Day celebration took the form of a jaunt from Johns town to Altoona—a famous mountain road. He had also provided himself and party with a plentiful supply of noisemakers and fireworks. Several miles out of Johnston, on a narrow part of the highway, "Uncle Dan's" Studebaker "Six" caught up with a roadhog. In vain "Urtcle Dan" manipulated his electric horn. The car ahead kept doggedly in the center. In sheer pique "Uncle Dan" reached into a handy sack and extracted a giant torpedo which he hurled toward .the other car. It hit the stone road Vinder the car ahead, and let go with \ bang. The roadhog immediately Billed out at the side of the road. tncle Dan" and the Studebaker s ™PPt by. As he looked back, "Uncle Pi.' saw the crew of the other car fratyeally inspecting all four tires to find the suspected blowout. experience was enough. As he Picket, up car after car on the nar row fountain road, "Uncle Dan" never Vsitated. One torpedo and he had tb*. road. Since then, he never takes hy Studebaker out on any of the mountain highways without full equipment, of torpedoes. . His exftrience finds a parallel in the case the Ohio motorist who tound his'Studebaker "Four" often blocked by \ load of hay. According to his narrative he has equipped th« cnr with a horn which neighs like a \orse. Driving close up under the rertAof the load, he neighs his horn.

As the run was made undf tho auspices of the Chicago Club, it is understood the recort w m stand as official. The Patterson car carried four 9s _ sengers, Mr. Patterson, Ed lmras 0 ( Detroit, the relief driver, and the v servers, J. E. Williams and Gollati. Relays of pilots were r cruited from cities along the routl The passengers ate their meals in th< car and took what little sleep thej could get on the road. The distance, according to the offi cial route book, is 1,032 miles, but the speedometer indicated 1,050 miles. Mr. Patterson made the trip in the Packard Six which he has driven for more than a year. 1800 Cars Shipped in June Is Saxon Record Records for previous months in the shipments of Saxon cars were broken during the month of June, when 1,800 machines, or an average of seventy cars a day for twenty-six working days, went forward from the factory in Detroit. These cars were shipped to ail parts of the country, and brought the total number of Saxons delivered in the past four months to 5,000. The biggest day produced a high mark of 102 cars, that number being the out put on June 22. The June output which was In ex cess of the production schedule showed an increase of close tQ 100 per cent, over the record for May. It was necessary to turn down some or ders. a number of dealers requesting double and triple their original allot -1 ment. One dealer in the east asked for a carload a day, while another 1 in the west put in a bid for an entire trainload of cars during the month. Throughout the south and middle west the demand was also unusually 1 bfisk. This showing by the Saxon Motor company Is unprecedented in the his -1 tory of the automobile industry for any concern during Its first year after 1 starting production. According to C. • F. Jamison, sales manager, the biggest 1 task, despite the size of the shipments, ■ was to keep up with the flood of or ders that came in to the factory. , The remarkable records in shlp ' ments are attributed largely to a num ber of unusual performances to the credit of cars now in service, par ticularly the 3,389-mile trip across the continent by the Lincoln Highway Saxon car, and the average of 34.53 miles per gallon of gasoline made by more than one hundred Saxons in as many cities on the occasion of the na tion-wide 200-mile nonstop runs. MOTORCYCLE: AIDS MISSIONARY The Rev. V. M. Wachs, a mission ary In Korea, has found his motorcycle a valuable help to him In his work, both because of its low cost of opera tion, and the time it saves him in go ing from charge to charge. Mrs. Wachs, who is in Korea with her hus band, also accompanies him on his trips. "As an example of what our motor cycle means to us," says Dr. Wachs. "take this little trip which we made together recently. We left Yeng Byen a little after eight on Sunday morn ing, went out twenty-three miles, and I preached at two places and wife taught a Sunday School class, and we were both back before flv e in the afternoon. If I had made the same trip traveling the way I did before I got the motorcycle, I would have been gone the better part of two days." HUDSON NEW MODEL ' RECEIVED BY DILI s Light Six Has Thirty-one New Fea tures and Sold For Less Money "Last year it was excellence, this year It Is superexeellpnce." is the way I. W. Dill expressed himself in re ferring to the liew Hudson Six-40, which reached Harrlsburg to-day. This is the second year of the Hudson Six-40. It Introduced a new type mo tor. small bore and long stroke, which bad made new economy records in Europ'e. It set a new record in light ness, with a weight of 2,980 pounds. And. with Its stream-line body, its 5 finish and upholstery, it was among the finest cars of the year. This year's car Is even more beauti ful, more powerful and more eco nomical. according to those who have seen it and tested the power possi bilities. It shows many fresh con veniences, numerous new ideas, fre , quent additions to comfort and luxury. . Yet because of increased output, les , sened cost of raw materials, Improved , | machinery and by still more efficient . factory management It was possible to reduce the price S2OO. so the Six-40 sells this year for $1,550 f. o. b. 1 factory. Thirty-one new refinements are fea tured this year, although the mechan ical excellence attained last year makes the car basically about the same as lr,st year. But they have added com fort and conveniences. They have sim plified the starting and lighting sys- I terns. They simplified the wiring and [ run tho wires in tubes. They attained better carburetion. added an auto matic spark advance. The speedometer now is driven from the transmission. There are self-lubricating bushings in parts hard to oil. And there is still less weight. In thirty-one such ways the engineers have given to details 1 their final touches to make simplicity, refinement and good motor car engi neering. and NOTES A motorcycle special delivery com pany has been established in Macon, Ga. And although in business but a short time, the company already has many patrons. A single rider on a motorcycle is now doing the work of three bicycle deliverymen, at the Crosby Depart ment store at Topeka, Kas. About fifty motorcycles are used by the Bell Telephone company in Alle gheny county. Pa. The county Is very rough and hilly, and the two-wheeler is about the only vehicle which can successfully cover it. Twenty-flve thousand miles is the distance that has been covered by a motorcycle used for delivery purposes by Carson, Piral and Scott, of Chicago. And the machine apparently is good for another 25,000 miles. Seven additional motorcyles have been purchased for use of the signal corps of the Second Division of the army station at Texas City. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Flaherty, of At lanta, Ga., are making a honeymoon motorcycle trip to the Pacific Coast. Volney Davis, holder of the ocean- ! to-ocean motorcycle record until Ba- ' ker's recent transcontinental run, is making a motorcycle trip from San Francisco to Texas. W. B. Haupt was recently graduated from the Agricultural College of Davis, Cal. Immediately after the gradua tion, Haupt mounted his motorcycle and sped over the 600 miles separat ing him from his home in Redlands.
