' 5..J-4 It is the only way to assure Delivery Note this Situation For the third time since January our allotment of Hudson Super Sixes has been reduced. We see with a continuation of the present active demand and the growing difficulties of getting cars that a de finite shortage will exist within a short time. That condition already obtains on certain Super-Six models. Pro duction of these types has absolutely stopped because all the cars of their class planned for this season have already been built. The fac tory can supply no more until a new allotment can be brought through, which will be sometime in the Fall. Why Hudsons Are in Such Demand The answer is clear to all who know automobile qualities. Men are choosing cars today they know they can rely upon. Such attractions as formerly have accounted for the popularity cf some cars no longer count for much, if the car has not also demonstrated its abil ity in performance and endurance. Inquire as to the types of cars people are now buying. You will find the active sale is of just two types those that arc very cheap as to price and from which no extraordinary service is expected and those that are of highest quality. Men are disposing of their old cars that had shown limitations of endurance and performance in order to get Super-Sixes. They know the importance during the times ahead of having a car upon which they can rely. They are not taking any chances with cars that may fail them just at the time when they need it most and when repairs and service will be harderst to get.
