Texas Man Makes
Long Tour Through
Rockies in Kissel
Oakland Factory
Promises to Furnish
Omaha with Cars
Thomne It. Van Auken of Beaumont,
Tex., enjoys the distinction of having
iniide a more complete trip of the Colo
rado mountain posses than any automo
bile tourist of the year, according to the
official publication of the Denver Motor
club.
Mr. Van Auken bus returned l his
home After covering 6,544 miles lit Ills
' Kissel kar and has broufrht back an In
teresting narrative of adventures, lie
says:
'"We took lit Kstes Fark, Glenwood
Springs, Canon City, l:te pass. Royal
gorge. Sky Line drive. Trough road. Ten
,nesnee pass, Bcrthard pass. Monarch
pass. Battle Mountain, and. In fact, every
high pass and scenlo road In the Rockies
of Colorado.
"From Denver we went south to Colo
rado Pprlnps, staying thirty days there,
and thence to Raton, N. M., Las Vegas,
Santa Ft, Clovls and Santa Rose,
through to Aaiarlllo, Tex., Dallas, Waco,
I lirynn, Houston and home.
I "The longest day's run that we made
I was from Amarlllo to New Mexico, when
we were going out. The hardert day's
! run was from Kuclno, N. M., to Clovls,
across the distant valley. A car should
never try to make that valley trip, but
rather go buck by the way of Raton.
We were helped over one washout In
Ponky'a ranch (110.000 acn). This was
the only time wo had outside help at any
time, although we had the mild satlufac
tlon of pulling eight cars out of bad
places, one of them twice."
Oldsmobile Eight
Has New Features
Some details of the eight cylinder Olds
mobile, first deliveries of which will be
made In the fall, have been given out In
an unofficial way. The car haa a wheel
base of 130 Inches and Is well under 3,000
pounds In weight. TI.e body Is not radi
cally altered from that of the four-cylinder
Oldsmobl.e, exoept for the radiator
ar.d lamps, which are of entirely new de
sign. Features) auch as aluminum run
ning boards and Circassian walnut wood
work have been retained In the eight.
It la understood that the car will abound
in the qualities usually attributed to
eights smoothness, rapid acceleration
and flexibility on high gear, and that the
motor will develop considerably morn
power than would seem to be required
for the weight of the car, thus Insuring
a performance whloh almost borders on
the spectacular. The motor Is of the
V-type, L-hea4 with cylinders en bloc
The Delco system, which has been a
part of the equipment of Oldsmobllee for
several years, la used again In the eight
cylinder car and la mounted In three
units, starter, generator and distributer,
each unit Independent.

In alternate steps these four big ex

Jumped 78 per cent nut during the same I

Road Conditions
in Western States
During the recent trip which Lee Huff
made to the Fan-American exposition, a
close observation of the mad conditions
on tho main highways was made.
He says: "The roads along the main
highways over which we traveled were
In very good condition throughout Colo
rado, Utah and Wyoming and Improve
ments are constantly being made."
Mr. Huff attributes this largely to the
fact that convict labor Is utilised In these
three states. In many places along the
road, convict camps were seen and the
members of the gangs were apparently
delighted with Idea of working and living
out of doors.."
"It seems to mo," said Mr. Huff, "that
some sort of an arrangement for putting
the convicts to work on Nebraska roads
would prove very beneficial.
"It certainly, would he of greater value
to the state of Nebraska to devote the
energies of these men to got 4 road work
than to contract with manufacturing con
cerns for their services."
AV. K. Head, secretary of tho Llnlnger
Implement company, has Junt returned
from the Oakland factory nt Tontlac,
Mich., where he has been making & very
strong fight to get cars for his dealers.
Although Mr. Head could not get as
many cars as he needs to supply the de
mand, he did succeed in making arrange
ments for a regular delivery of cars,
. which will start very soon.
Owing to the lack of materials, the
Oakland factory cannot work to the
maximum capacity. At present they are
turning out thirty or forty cars per week :
and the capacity of the factory is 125 !
cars per week. !
The 12S mark will soon be reached,
liowever, as the purchasing agent has, by

New Empire Four is
Placed on Market
Power Increase, car refinement and
price reduction are the outstanding fea
tures of the Empire Automobile com
pany's announcement of a new four
' cylinder model, which Is being placed on
the market during the coming week. This
new type has been designated as "Model
40." It Is built In keeping with the de
mand for a .high powered quality Four at
a low price. In general design It follows
elosoly the type which it supersedes; In
fact, practically the only outward changes
from the previous model have been re
finements at tho front of the body In the
lengthening of the cowl to give full
streamline body merging with the hood,
and a considerable increase In tire size.
The car is marked by Its roominess, not
only In the width of seats, but in lei;
room In the tonneau and driving com
partments, albo by the finish and general
attention to detail.

Goodyear Tires Now on 500,000 Cars
There are now two million users of automobile tires.
Figuring four tires yearly to a car, we are now supplying 500,000 cars.
That means about two million tires this year.
Goodyear tires are gaining new users faster than ever before in their history.
Tires Not Alike
Goodyears are Fortified tires. They have five exclusive features, each of which com
bats a major trouble. These and other extras are costing us millions of dollars. They
are saving our users ten times as much, perhaps.
Yet note how many users still buy tires without them. They are not opposed to Goodyears,
we are sure. But they believe most o! them, prob
ablythat standard tires will average much alike.
Worth Will Tell
But Goodyears outsell any other tire. Every
month they are winning armies of new users. And
they will "win you If youll let them.
Some may meet with mishap and misuse. But
a Fortified tire will, on the average, outlast a tire
that isn't A double-thick tread, like the Goodyear
All-Weather, will outlast a thin anti-skid. Extras
in size, strength, features and fabric are bound to
mean extra service.
We urge you to try the Goodyear tire as we
are building it this summer. We have added $500,
000 in new extras this year.
These are the best tires built with fabric Not
a single rival approaches them in some important
ways. Let them prove how they save trouble, how
they save money. Their super-quality has won a
half-million users. Give them a chance to win you.

All Men Respect
The Hudson
Has that fact Impressed you?
There are no HUDSON critic.
Many buy other cars because they are
cheaper. Or because they are higher
high enough to be unique. Or because
they are novel In some other respect
But all of these men respect HUD
SONS. They respect the Judgment of men
whobuy them. That'sevldentevcrywhcre,
Note Its Buyers
About 95 per cent are experienced
motorists. About 23 per cent have owned
higher-priced cars.
They are motor-wise and fastidious. As
a class they are men accustomed tp th
best They are quality buyers who de
mand value. They don't care to pay for
mere excess or show. They want no pass
ing fad. They are buying, In most part,
for keeps.
There are multitudes of such men now.
And since June 15 when this new model
appeared they have bought over 5000
HUDSONS.
They Are Right
These men are right
The six -cylinder engine, with its con
tinuous power, is the ultimate in motors.
The HUDSON type high speed,
small bore, long stroke has become the
universal standard In a Six.
Excess weight is crudity. There never
was a staunchcr car than the HUDSON,
despite Its lightness, which Is unmatched
In any 7-passenger Six.
No car carries more passengers. Nona
has more needed room. None has more
comfort luxury, quality or class.
And none more beauty than this new
modcL It brings out the Yacht-Line body,
the Lustrous finish, enameled leather
upholstery, and many other final
touches,
If you buy a car In this class this season
you are bound to want the HUDSON.
You will not find a rival in sight of it
But you can't get a HUDSON, in all
probability, unless you order soon. The
demand for this car is exceeding all ex
pcctatlons.
