The successful farmer co-operates
with his farm.
Knowing that certain soil
dements are necessary to heal
thy crop growth, he sees to it
that these elements are main
tained. The same principle holds
good in community development.
O'.tr community is composed
of two closely related elements

They are both essential to
heaiiiiy community growth. Ne

of them by the other affects

Accomplishing this is simply
a matter of sincere co-operation
among all of us in this com

play for community good in a
business way is
To sell only such implements
as have the quality to give high
fciade results in the Held.
T 'consider good performance
by our implements .is a part of
our obligation.
To sell every implement at
a lair price.
To practice the square deal
towards each ami every custo
mer. On ibis basis we invite the
co-operation of every farmer in
this community.

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.
