It's Hard to Select
Average Man's Car
Tb "avarags maw I a great deal Ilk
"rumor say." Owe never meets him.
aad yet kla Influence Is fait everywhere.
Not long ago a man wanted to get an
"average mas a car." me than the
dealer has ha trying ta find out just
what features should ba combined la tb
Ideal oar of the avaraga man.
"It seems to me." sss a Chalmers ef
tidal, "that Us avaraga man requires,
first, service at a medium price. Tb
avaraga man cannot afford to pay ex.
orbltantry for service, because, t him,
a motor car hi mora a necessity than a
luxury, lie buy It iscaass he baa in
for a aar, aad It Is tb last thing be does
buy. In he does not spend ths money
until ss absolutely needs ta hav a motor
oar.
"But whether he happens ta be using ths
oar In his business er purely for pleas
ure, be dsslres comfort aad beauty of
Una aad flnlah. .which will enable Mm to
Wold! up bis brad among owners ot high
priced cars.
"Tba average man Lake ear ef his ear
hunsslf. lis want, therefore, a oar
which I a nearly treukle-proof aa It
can ba mad, lie wants, tee, a ear with
easy adjustments and readily accessible
parts,
"But. parhapa, more thaa anything else,
he went an economical car on which Is
so designed and built that there will be
no'expeass for replacements; one which
may be maintained at a low coat of up
keep, for the average man buys hi car
to us for several seasons." H does not
wspt, and k cannot afford a new car
every yesr. and ha naturally turns to
real car which ha the highest reputa
tion tor service, eewuoeny ahd endurance."
Luxury for Drivers
. arid Passengers is
Feature of New Oars
"The most striking feature of the new
models seen at the automobU show Is
luxury." said If. K. Predrtckson. --
"I have seen most of the new ears snd
I believe that never before bav manu
facturers given so much attention to ths
matter of luxury for driver and psssen
fere. . ,
"By luxury I do not mean extravagant
fittings, but rather a general refinement
of tba whole car which gives that luxury
that la synonymous wtlh efficiency. A
careful study of ths new type ot stand
ard cars will prove my point - -
Take the Instance; of the self-starter.
This la a feature of luxury which has
been perfected for this season. In one
senes of Ihw world It Is purely a luxury,
beca uee tha driver has only to get Into
his seal, press button snd away goes
his motor, In the case of compressed air
self-atartsra there I also tb kdded lux
ury at power lire Inflater, which Is a
part of tb tarter mechanism.
"Vet three twj features certainly I ut
eres as ths efficiency ef any car which
ha them. The tlm and effort saved by
tha self-Itarter and by tb power tire
inflater add Immeasurably to tha pleas
ure of motoring.
"Teu will also find that most of ths
standard ears are now equipped with ds
sieentabl rims. In Ihla way the manu
facturer reduces to the minimum the an
aoyanc ot tlra trouble.
"Tb two original Inconvenience ot
motoring which bav survived all attacks
by designers and manufacturers up to ths
Dresent season are cranking and tlrs
trouble. Tba year 1111 marks the great
est advance In the last five year through
the development ot thoroughly reliable
sslt-startsr and tha general equipment of
the new cars wltk demountable rlma."
Expert Says Auto
Show is the Best
. 'of the Long List
"Ths Omaha Automobile show is some
how," raid Fred Jf. Coatee, vie presi
dent ot the Lexington Motor Car com
pany, who la assisting In demonstrating
ths Lexington car at ths show. ' have
attended r.rarTy every rhow In the country
thla year and none haw--1 found
largely attended, by deslers and pros
pective buyers and so well managed and
atlrativ. Then ire mora sales of ears
mads her In one day, I believe, than
there were made during the whole (how
in tlie other cities.
"Oreat credit should ba given to the
dealers for this wonderful exhibition. A!
though tha cars ahown en the floor do
not have lavender bodies with green
Pokes as did many at tha Chicago and
New York shows, you can bank that they
are of the best and Just whst ths people
In this section of the territory need.
"One ot tha astounding features of the
show Is th great enthusiasm shown by
People attending. Never before have I
seen so many peopl In this section of ths
country so greatly Interested In motor
car. - ; . -
"It used to be that a good talkative
sal en man with a large vocabulary could
get up on th floor and sell a ear to a
buyer, even though th car was a lemon.
Things bav changed. I find at this
show that what th peopl want la a
good, reliable car that they know will
land th wear and tsar. Ton can't sell
them a car by telling them th spark
plug la attached to ths rear axle. They
want tacts about the car and a car that
has mads a record la tha automobile
world for durability and can be relied
upon. And they ara finding these good
feature In th Lexington car."

Don't buy an automobile that has been forced out-of-date by the advances of enginr)ering prog.

Cars not strictly up-to-the-minut in design and equipment lose value more rapidly because
of that fact than from any other cause. " . ' '
At the Automobile Show the one notable exception to the average car, in the matter of sia-
plicity, for instance, is Howard E. Coffin's latest automobile the -
New Self-Starting HUDSON "33V
a v.. ., .jvanced feature that tou will find them
in combination on no other automobiles.
It has approximately 1000 fewer parts than nas in
averse car.
It! is a quiet automobile. Every moving; part ta
thoroughly dust proof. . .
It has s Self-Starter that in thousands or teats proved
to be (S efficient and which for simplicity and ef
ficiency is typical of the rest ot th car.
It weighs but 4H pounds snd has but 13 psrts.
There is nothing complicated. . There is no great
weight to tax the motor s power, to weight the tire
and to Invite th never failing troubles that sre found
In practically all other starters.
There are no check valves to leak.
Ton won't find as simple a car anywhere as is the
HX'DSON" "35." All parts ar instantly accessible.
When attention is required by any part of the carrit
can b given without delay, extra cost or Inconvenience.
Every detail ot equipment is complete.
Easy riding springs, soft 'cushions, high grsd up
holstering and lines which make the ear as graceful
as a yacht. ' ' -'
All Mr. Coffin's esrlier cars there have been five
and all famous too have served ss models for other
makes.
If yon sre thinking of some other ear, the chances
ar it is modeled after one ot Mr. Coffin's earlier de
signs. His cars have always Set th pace. That is why
you run great risk in buying any other automobile
today. '
