Every Extra Pound
Is a Crudity
The HUDSON Six-40 is the lightest /-passenger
Six ever built. Most of its newer rivals weight 400
to <3OO pounds more.
That is one evidence of HUDSON refinement. Tt
is one result of our four-year evolution. It is one of
the benefits from J toward K. Coffin's designing.
No man can say, "It's too light."
Over 10.000 of these cars have proved themselves
under every road condition. Half <>t them have run
for two seasons. They have covered, all told, at
least 25 million miles. And those 10,000 owners,
near and tar, will say that this car is right.
Heavier cars of like capacity are cruder in some
way. They may use less aluminum, less pressed
steel. The difference may lie in the motor type. It
may lie in less skillful designing.
The HUDSON Six-40 weighs 2800 pounds, ready
for the road. A car of this type which weighs more
is not of equal class.
The HUDSON shows the Light Six as it will he
All excess weight, which adds to fuel cost and tire
cost, must he eliminated to meet the demands of the
times.
And the HUDSON shows how the Light Six
will look after the years of refinement which the
HUDSON has had. This finish, this beauty, this
•perfect detail will he Light Six requirements.
This proved-out car offers many attractions to men
who don't wish to take risks. And its very appear
ance will show its leadership. '
There goes with it HUDSON service, which is
less copied than the car. You will be surprised when
we explain to you what this service covers.
We invite investigators.

Saxon Company Methods
That Insure Accuracy
The Saxon Motor Company has just |
instituted a plan that provides a dou-j
hie check in assuring quality of mate
rials and high grade of workmanship
in Saxon motor cars.
lu addition to a perfected scheme of
inspection at the Saxon factory in L>c-1
troit, this concern has gone a step |
farther than is customary among an-'
tomobile makers. By the new plan, j
expert inspectors will he assigned to
the different plants where the parts'
anil materials for use in Saxon cars are:
produced. It is the duty of each in- I
spector to sec that such parts and ma-:
terials exactly measure up to the spe-I
(■ideations called for !>y the Saxon en-'
gineers.
This advanced and progressive plan ;
has been put into effect by the Saxon :
Company at a considerable expense,
but it is declared to more than pay
for itself in eliminating the chance for
error in construction and preventing
any inferior materials from getting
by.
•'.lust as double entry bookkeeping is
considered 'better than the old single
entry style, so double checking in the
building of automobiles has every ad-,
vantage over a single checking sys- 1
loin," says C. C. Cross, the Saxon lac-I
tory manager, in telling of this revolu- |
tionary plan.
"If a mechanical part or a piece of
material is Inspected in its eurl>
stages, and then again before it finds
a place in the finished product, a qual
ity motor car is the assured result.
"The inspection of our cars will not
he confined to an Inspection before
the cars are shipped, but under the
direction of the chief inspector, who is
one of the most expert experimental
engineers in the country, a number of
deputies will be placed in the various,
plants where the company buys parts.)
All parts will be inspected before ship-1
mcnt to the Saxon factory. This'
method is a guarantee, to our custo- i
tners that our product is right."

MITCIIKMi SCHOOIJ FOR MTOISTS |
A novel and well received educa- j
■ tional school for auto dealers and en-!
thusiasts was held during the Omaha!
Auto Show by the Mitchell Motor:
Company, of Omaha.
Their large garage was turned into l
a lecture room with blackboards
mounted on the walls and all dealers |
and auto owners extended invitations'
to the lectures, which were held each I
morning of the show from » to 12,
o'clock.
The representatives of the various;
electric starting device manufacturers'
were invited to speak to the visitors. |
display their starters, and explain the!
principle and construction by use ofj
the blackboard.
The interest was manifest. The!
garage was crowded every morning by
Mitchell and other dealers. Owners;
were as numerous as dealers and the!
result was that practically every one}
attending left with a better knowl-:
edge of the electric equipment on aj
modern automobile than could ever be
gained from a mass of literature.
The attendance and the interest of!
every visitor tends to further cmpha-j
size the necessity for educational work |
of this kind among the dealers who'
have the owner's interest at heart.;
and the owner who really wants to<
I understand and take intelligent care!
of the car he owns.

International Models Show
Simple Heavy Duty Motor
| The new Models "K" and "M"
i shown at the motor truck department I
| represent the most advanced type in |
motor trucks for quick delivery, and j
j incorporate features thftt protect the !
purchasers against possible delays.
I The International lias a very sini-1
pie, powerful and compact heavy-duty 1
! motor, and upon this depends the eftt- |
Iciency of the complete machine. The 1
j International Motor Trucks are made
tin capacities of 1,000, 1,500 and 2,0001
{pounds.
It is a well founded fact that the j
! firms delivering heavy loads were the j
I first tn adopt motor trucks, because
] the savings was so enormously |
lin favor of motor trucks. We have j
I reached the period when the light and |
! medium capacity unit truck is being
■ more fully appreciated. The most
!reliable authorities agree that about
.eighty per cent, of the motor truck
{demand is for the small unit trucks
■ as now being specialized by the Inter
national .Motor Truck Depart ment.
! The large unit trucks are an o.ngin
jeering proposition and shotild be
I loaded to their capacity 'both ways on
II their trips on account of their dead
weight. With the smaller units tlie
1J first cost is less and the upkeep e\-
•pense lower. Several smaller units in
place of the large one are now being
•(generally adopted, and kept in con
-jstant service.
The ratio of the load to the truck
f should be maintained as nearly as pos
sible at all times, and tlie solution is
jjgreatly in favor of the small unit
- truck because they increase this ratio,
which means greater profit to the
t owner of the several small unit trucks.

■ modeis at 6lit Walnut street.

Henry Kennady, formerly a citizen j
of Owensburg. K>\, an«l later manage! j
of the Studcbaker branch at Oklahoma
City, recently had a rabbit hunting: ex
perience in Australia, which, strange j
as it may scc-m, tested the efficiency
of the Studebaker starter. Kennady,
who is now managing director of the
Studehaker distributing house at Syd
ney, started out with four companions
to hunt rabbits, using a Studebakor
Six.
In attempting to lord a hollow dur
ing a rain, the carburetor became sub
mersed in water which was going
through so swiftly that none of the
occupants dared set out of the car.
The water kept rising inch by inch
until the party feared they would be
washed away. During a lull in the
storm. Kennedy put the car into low
gear, throw 011 the self-starter and
was able to pull out of the deep hole.
The carburetor was then drained :ind
the engine immediately fired evenly,
taking the party back to Sydney with
out further mishap.
