Mr. and Mrs, Leo A.

M. Robbins, president of the Centaur Motor company, distributors of Jeffrey motor cars and trucks. The scene, Palos Park hill, thirty miles ‘sun(h of Chicago; the star of the cast; the new Jeffery six. / 18 Accompanied by five or six news-" Iy because of the increasing miles of good roads that are being built and the recognition of the necessity for better roads as indicated by the re- cent laws passed by congress and signed by President Wilson providing for improving the roads of the coun- | try. | As a result of inquiries addressed | to the various highway commissions | it was found that there is a de lack of sufficient men with technical | training and practical experience in| road work to meet the requirements. | Eighteen out of twenty-four state commissions responding to . the in- quiries mention this fact and say that preference would be given to grad-| * uates of university and college engi- neering courses when making ap- pointments. It is the consensus among them that the number of road engineers employed will be double, at least, in the next five years, as a re- sult of the growth of the good roads movement. The type of roads required to meet present and future traffic conditions calls for a high degree of engineering skill, the foundation for which must be laid in civil engincering educa- tional institutions and supplemented by actual experience in road and bridge designing and construction: Out of seventy-five universities and | colleges heard from, which provide | civil engineering courses, less than half provide for any specialization by e F. C Ruprsrrr students in highway subjects. Only four have special hi7hway engineering courses leading up fo degrees or cer- tificates in this particular branch. The committee is endeavgring, first, to create a demand by students for such specialized instruction and, sec- ond, to encourage the colleges and universities to provide it. Following the enactment of the federal good roads bill last spring, the work of apportioning and award- ing the different states the first $5,- 000,000 to be distributed this year is now progressing at the Department of A, iculture. There is an evident disposition on the part of the state highway commissioners to have this money expended upon the main inter- state roads.

The Hupmobile is blazing a trail from Washing- ton, the National Capital, to the capitals of the forty-eight States. With no more preparation of the car itself than you would make for a day's tour, it is undertaking a 25,000-mile journey. It is traveling a route never before traversed by an automobile. This in itself is clinching evidence of endurance efficiency. Hupmobile Showing Remarkable Superiority But even this is as nothing as compared with the yemarkable demonstration of the superiority of the Hupmobile Perfected I'our over all other forms of motor car construction. ‘The Hupp Motor Car Corporation is chiefly con- cerned in carrying out its purpose of cementing the relations between the people of the forty- eight States, and giving renewed impetus to the good roads movement. But as a business man [ cannot blind myself to the practical side of the performance. 1 cannot put aside the proof positive which it offers that Hupmobile performance is not equalled by any car of any price or any number of cylin- ders. I realize that this is a strong statement. I purposely make it so because | am prepared, whenever called upon, to furnish local proof. In my own experience, | have had proof in plenty, It is offered now (and I repeat it herewith) in all parts of the country. ‘The United America Hupmobile is adding to the burden of evidence, every day of the tour. { am glad that this car is coming here so that | can make its visit the occasion of dnving home some astonishing facts which every car owner and every possible buyer ought to know.

Frequently | am asked why the Hupp Motor Car Corporation builds only four-cylinder cars, I answer now that the reason the Hupp Motor Car Corporation does not manufacture a Six, or an Eight, or a Twelve, is that the Hupmobile Per- fected Four surpasses these types in year ‘round performance. In Boston, for example, not a single multi-cylinder demonstrator will compete with the Hupmobile on Corey Hill. On the hardest grade of this double hill, the Hupmobile goes from a standing start at the bottom to more than 35 miles an hour at the top—all the way on high-gear. The manufactyrer of a well known Six has given so much publicity to a hill in New York that it is known as His Hill. But the Hupmobile beats that same Six on that same hill. Multi-cylinder cars in Philadelphia have not dupli- cated the high-gear performance of the Hupmo- The Proof Now, or any other time, 1 stand ready to prove the power and superior performance of the Hup- mobile Perfected Four in comparative and com- petitive demonstration of High-gear hill climb- ing.

No four-cylinder car is excepted: no six-cylinder car is excepted; no eight~cylinder car is excepted; no twelve=cylinder car 13 excepted. bile on the famous Tam-o'-Shanter Hill in Faire mount Park, On the word of a former Hupmobile dealer who now sells a famous six-cylinder car, the Hupmo- bile out-points all the multi-cylinder cars in the deep ball-bearing sand around Jacksonville, Fla. On Hospital Hill in Kansas City and in Des Moines; on Coon Hollow Hill, Seattle; on the Pasadena-Altadena climb out of Los Angeles; on Lookout Mountain in Colorado—everywhere the going is hard and cars fail—the Hupmobile is supreme in performance. An Invitation To A Comparative Test I know that these startling statements amount to an open invitation to you to find a multi-cylinder car—of any make or price—which can compare with the Hupmobile Perfected Four; or which is willing to compete with it in performance. That is exactly the meaning I want you to take. And | present the invitation herewith in the form of a challenge, of which | sincerely hope you will take advantage. Please understand that this is no mere show of opposition to multi-cylinder cars, I have no prejudice whatever against the multi« cylinder principle. I do not question the excellence or efficiency of good multi-cylinder ‘cars, I am simply laying before you the facts which demonstrate that, in every essential of moto: car performance, they are not the equals ot the Hupe mobile Perfected Four. And | would very n:\:ch appreciate your request for me to prove those facts with the Hupmobile against any other car or cars you care to name, Hupmobile Co. of Nebraska Factory Branch GEO. H.
