only things that. wore out tires, re

Water, oil, grease and light rub
ber's worst erfemies work In a
garage more ' actively than on the
road. In washing. the car the rims
are liable to become rusty and eat
away the tire.-' A coat of graphite or
common atove polish will prevent
this and keep the tire from creapi'ng.
Oil or grease should never be al

If a tire has been smeared with
grease, it should be washed thorough

This beautiful closed car is the
most attractive value ever offered '
by Hudson.
We are now showing it for the
first' lime. Come see it. It con
; cefns you personally -and your
plans for buying a car, whether
open or closed model. An exam
ination of the Hudson Coach will
pay you well. .
The Coach will cost you less even
than the open model of any car to
which you compare Hudson in '
quality, performance and reliability.
.' And see how fully it meets your .
: closed car requirements at a sav
ing of perhaps 800 to $1500.
Think of a closed car on the famous
Super-Six chassis, for $1795.
. That is less than 6 percent above
thecostof the Hudson open models.
It is the lowest differential between
open and closed cars ever attained.
. It is a sensational achievement in
- car manufacture.
You need no other assurance with
respect to the beauty, quality and
smartness of the Coach than the
fact that Hudson has always led in
building fine closed cars. It has
-' created styles that are patterns of
the industry. The Coach is in keep
ing with Hudson's best traditions.
- It is certain to be the most popular
type Hudson ever built. Be sure
to see it. It is just out. Early de
liveries will be possible for those
who place their orders at once.
