TEN SUPER-SIXES IN HUDSON LINE principle of Super-Six Motor Now Firmly Established With Motorists Hudson's new models are always fcwaited with more or less expectan tey at the automobile shows. For several years now the Hudson has had the reputation of largely setting the mode. Something new could al ways be looked for from the home Of the Super-Six. This year the reputation has ap parently been maintained, and, while no radical changes have been made, there are several new, attrac tive body types, totally different from any ever built by this maker of au tomobiles. There are changes, too, end added refinements In every one lot the models. There are now ten models in the Hudson line, represented by L. H. Hagerling, of the Hudson Sales Aency —two open, the others of the enclosed type. Of the latter, the Runabout landeau.the touring llmou alne and the full folding landaeau fere new additions tb the line. Of these three, the touring limou sine perhaps stands out as the most fanique body type of the show. It both a limousine and a sedan, possessing all the advantages and conveniences of either type. It has ■l seating capacity for four. When the glass partition between the front and rear compartments is lowered it possesses all the Intimacy of a family car. When this is raised, however, it becomes a chauffeur • driven coach, a motor dictograph furnishing means of communication With the driver. There are touches here and there that suggest the craftmanship of the more expensive foreign-built coaches. The lines are almost severe in ' their squareness, but none the less attractive. The runabout landeau is a two passenger car that can be instantly transformed from a snug cabriolet into an open roadster. The full folding landeau is strictly a town car type, a suggestion of Fifth avenue the famous Super-Six chassis. The new Hudson limousine, the town car and the landaulets also fcave a squareness to the coach lines ANNOUNCEMENT —TO— GOOD BUSINESS MEN Ste&dort % ton $756 MOTOR TRUCKS 'P^fj In lending our endorsement to any motor car either passen ger or commercial we give to it the support of all that the Hud son Sales Agency name carries, naturally then we based our selection of the truck we would represent upon an investiga- Stewart 1 toil §1295 considered only the actual performance value of the fT^^ Names of manufacturers meant nothing to us if their present fr —It ' I product was not up to the standard we had determined should T^r\~J be the basis of our choice. .. . . .wjL - We believe it possible to find quality that was not alone determined by price. 7 hat we have chosen the Stewart is an indication of our con- iv.. ciz-as fidence in it.

The interiors are furnished In quiet colors, with richness and dignity combined. This year the open bodies —the seven-passenger and the four-pas songer phaetons—have been changed slightly. The body lines have been lowered, and there are a number of other marked refinements" in these Hudson models. Any company builds character into Its product very much as a man es tablishes character for himself. It is not what an actor does in one season which stamps him as a lead er, but what parts he has played over a series of successful seasons. So with arr automobile manufac tory—its product is Judged by the character of the average product It has turned out in the past. As a. result a personality for the company has been developed, Just as a per sonality is created for a man. One maker gains reputation for one thing about his car; another has a reputation, also good, but of an en tirely different character. Those who have followed the his tory of the Hudson Super-Six have had an opportunity to observe its development: how it has brought about the prestige that the car now holds. When the Super-Six was Intro duced It was with the statement of its being a Hudson patented motor which developed ninety per cent, more horsepower than other motors of similar size. Power and unusual engineering skill were Impressed upon the motorist. The very name Super-Six suggested that thought. The car being new, it was neces sary to describe its new principle with more or less detail. Salesmen had to explain how the greater pow er was obtained. But at the end of the year buyers were less interested in knowing about the motor and were more curi ous about its performance. The that the Super- Six was a mechanical failure were met by establishing new records of endurance. Thpse records were the proof that buyers wanted and ac cepted. This year every one accepts with out dispute or question the unquali fied statement that the Hudson is in every way a satisfactory car. A salesroom examination or a short demonstration falls as far short of suggesting the true worth of a Hudson Super-Six as Geraldine Farrar In the movies reveals Geral dine Farrar the singer. A Hudson Super-Skx described 'n specification cannot explain a Super- Six in the hands of 50,000 owners. Introduces Another Truck to This Territory W. J. MARKS Representative for the Atterbury Trucks. MILADY NOW SHREWD JUDGE Demands Power and Economy as Well as Refinement in Cars "Love me, love my car," is the latest slogan in the feminine realm and milady's energies and ambitions are more than ever before concen r trated on the adornment of her mo torcar. The Velie company has designed the control of Its new "Biltwel" six so that It is as easily operated as an electric. Furthermore, the abund ant power and strict economy of the Velie have in more than one in stance proved to be the deciding fac tor in making a selection. Lord Rhondda, food dictator of England, is head of the Peace River Development Company, in Canada, which has a Maxwell one-ton truck working In the far north country. The company, of which Lord Rhond da is the chief, expects to install a big fleet of motor trucks to carry supplies to th'e men at the base of operations. CADILLAC EIGHT . IN FOURTH YEAR Principle Introduced by This Company Further Refined and Developed .Two notable additions to the Cad illac line, represented by the Cris pen Motor Car Co., were given their first general exhibition at the re cent New York show. One is a new four-passenger car, which comes within the sport classification. The other is a new roadster design. The lines of both are exceedingly attractive, because of their dash and raciness, yet both cars retain the dignity and permanence of style which are characterlsUc of all the company's designs. These cars are tho successors of the roadster and the phaeton, with a 125-inch wheel base. The chassis is that of the other Models, with an eight-cylinder V type engine. Both cars are given a long, low appearance by reason of the ab sence of horizontal lines. The stream-line effect is accentuated by a nowly-designed cowl. This main tains the sloping line of the top of the hood, from the radiator to the windshield, without a break or a curve. The windshield on both is set at a slight angle, all moulding is eliminated from the hood panels, and the hood louvres are set very close together, there being twenty-five of them. A wide Grecian bow at the rear of the top of the two-passenger car gives a rounded effect and eliminates the rather sharp angle which 1* or dinarily seen in roadster tops hav ing bows of the common type. An other distinguishing touch is the use of beveled plate glass instead of celluloid in the rear curtain. This plate is twenty-seven inches long and almost eight inches wide. It is mounted in a concealed wood frame. The rear top curtain of the four passemjer car has the same arrange ment. The other standard models are: Seven-passenger car, four passenger convertible victoria, five passenger brougham, four-passen ger town limousine and town lan daulet, seven-passenger limousine, landaulet, and imperial. The company now enters upon its fourth year's production of eight cylinder cars, of which it has al ready built 49,000. The original characteristics of the Cadillac Eight are retained, but they have been refined and advanced in detail, the result of greater knowl edteq and broader experience. It haiMong been the policy of the Cad illac company to adopt a principle or a type only after the most ex haustive experimentation has proven to Cadillac engineers that the prin ciple is correct and worthy of adop tion. Thereafter it is developed year by year to the highest possible point of efficiency. The new model is known as Type 57. It comprises ten body styles, and the Cadillac company believes that in these it has summed up mo toring preferences so far as this is possible with a standard line. The body types are seven-passenger tour ing; four-passeger sport type; roadster; town limousine; town lan daulet; Brougham, completely en closed and practically a convertible car; convertible victoria; limousine; imperial limousine, and landaulet. From the mechanical standpoint perhaps the most important change Is the use of detachable cylinder heads. These are secured to the cylinder blocks by twenty nuts each, and are fnade gas and watertight by special copper-asbestos gaskets. The detachable heads make for greater accuracy in manufacture without sacrificing the compactness, lightness and rigidity of the former construction. They permit easy access to valves and pistons without re moving the cylinder blocks, and greatly facilitate the removal of car bon deposits. A feature of the new cars which it is felt will be particularly appreci ated is the device for tilting the headlight reflectors. This device eliminates glare from the eyes of oncoming motorists by lowering the ! direction of light. It is operated by the driver by means of a small lever attached to the steering post. Whereas ordinary devices dim the 1 light, the Cadillac innovation com plies with the law by eliminating the glare; yet utilizes all the light and directs it down on the road, where it is most needed when meet ing other vehicles. An automatic raising device for the top is now incorporated on all the open-body models of Type 57 series. Powerful springs, located in the main bow sockets, take the load after the folded top has been lifted a few inches, and automatically open the top to its full extent. Top ma terial on all open cars is black Pan tasote, with the side quarters 'lined, covering the extension bow sockets and Joints. The windshield Is set at an angle of six degrees. Cold weather efficiency is Increas ed by the provision of shutters in side the louvres of the hood, which are slanted' at a six-degree angle, to conform to the line of the wind shield. Closing the shutters in win ter shuts off the circulation through the louvres and retains more of the motor's heat under the hood. An angle pieco is provided whereby the space between the hood and the hood shelf can be closed in winter, still further restricting the sweep of told air over the motor. The transmission of the now car Is of the selective sliding gear type, as formerly, but of refined design, making it smaller, more compact and lighter. Gears are shifted with even greater ease, if that is possible. Changes which are apparent in exterior design Include a raising of the radiator and hood. The latter Is also two Inches longer, without encroaching on body space. A now cowl design harmonizes with the higher radiator. Belt line moulding appears on all open bodies, with nar rower moulding on doors, hood and fenders. Doors are of the advanced square design, being practically square-cornered. Cadillac blue, which was used on Type 55 open cars, in standard finish on the new cpen cars, while Calumet yreen with tlack trimmings Is standard'on the enclosed cars. There Is more leg room In the driving compartment, and the toe board set at a different angle for greater comfort. Upholstery Is hand-buffed, long-grain black leath er, technically known as a "dull, semiwater" finish. More than 200 individual springs are used in each cu*hkn, and provide the very ex treme of seating comfort. Seat cushions in the touring car are slightly lower, giving the effect of higher seat backs and greater com fort to all occupants of the car. Extra Inner Tubes An extra inner tube should always be carried ready to Insert In case of a puncture. Take out the old tube and put In the extra, then have the damaged one vulcanized, jt does not pay to cement a patch on a tube—have It vulcanized. The best plan is to have a demountable type rim and carry a complete ex tra tire. Inflated and ready to motlnt on the wheel. CHANDLER LINE EXCELLENT ONE Since First Car Was Built Five Years Ago, Rapid Progress Made 'The Chandler Six of to-day is the result of the constant evolution of that first Chandler of five years ago ■t—refinement and mechanical devel opment without radical change or questionable experimentation at any time. The Chandler Six to-day, with its several body types expressing the latest Ideas in body design, with its 123-inch wheelbase and Its marvel ous motor and Its splendid chassis, is a car which you may well be proud to own. Chandler popularity has rested In a large part particularly among ex perienced motorists, not so much upon the beauty of its body designs perhaps, not even so much on its economy of operation as upon the remarkable performance of its mo tor. The Chandler motor, developed to a high state of perfection through four years of constant refinement, Is the product of Chandler designers and officials who for many years previous to the establishment of the Chandler company had devoted themselves to the design and manu facture of high-grade, high-priced six-cylinder cars. t "Convertible sedans and coupes are proving more popular every day in this section," said Andrew Red mond, local Chandler distributor. "It is surprising the number of or ders we have received for the sedans this winter, and the majority of the orders came before the real cold spell that we had around Christmas time, showing that they are the pop ular all-year car. "The Chandler Six Convertible Se dan, 'Which seats seven passengers, spells utility and serviceability as an all-year car at a glance, and right fully deserves the popularity It now commands. "In a few minutes this Chandler Convertible Sedan is transformed from a luxurious winter model Into an ideal summer car, fully as open as a touring car with the top up. "The unique construction of the front and rear windows permits easy removal from their positions and storage in a specially designed com partment under the rear seat. The door windows lower away into in geniously designed envelopes, where they are securely carried, and they are adjustable for ventilation. "The two front ats are arranged Pullman-chair fashion, with a gen erously wide aisle between them connecting the driving compart ment and the tonneau. The two auxiliary seats, when not in use, fold away compactly Into the backs of the front seats. The wide cushions are all deep and pillowy and tilted to the proper comfort angle. ' "Our Chandler car landaulet and Chandler Six town car are also in demand. It Is our absolute convic tion that the purchaser of an In closed car wants style inside and outside. There is no such thing as a broad middle road in the building of a strictly high-grade Unclosed car. An inclosed car demands a fine body. "The prime requisites for a well built inclosed car are graceful de sign, reflecting taste and individual ity; comfort, beauty and complete ness inside; the highest quality of materials and workmanship through out that is beyond criticism. "These qualities are comparatively easy to list. They are hard to ful fill. They exact a scrupulous fidelity to quality that Imposes a deep obli gation on the manufacturer. Put when they are fulfilled they mean a motor car that is a source of con tinuous pleasure during the entire period of ownership. "There has never been a time when the demand for Chandler in closed cars has not exceeded the sup ply. • _ "Because this season s cars are much liner even than those which have preceded them it is not strange that a still more urgent deifland has arisen, and we are doing our utmost to keep pace with this demand. "The Chandler limousine has that handsome, well-groomed appearance that stimulates pride of ownership. It has everything that an exception ally fine limousine should have. All of the niceties of finish, all those smart touches of stylo and elegance that characterize the most expen sive custom-built closed cars are em phasized in this Chandler model. "Strength and lightness, quality and style are easily apparent. Grace of Jine is disclosed at a glance. There is nothing finer, and yet be cause lightness of weight is a prime feature of Chandler cars, this seven passenger limousine will be found exceedingly economical from the standpoint of operating cost. The cloth upholstery and the mahogany trim are of highest quality, although an owner can have his choice of sev eral styles of interior trimming. We do not know of any way in which the Chandler limousine could be made finer." The regular Chandler chassis is re tained on all the 1918 models, ex cept that for the sport model, thir ty-two-inch wheels are used and a gear ratio of 3.78 Is employed. The sport model Is the very latest thing in the Chandler line and was greatly admired at the New York and Phil adelphia shows, Takes Three States Under His Wing For Dort Sales ' f|^H jJ/BM ■£--* i . uJPfj E.

NEW BODY TYPES IN 1918 OAKLAND Improvements Only Those of Refinements, Says Andrew Redmond "Oakland's new six, called the 34-B, kill be seen in five new body designs and with changes and Im provements in the reciprocating parts which are lighter, the mani folds, engine lubrication, cooling fan, etc. The changes in the transmis sion units are simply in the nature of minor refinements, so that the clutch gearset, drive and rear axle are basically as before. The wheel base remains the same at 112 inches, and the engine size at 2 13-16 by 4%." . This statement was madtt by Andrew Redmond, local distributor for Oaklands. "The engine Is an overhead v/ilve six with detachable hand and upper crankcase half integral, with the cyl inders. The connecting rods are lighter than before, the pistons are of aluminum and the inlet manifold now has a cast Jacket built around the central branch. "The jacket is connected with the exhaust manifold from which ex haust gas passes through a U-shap- i ed connection into the jacket that surrounds the Marvel carburetor, and ; around the low-speed Jet. This sys tem of haat distribution gives bet- 1 ter carburetor and volumetric effi- i ciency. The exhaust manifold now I allows of freer discharge of the gas. I "The lubrication has been chang-1 ed. A gear pump forces ' the oil through the main bearings thence through the drilled crankshaft to the connnecting rod bearings where it is thrown off, lubricating the pis tons, camshaft, tappets and distrib utor shaft. All the oil distributing pipes of this forced feed system are inside of the engine. "The fan is of the new biplane type and is in unit with a newly de signed water circulating pump, which Is driven from the camshaft by this page. "The design is such that there is no slippage and when slack occurs there is provision for taking it up. "Starting, lighting and ignition are by Remy units, which are all on the right. The clutch is a Northway cone In unit with a three-speed way cone in unit with a three-speed gearset cone in unit with two-joint shaft to a one-bearing floating axle." KEEP ENGINE WARM Fuel Can Be Savwl By Heating Motor A warm engine takes less fuel than a cold one. This should be self evi dent because the amount of heat absorbed by the water jackets de pends directly on the difference in temperature between them and the combustion chamber. Hence, the necessity for having some means of reducing the effectiveness of , the cooling system in cold weather. It may be sufficient to remove the fan belt, or to partially cover the radi ator, but the most desirable solu tion is to install an adjustable shut ter, the opening of the slats being regulated as required to keep the cooling water at its most efficient temperature. Hence a radiator thermometer Is also necessary.— Motor Life. ' ADDED to the very un usual bodily comtfort of the new Hupmobile is the comfort of low cost of opera tion and low cost of main tenance.
