This was accomplished through sheer merit —for no loud and ringing fan-fare of adver- tising trumpets accompanied its advent. Almost immediately, too, the success of the Hupmobile Eight began to influence the trend of public thinking. Furthermore, it started within the industry ajreadjustment to meet the demands of a new buying desire and intelligence. It began to be more and more obvious that never again would the American public be satisfied, in the fine-car field, with old stand- ards of performance and value. Owners of highest priced eight-cylinder cars were amazed to find that the Hupmobile Eight gave them impressively finer perform- ance, with almost startling economy of in- vestment, operation and upkeep. At the same time, owners of the higher- priced cars of types other than the eight-cyl- inder, began to discover the inherent short comings in those cars. In the: fine-car-field, the trend is undoubtediytowasd Eights (Terfo o So a large-section of the public, believing that these other types were destined to«pass into the lower price levels, began to act accordingly. What this means, of course, is the invasion and the eventual taking over of the higher priced field by the equally fine but less ex- travagantly priced eights, as exemplified by Hupmobile. Every day, all over America, new hundreds are added to the thousands who know through experience the utterly different kind of performance which the Hupmobile Eight affords. Every day sees the growth of the new ten- dency on the part of the public—and the new efforts of the industry to satisfy the greater expectation which the beautiful Hupmobile Eight has created.
