STUDEBAKER WILL
MAKE NO CHANGES
Models Will Remain Same, But
Advance in Price May
Come at Any Time
Now.
R. T. Hodgkins, gales manager of
the btudebaker Corporation, it at
thority for the statement that Stude-
baker does not contemplate a change
in models this year. In making pub'
lie this information Mr. Hodgkins
says: "In our opinion Studebaker en
gineers have reached a point of near
perfection in the Series 18 cars. Our
engineers have been concentrating on
the one basic design now for the past
four years and have, naturally enough,
been able to constantly improve and
refine our product. They have taken
advantage of the splendid opportunity
to observe the performances of 300,
000 Studebaker tars in the hands of
owners in every part of the world,
and through this experience of actual
service the, Series 18 Studebaker cars
have been evolved. Personally, I be
lieve that our engineers have given
us one of the best cars in the world,
regardless of price. There's really no
good reason why we should announce
new models at this time; in fact, I can
say definitely there will be no change
in models this year.
Farmers Make Buys.
"Upon my recent trip throughout
the middle west I interviewed many
dealers and found every one of them
enthusiastic about the prospects for
sales to farmers this year. I have
never been so impressed with the
prosperity of the farmer as I was on
this last tour through 'the bread bas
ket of the world.' They have not had
too much rain out there and appar
ently weather conditions are ideal. I
have never seen such a wonderful
stand of corn as there is in Iowa to
day, and as a former Iowan I took
more than passing interest in the
country through which I traveled.
"I remember when an Iowa farmer
was highly satisfied if he received $40
for three hogs, so you can imagine
my surprise when I actually witnessed
a farmer out there now sell three
hogs for $240. From all of my expe
rience and knowledge of Iowa I have
never seen such prosperity. " The
banks out there have so much money
that it is literally sticking out of the
windows."
Marmon Design Attracts
All the Military Men
""The Marmon design,", asserts
H. Felton, "is attracting attention
among military men who, in preparing
for active war service, are interested
in the performance of automobiles un
der adverse conditions, such as often
confront them in the field. The Mar
mon's lightness nd its ability to
maintain unusual speeds over very
rough roads, two of the outstanding
features of this scientifically con
structed car, are factors of the first
importance in the army's requirements
of an automobile.
"War service also calls for an excep
tional stamina in the motor and for

Mr. Jamison asserts that the Nor

In the three years that Mr. Jamison
has been in Omaha the sales handled
through Omaha have jumped from
500 cars to 1,800 cars. The year prev

Posse' Organized to
Hunt for Wild Dog
Reinforced by police from the Cen
tral station, armed with shotguns, the
residents in the vicinity of Twentieth

nunt a mad dog late f riday atternoon.
Efforts to locate the dog proved of
no avail.
John Roberts 2011 Miami street.
and Wendell Shultz, 2027 Maple
street, were both bitten in the leg by
the dog. Or. Griffin, who attended
them, reports no serious injury.
A Car It's a Pleasure To Own
WHEN you exchange your money for an
Auburn Six you can be sure of this: Three
months, six months or a year later you will still:
be convinced that you not only Igot your money's
worth, but more.
The used-car market is the best proof of this.
Though you can buy slightly used cars of dozens
of makes, cars that have been traded-in after
three or four months- use, by disappointed own
ers, you will have a hard time to buy a slightly
used Auburn Six.
Auburn Six buyers keep their can. They always have
the feeling that they have bought wisely and they obtain
full enjoyment out of their cars. '
Your Auburn Six will prove a good looking, roomy,
comfortable car, with plenty of 'power at all times. It
is economical and dependable.

Wins 100-Mile Chicago Ama
teur Race at Average of
Eighty-Nine Miles
an Hour.
The Haynet "Light Twelve" which
set the new amateur record for 100
miles at the Chicago auto derby June
16 and made a new non-stop record,
had tinder its hood the engine which
H. E. Doty, Chicago branch manager
for the Haynes, has been using in his
pleasure car the past winter.
Mr. Doty never expected his engine
to win-such signal fame. It has the
regular stock valves and stock displacement-
H had driven- it over
3,000 miles for personal pleasure. Not
having time, prior to the race, to lim
ber up the engine sent from the fac
tory, it was at the last moment de
cided to use Mr. Doty's stock engine
instead.
Hard Won VictoT.
i Percy Ford, jr., an amateur driver
and salesman at the Chicago branch,
lined up against an array of $4,000
cars. Fender against fender the
Haynes Light Twelve and another
contestant battled for nearly forty of
the two-mile rounds, each fiercely
fighting for leadership, and averaging
ninety miles per hour.
Thereafter the lead was securely jn
the grasp of the Haynes. - Without
one stop for. adjustment or tires, the
Hay! completed the century at an
average of eighty-nine miles per hour,
the new record for amateurs. Ford
ays he always had plenty of power
in reserve and that if he had been
pushed harder he would have main
tained an even greater speed.

Manager of Hupmobile
Announcement of the advance
ment of two men well known in the

circles throughout the United States,

been with the company as supervisor
of, branches, has worked along with
Mr. Fields, automatically succeeds to

'This Time Hudson Super-Six Special Makes New American Speedwayi
Record for 200 Miles, Averaging 104 Miles an Hour
Ralph Mulford has again demonstrated
the endurance of the Hudson Super-Six.
At the Chicago Speedway June 16th
50,000 people Raw him establish new speed
records for 150 miles and for 200 miles.
A special racing car was used. It embodies
all the details of design and construction that
has accounted for the records of endurance
held by Hudson Super-Six stock and racing
cars.
The motor is exactly the same size as the
stock motors. The design is no different.
The principal changes are such as could
be made at nominal cost to any Hudson
Super-Six. ,
Endurance All Important
Vibration is the foe to long motor life. It ac
counts for breakdowns and for high maintenance
(cost
Vibration Is usually responsible for the car's fre
fquent trips to the repair shop. -
It Is vibration more than anything else which
(forces cars out of speedway contests. Vibration
accounts for diminishing power of motors.
If vibration and friction could be entirely elim
inated there would be no such thing as a motor car
erer wearing out By reducing vibration the life of
the car is prolonged. -
Vibration also reduces the usable power of the
(motor. Much of the power generated is consumed
(within the motor by its own vibration.
Phaatoa, 7-pawaiigar. .
Spavdstar, 4-passanfar.
Cabriolet, S-paseanger. .
The Hudson Super-Six motor, more than any
other type, has minimized vibration. That is why
the Hudson Super-Six is more powerful and capable
of greater endurance than other cars.
These Tests Prove It
Hudson Super-Six speed tests are in reality en
durance tests.
It is possible to build faster cars than the Hudson
Super-Six Special, but the speedway record of 104
miles an hour for 200 miles, now held by a Hudson
Super-Six Special, proves mat endurance is more
important -
Faster cars have never been able to meet the
strain of such long distances.
Endurance Is just as vital to you as it is to the
driver on the speedway. Even though you may
not care for great speed, you do want endurance.
Your car must be able to meet every service strain.
Our interest in racing is not so much to see how
fast we can make the Hudson Super-Six. It is
to demonstrate motor endurance. It would take too
long, at ordinary driving speed, to demonstrate the
endurance life of a Super-Six. The speedway
in a few hours calls for all the stamina required in
years of ordinary use. These racing tests are of
interest because they show the endurance of a
Hudson Super-Six.
Race drivers are the most exacting critics of
car performance. More Hudson Super-Six cars
are used in racing than of any other make. Most
of them are entered by professional' drivers whose
only interest is to win prizes. They were stock;
cars made suitable for racing, chosen because
of proved endurance. No other racing car of
prominence so nearly resembles stock production)
as does the Hudson Super-Six. Practically all
of the notable racing cars, and particularly thoso
against which the Hudson Super-Six Special has
shown its superiority, were built especially for,
racing. They bear slight resemblance to the stock!
production of any factory. Their cost is usually;
so great that not more than two or three cars
are ever built. The Hudson Super-Six is es
sentially a production car.
This Calls for Endurance ; .
The principle by which it has minimized vibration,'
and thus increased power and lengthened motor
endurance, makes it easily suitable for racing.
Experts who know the true quality of all cars select
Hudson Super-Sixes because they can rely upon!
them to win their races. . ,
The veryqualities of endurance that are necessary1,
in racing are the qualities yeil should demand in
the car you buy. It guarantees safety, low main
tenance cost and long service.
You can get a Hudson Super-Six In any body type
you may desire. There are eight designs to choose
from. The carriage detail matches the high quality!
of the chassis construction. Because there are now;
36,000 Hudson SupetrSix owners, a Hudson Super
Six costs considerable less than any car with which,
it is comparable. .
