INCH OF Will RELATING TO IIITOS Hudson Export Manager Estimates 150,000 Automobiles in Use For War Purposes Only After an absence of fourteen months In Europe with headquarters at Paris, John A. Olt, export manager of the Hudson Motor Car Company, has just returned to Detroit. The Hudson Company's branch In Paris has beeD the headquarters for their business covering the United Kingdom, Continental Europe and North Africa. While -the Hudson com pany had established connections in nearly all of the European countries, because of the war conditions and falling oft In all trade, the Paris of fice was closed recently and headquar ters transferred to London. The garage connected with this Paris office was located in what Is known as the military zone—a strip about 200 meters (225 yards) wide on the outside of the old Paris forti fications. Under the terms of all leases covering property in this mili tary zone, there was always the pos sibility of this garage being razed for military purposes in the event of a siege of Paris. At the time Mr. Olt left Paris, the Germans were about twenty-two miles from that city and had been going forward rapidly. Therefore, It was ad visable to vacate the premises and store the company's property in a safer place. Incident to the war conditions and their effect on automobiles, it is in teresting to learn that from the date that mobilization was ordered, a car could not circulate in or near Paris or any other of the entrenched camps without a special military permit. Of course, the passengers of the car were also required to show on demand a Bpecial pass, showing their nationality, etc. As an Illustration, Mr. Olt states In making a short trip of about 150 miles from Houlgate on the coast of Normandy to Paris, the sentries stop ped the car and called for the car and personal military papers from fifteen to forty times on different trips during the latter part of August and early September. Several Hudson cars are now at the front on both sides of the battle line. Notable among these is a car taken by Captain Rawlinson, of Lon don who is serving on the staff of General French. Other Hudsons are in use with the French, Austrian and German armies. According to a well known automobile authority in France, there are estimated to be 150,- 000 automobiles of all kinds in use, either actually at the front or exclu sively in military service. A great many of these cars are being de stroyed in the actual fighting but oth ers are being sacrificed just as rapidly through neglect and the consequent abandonment on the roadsides. It is not difficult to realize that if a car is being pursued by an enemy and some thing goes wrong with the car, little time is to be had in which to make neecssary repairs. To prevent a car falling into the hands of the pursuing enemy, such cars are usually run into a ditch or otherwise so badly damaged that they are practically worthless. The actual part played by motor transport in the present European war will probably not be known until after the war is over, but it is a certainty that the speed of many of the actions is due to the quick moving of patrols of soldiers, machine guns, etc., by means of automobiles. Besides the actual destruction of motor transport, there has been a tre mendous loss of horses and wrecking of railroad tracks. Threfore, through the entire war zone, the means of transportation are already badly crip pled; and with the withdrawal of spe cial military transports, the means of transport remaining will be very lim ited for months after the war is over. Automobiles should therefore play an extremely important part in the re vival of commerce and the transporta tion of passengers as well as goods. The effect of this on the develop ment of trade in American cars is dif ficult to estimate or in any way fore see. It is reasonable to suppose, how ever, that there must be a period of reconstruction and reorganization of the factories in the manufacturing countries of Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium and Austria. Prob ably the greater part of this recon struction is a matter of personnel, but it Is also quite possible that a num ber of factories have already been de stroyed. Then again, the stocks of finished cars, both in factories and in the sales rooms of these Invaded coun tries, as well as in the United King dom, have been about depleted, as even at the present time in England there is considerable activity in some of the automobile factories in trying to fill government orders. None of the various Colonial pos sessions had more than normal stocks of cars, excepting, possibly some of the South American countries. While the general trade of the various Co lonial and distant countries has been seriously impaired by the European war, yet there is a certain amount of liquidation that will be going on in the automobile business outside of Europe, and within a comparatively short time, this liquidation should clear ftny accumulated stocks of Euro pean cars. The opportunity that will be pre sented for American cars in Colonial possessions, is not so much one of im mediate large sales, but rather an opportunity for the manufacturers of the United States to lay a proper foundation and get a fair considera tion for their goods in the non-manu facturing countries. Probably the one greatest handicap to the more rapid development of the export trade in American cars, has been that they have not had a chance to be properly demonstrated. Naturally, the compe tition of European manufacturers has been severe, and usually along the lines of placing the American car In a class considerably below the average of the European car. Considerable capital has been made out of such ar guments by distributors of nothing but European cars._ It Is no more' possible for an Amer ican manufacturer of motor cars to go out and pick up foreign trade when he is ready for it, than it has been pos sible for any of the other large Amer ican companies who have developed a good export business, to pick up that business quickly. The development of the export trade in raw materials, such as wheat, cotton, etc., does not require the technical training for selling, edu cation of customers, etc., that is re quired to develop special machinery, automobiles, etc. The selling of a good part of the output of machinery manufacturers haa become a real necessity with large American manufacturers. In some In dividual cases, export business Is still treated as secondary and to be handled as a filler when domestic busi ness becomes a little slack; but the far-sighted manufacturer does not wait to be forced to go after export trade, but sets out to spend his two or three or five years to get a repu tation for his product so that his ex pott trade will become a real asset to 1 him. A certain number of the large manufacturers of special machinery I have, through a period of develop Harrisburg, Pa., Oct. 24, 1914. Mr. Prospective Buyer: Dear Sir:— Please hear in mind that the HUDSON people build a larger edition of the HUD SON Six-40. It is the HUDSON Six-54. This is the big, impressive type, with 135-inch wheelbase. In size and power and room this is like the Sixes which have cost from $3,25Q to $6,000. The HUDSON Six-54 costs $2,350, f. o. b. Detroit. We clairii that this car offers all that any price can buy. It is designed by Howard E. Coffin —America's leading designer. This is the third year model. In its first season the HUDSON Six-54 became the largest selling Six in the world. And its sister car to-day—the HUDSON Six-40—is the largest selling car of any class with a price above $1,200. It is this output, combined with HUDSON efficiency, which has brought down the price of high-grade Sixes in these late HUDSON models. If you want a big car—a powerful car—we urge your inspection of this HUD SON Six-54. See for yourself if there exists any reason for paying more for any car. There is no greater designer than Howard E. Coffin. Higher standards in a car are impossible. And you will find in no make a finer example of a luxurious and dis tinguished car. Made as a Touring Car, a Sedan and a Limousine. Yours very truly, I. W. DILL Hudson/ ast Mulberry Street Bridge \MOTOR/7 ment, now reached a stage where from 3 Oto 50 per cent, of their trade is ex port; but they did not reach that point of a sudden, nor by means of selling only a surplus output. Mr. Olt has just received a post card from a certain dealer in Alsace Lorraine asking whether the Hudson company is taking the precaution to have a stock of cars on hand in Eu rope to meet the situation that will be created when peace is declared. That is only an evidence of the possi bilities for future business. Of course, the Hudson car has, through a sys tematic plan of organization, become established in Europe; and it is be cause of the building up of Ihe repu tation there similar to that which the company has in America, that such an inquiry Is received, even in the stress of war times when there does not seem to be any Immediate pros pect of peace. Mr. Olt expressed himself as being delighted to have returned to the United States, as during the last few days he was in Paris, it was a daily occurrence to come out and look for the German aeroplanes which were dropping bombs on the city. Paris at that time was an entirely different ap pearing city from what the tourist is familiar with. At 8 every evening all of the sidewalk cafes were closed and the tables and chairs cleared. Restau rants were only allowed to be open until 9:30. With the exception of one or two cinema-theaters operated on behalf of the Red Cross, no places of amusement were open. A limited number of hotels were still open but to a great extent their patronage was made up of Americans who were working their way homeward by way of Paris. It was predicted that by September 15 there would be very few hotels in Paris that could even afford to keep open, even if they had suf ficient staff to operate them. The city gates around Paris were closed at night against all vehicular traffic ex cepting market cars or military cars. Daily papers were allowed to have only one edition during each twenty four hours and the newsboys were not allowed to call out special news or anything connected with their pa pers, and no paper was allowed to have head lines more than two col umns wide. These conditions have probably been maintained in Paris throughout the month of September. Paige Axle a Strong Factor in Sale of Car It is a curious fact that an axle that has never been used, in fact, has never been built into a motor car, should prove to be a grejvt advertisement of the cars for which it is built. This is] a fact, however, and the story is told by C. W. Payne, Paige distributor at Des Moines, lowa. "There's a rear axle tucked away in my stockroom that Is one of the best salesmen I have," said Mr. Payne. "It has closed more sales of Paige cars and has captured the 'goats' of more competitors than anything I know of, and it is just a common, every-day Paige axle —but it has a history. "Several years ago When I secured the distribution of Paige cars I bought a supply of parts from the factory, among which was this new rear axle. Since handling the Paige line I have sold nearly 1,000 cars In my territory, but this original axle is still decorating my stockroom, there never having been an axle replacement In any of the cars I have sold or in the dars that were placed in this section before I took over the Paige line, some of which are now at least four years old." Whenever a prospective purchaser starts an argument on rear axle con struction Mr. Payne leads him gently but firmly into his stockroom and points out to him this axle, giving its history, and has yet to lose a sale to anyone who views this exhibit and appreciates the worth of a dependable rear axle. Cadillac Eight Center of Attraction in Large Cities Remarkable occurrences are being reported from the cities which are re ceiving their first allotment of the new eight-cylinder Cadillac cars. These reports agree in one conclu sion, to wit, that never since the ad vent of the first motor car has there been such an outpouring of people to Inspect an automobile, i In Cleveland more than a thousand inquirers visited the Cadillac show rooms the day the car arrived. Every succeeding day has witnessed an at tendance and an intensity of interest unprecedented in that city. Chicagoans turned out in such num bers that traffic was demoralized in the vicinity of the Cadillac Showrooms and bluecoats finally found it neces sary to take charge of the crowds in front of the doors. In New York similar scenes were . Electric Light & Starter $45.00 FORD $45.00! !
