IT I )N engineering is not mere theory, but a combination of theory and long practical experience. Our engineers have unusual ability. Proof of this is the fact that they have signed four famous American cars. They found out years ago how strong they should make axles, steering gem's, crank shafts, frames and wheels.

DOES EVERYTHING- ASKED In the Richmond Times-Dispatch Virginia Endurance Kim from Richmond o Washington, D. C, a Hudson finished with a perfect score, it was the only car in its class to finish perfect. Therun lasted three days 4G8 miles of rocky, muddy mountain roads. Jn a recent demonstration test in Honolulu, H. 1., a Hudson covered 596 miles, with the bonnet sealed and without stopping the motor. The car averaged 19 miles per gallon of gasolinec for the entire distance, 07 miles por quart of engino oil, and ran 596 miles on one quart of transmission oil. Performances like these are proof that the Hudson safety factors do more than make tho Hudson car safe. They mako it an economical car to operate and maintain. The question of upkeep is one which vitally concerns every automobile user. As making the Hudson strong insures you against accident, so does it insure you against repair bills. Sixty-eight corporations are already using Hudson cars for commercial purposes. They prefer them because they give steady service without costing much to maintain, and because their first cost is reasonable. In many instances they bought their second and third Hudsons after carefully trying out and testing the first ono. CONSIDER JVLARGrlN OF COMjj'OKT we want you to examine tne Hudson.
