day it will be a real grown-up road, just
like the main highways."
"Please use your Influence with tho

bulletin board at the club room. Colonel
Welsh seems to be an unreasonable man,
or else he has a grudge against automo

asked an eastern visitor. "Why," smiled
a native, "it's something like chewinff

Big Demand for New
Models of the Paige
Chicago's demand on the Pnlge-IVtrolt
Motor Csr comiwny for July deliveries
ot the ism edition of the Paige big six
totals 1X1 cars. That many buyers are now
clamoring in the office of the Chicago
distributor for Immediate delivery and
, there is every Indication that this eoll
j lug pace will be treatly Increased before
j the season Is much further advanced.
I "The Chicago situation Is only one In
cident In the selling rush that set In Im
mediately folowing our recent announce
ments." said Henry Krohn. sales man
ager of the Palge-Petrolt Motor Car com
pany. "We have been absolutely over
whelmed with orders, telegrams, tele
phone calls and visits from eager deal
ers. H Is the biggest demand, the keen
est and most insistent, In our history.
The orders are for both our seven ps
Fenger big six nnd our new model, the

ANNOUNCEMENT,
The? following prices f.o.b. Detroit, effective Aug. 2, 1915 :
Ford Runabout $390.00
Ford Touring Car 440.00
Ford Town Car . 640.00
No speedometer included in this year's
equipment, otherwise car fully equipped.
There can be no assurance given against an advance in these
prices at any time. We guarantee, however, that there
will be no reduction in these prices prior to Aug. 1, 1916.
Profit-Sharing with Retail Buyers
On August 1, 1914 we made the announcement that if we could
make and Bell at retail 300,000 Ford cart between August 1, 1914
and August 1, 1915 we would share profits with the retail pur.
chasers, to the extent of from $40 to $60 on each car. We have
sold over 300,000 Ford cars in the time specified, and profit-sharing
checks of $50 each will be distributed as rapidly as possible after
August 15, 1915. Retail purchasers who have not yet mailed us
their profit-sharing coupons, properly endorsed, should do so
without delay.
Our plan to profit-share with retail purchasers of Ford cars during
1914-15 has been most successful. We thoroughly believe in it,
but, realizing the uncertainty of conditions generally makes it
advisable to defer any announcement of future profit-sharing
until a later date.
We are, however, confident of our inability to reduce costs for
several months, and therefore can offer no profit-sharing for cars
'delivered during August. September and October, 1915.

Big Per Cent of All
Cars to Be Made Next
Year Are 4-Cylinder
"Notwithstanding the great hue and
cry which la being raised by the expo
nents of multiple cylinder cars, the fact
remains that S3 per cent of the auto
mobiles to be produced in 1116 will be of
the four-cylinder type," say a local
dealer. Of this large majority 75 per
cent will be of the L-head type that la
to say, aa opposed to the so-called con
trasting type.
The four-cylinder motor, for many
reasons, la Mill the taost efficient and
simple for all the practical purposes ot
motor propulsion. It is a fact well known
to engineers that the flexibility apparent
in cars with six, eight and twelve cylin
ders is not entirely due to the motor.
Inquiry will show that the gear ratios
play a very important role in the perfect
torqua obtained at slow speeds. A high
speed multiple cylinder engine in con
nection with low gear ratios is a com
bination that will cause the average mo
torist many anxious moments.
Every cylinder that is added must, of
necessity, increase tho weight of tho
car and add to the consumption of oil
and gasoline. Extra cylinders also add
to the complication of the motor and by
doing so shorten Its life. Kxperts in me
chunical construction will invariably
choose a simple design in preference to
a complicated one, for they know from
long experience that the greater the
number of parts the greater the ten
dency toward wear and short life.

See How Hudson Sixes Are Selling
It Breaks All Sales Records on Class Cars
The deluge of demand for this new-model HUD
SON has amazed every man concerned.
The Opening Days June 14th and 15th packed
every HUDSON showroom. In those two days men
paid for HUDSONS over $1,400,000.
During the first ten days 3480 cars were sold
There has never been anything known to compare
with it in the records of high-grade cars.
Records of 21 Months
- This new-type HUDSON, bear In mind, Is only
21 months old. Before that, men who bought high
grade Sixes paid $2250 up. And their cars weighed
up to 4500 pounds.
The first model of this new-type HUDSON sold
for $1750, and weighed under 3000 pounds. It cut
fuel and tire cost in two. Never once on that model
could we catch up with orders.
Next season we doubled production and brought
the price to $1550. That model last summer was
4000 cars oversold.
Now again we have doubled production, and
brought the price to $1350. And again the demand
exceeds output
Now Everybody's Choice
Now this new HUDSON, among high class
Sixes, is nearly everybody's choice. No real rival is
in sight And this type of car the Light Six type
dominates the quality field.
There was a time when many a car claimed to be
"much like the HUDSON." But the HUDSON
kept adding refinements Within 20 months it
brought out 51 distinct improvements. In the same
time it dropped $100 in price, because of the multi
plied output
Now no car is like HUDSON, and nobody think
so. There is not today. In the whole field of Sixes,
a comparable value, That's the reason for this
HUDSON flood.
Three More Innovations
This new model brings out three more big at
tractions: The Yacht -Line Body
Lustrous Finish
More Room and Luxury
One means the handsomest bodv lines ever
shown in a car. One means a finish Dri'tnt and
enduring. In the finish, exclusive to HLJSONS,
every coat is baked on in enormous ovens. The
equipment for it cost us $100,000.
The tonneau Is roomier, the rear seat Is wider.
There are two seats which disappear. The cushions
are deep and comfortable. The upholstery Is enam
eled leather. A leather-bound top-piece surrounds
the whole body.
These complete 51 refinements made since this
car came out And they place this new HUDSON
among the finest cars buift
Pick Your Car Now
The time Is surely coming, if this sale continues,
when men who want HUDSONS can't get them.
It has come again and again in the past 21 months.
And this season, in this class you will find no second
choice. You will find nothing to satisfy after seeing
this HUDSON. If you want early delivery on a
new car, now is the time to decide on it.
