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.

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^

"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

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.
