12 NEWS OF INTEREST TO AUTO OWNER AND PROSPECTIVE BUYER HUPMOBILE WILL CONTINUE SERIES Yearly Model Not Favored and Series M N" Has Met With Exceptional Success "While automobile manufacturers have been busily engaged in getting enough material to produce cars to meet the demand, one of the most im portant changes which has taken place in the Industry has been pass ed by almost unnotioed," says Lee An derson, commercial manager of the Hupp Motor Car corporation. "This change is the passing of the yearly model which has been so confusing iu the past. "Year after year there have been at tempts at meetings of the National As sociation to eliminate this alleged yearly model. These efforts always failed. Last January, however, sev eral of the larger companies follow ing the lead of the Hupp corporation decldede to abandon this bad practice of the yearly type such as the 19IK, 1917 and 1918 and to designate the cars in model series. For instance, we stated then that the existing car would be known as the Series "X" Hupmobile. This policy has proved so practical that nearly every other company has adopted a similar plan and probably none of the larger con cerns will announce a 1917 model. "For instance, at this time last year newspapers were flooded with various announcements by motor car concerns of 1&16 Models. This season there has jbeen no announcement of this character and few, if any, are in con templation. "President Drake of the Hupp cor poration announced our policy at the New York show, stating that the old plan was unfair to those who had al ready purchased cars; was confusing to the automobile buying public and unfair to the owner, dealer and man ufacturer alike. "We could see no reason why a few minor changes made to justify the announcement of a new yearly model, say a 1918 car, should be allowed through the mere change of model 11 Prompt Delivery R ig!

Xo more could we understand why a manufacturer should hold up im provements six months to a year, de priving the public of their benefit, Just so he might announce, a new annual model later. Nor oould we justify a policy which made a dealer sell his customers one car today and an im proved car tomorrow. These faults appeared to us as radical defects in automobile merchandising. "By our new plan automobile com panies can make change of refinement and add any new inventions which may be found practical by their en-' gineers without bringing out an en tirely new car, which in this day of I motor car making is unnecessary. The Hupp corporation will continue to build the Series "N" which is a four cylinder car, at a medium price. In producing this series, Hupp engineers have devoted their time and skill to j improvements of the four cylinder type car, rather than trying innovations in strange mechanical iields. "That our policy is right in contin uing the four cylinder when some con cerns were running wild on the mul tiple-cylinder craze, is proved by our wonderful business during the present selling season. We have already pro duced and sold 57 per cent more cars' In eleven months of our fiscal year J than we did in twelve preceding months and there has not been a time during the whole season when we were j able to produce cars enough to fulfill I the demand for the four cylinder Hup- i mobile."
