Van Sant, local Hudson-Essex dealer, today. “It sort of carries the idea that the enclosed car is some especial sort of automobile. “It won't be long now before the regular run of cars will be en- closed ones, and probably we shall then have special open car shows to open the spring and summer season. “The Hudson factory is now turn- ing out Super-Stxes faster than ever before in its history, and nine out of every ten of the number are enclosed. That sort of policy is ed car action, The Hudson and x coaches, which were the first enclosed cars in the world to sell at practically an open car price, are now at the very. top of their popu- larity. “I feel agfe in making this pre- diction: “The general run of enclosed car manufacture will have to be com- pletely overhauled, and body-build ers will have to manufacture thetr products on a progressive.assembly system, with the same economical les involved as are now in ractice in the making of It is because Hudson- Essex has made enclosed cars a yolume-production proposition that the staunch, durable coaches can be sold at an open car price. “There is no inherent reason why enclosed cars should cost greatly more than open on Many of them do smply because they are de-| signed, manufactured and sold as spécialties and not as standard Bo0ds. “That situation will have to be reversed. The industry will have to produce enclosed cars as its utility, every-day vehicles and make the open cars as specialties. Naturally when that practice becomes general, the enclosed cars will sell as low as, or even lower than the closed ones, zecause the closed car will be the volume-production job. “I have just this plece of advice to m prospective automobile buyer.

Officials of the Hupp Motor Car corporation belleve that no car on the market, at any price, provides in all its vital parts for a greater margin of strength in proportion to known strain than the Hupmobile. “Such provision,” declares Chas. D. Hastings, president and general manager of the corporation, one of the simple secrets of long life, and is why the earliest models we built are still in daily service in all parts of the world.’ x Among recent letters received at the Hupp offices in Detroit from its owners are many that tell of Hupmobiles that have each given in excess of 100,000 mil of service to date. The aggregate mileage of 17 of these cars is 2,603, . Al Bloomstrom, of Forest, Wash., is the owner of a 1914 Hupmobile which, it is believed, has traveled @ greater distance than any other automobile ever built, with possibly Petite and charming Mildred |Davis, who !s Harold Lloyd's “girl” in the movies and his wife at home, |has bought a Buick roadster—the |first one delivered in Los Angeles. | Judging by the well known smile {which Harold wears in the picture, |there will be no argument in the |Lioyd household regarding the wis: |dom of Mildred's choice. | The Buick ts a great favorite in |California movie circles, as well as ;among those who do not bask go 'Exports of Motor Trucks Growing Motor truck exports from the United States in July amounted to 5, as compared with 2,129 in June, or an increase of 45 per cent. |'This does not include Canadian ex- ports of United States companies, or foreign assembly which usually amount to nearly as much agal! ter of dollars and cents that, count: ing inevitable depreciation in the re-eale price, you can own an en- closed car lke the Hudson-Essex coach for a year more cheaply than you can an open one.” THE AUTOMOTIVE MELTING POT Conducted by “SPARKPLUG” Purpose—To “Wise-up” the automobile owner.

It reduces vibration and shock. i 2. It increases the comfort of motoring. { 3. It removes the danger of skidding. 4. It eliminates most of the punctures, And because Dayton Thorobred Cords are built for underinflation the tread yields to road obstructions, wears away more slowly and evenly, does not chip or cut, and as a result, thousands of additional miles of service are made possible. The following table shows the amount of air pressure recommended for different sizes of tires by the Society of Automotive Engineers, the reductions now applying to Dayton Thorobred Cords, and the new Dayton Standard air pressures, TABLE OF AIR PRESSURES 8.

Guichara, 701 Ninth ave- Seattle, writes that his 1915 model has covered 250,000 mile: “I never do anything to it but adjust brakes, grind valves and tighten a few bolts and every three years give it @ general overhauling,” he re- ports. His replacements have con- sisted of two drive axles, counter- shaft gears, valves and connecting rod bearings. Locating Leak In . Vacuum System A small leak in one of the con- nections of the vacuum system sometimes makes it impossible to maintain the proper fuel level in the tank, especially when the pulling is hard. Such leaks are indicated by the hissing sound which is pro- duced at the point of leakage, but the loud hissing of the suction through the carburetor difficult to hear. A good of locating the leek {s to proceed ag follows: fasten the catburetor to the engine, cut a piece of cardboard” enough to replace the gasket ib is used at this point, but do not cut a hole in jt. Then replace the carburetor with the cardboard be tween it and the engine. when the engine is turned over, the suction will be through the vacuum line only, and the leak will be in- dicated by the h: mobile Digest. makes it remove the screws which Then REVELATIONS OF MR: -——the, most, contented motoristiinxsix states! erm ted MUS (@Thatsin dent noe 6 to Sah THE CONTINENTAL OIL’ COMP CONOCO Se ae a gn aed ORY aa bi (EPR (A Cotternio Corporation) ce ee e I’m in, it’s where I’m always sure of getting clean, uniform, dependable gasoline.; Set Lowest Price . ~ In History Reduced price!
