Ten Dodges, making in all two car loads, are scheduled to be unloaded by Distributor L. C. Smith today. This shipment is already sold and deliv eries will begin as soon as the ma dhtines are unloaded. The shipment does not fill the orders already sold. ..' At the stailt of the present automo bile selling season which began, with roost companies, in the middle of last summer, several plans were adopted to give better service to the automo bile owner, recites . Wilson, local agent for the Hupmobile. He says: "The Hupp Motor Car Corporation started out witW its Series 'N' Hup mobiles with a definite guaranteed service system which it has now main tained for ten months and has met 1 with uniform success in all parts of I the country. The Hupmobile Nation- wide service plan has probably been j the greatest innovation vtlhiich that j live concern has made in several sea- sons. It is the first time . that an I owner of' on automobile has been guaranteed any definite and stated I care of his car. Individually dealers in various sections of the country have done this in the past, buft it was the Hupp' Corporation which first grasped the opportunity to make this system universal. By thlTHupp plan an owner is given fifty hours of free service divided over ten months. This, service may be secured at any of the Hupmobile service stations through out, the United States and Canada. These service stations are being in creased every week. The corporation starited out with a thousand stations in the early summer and has steadily increased until the number is now over' 3500 and a campaign is on to make this 6000 by May 1st. This will guarantee to every Hupmobile owner a station in any section of the. United States and Canada in which (he is likely to tour this summer. "Another addition to the Hupmobile service plan was recently added. This was a Hupmobile touring guide for the use of Hupmobile owners, which contains a list of service stations ar ranged by states. The use of this book gives a Hupmobilist 'en route' in formation as to wtere he can receive attention for his car. The tourist guide also gives valuable information in regard to tires, roads, etc. This book has become so popular that a second issue is now being prepared." - Automobiling is the greatest recreation of the nattion.
