A ft m
motor Mechanic in
A Garage in France
TArtlS (AT') Oeuernl Persh
ing's son Warren may be In train
ing to follow tho footsteps of his
illustrious father, hut ho has shown
a fancy for ureasy overalls, the
steering- wheel of a, motor car and
the repair bench in the garage.
One of tho conditions upon
which the Kf-iH'ral penullled Wur
ren to prolong his vacation period
in I'ui'is was that he work. He ob
tained a job In a Karaite aad the
motor repair bench at which he
labore d for six weeks is open to
him should ho return for unother
spell during lils Switzerland school
days. From that It is assumed that
Warren was worth his salt as a me
chanic. Ui-cause he wasOcncral Persh
Iiir's son brought him no favors.
The. first day lie got a mild "bawl
ing out" from tho foreman, who.
seeing the boy looking at a motor,
woke him up wilh "Well, you're
not-hero to look, but to work."
Warren' was fur from work-shy,
however, and the lU-yenr-old lad
who- uri'iyed at 8:.1U each morning
wns unrecognizably- covered with
dirt' and grease less than two hours
later . . . . : .
. When it became known that Gen
eral -Persing's son was working In
a. -motor, shop, tho premises wero
soon besieged by reporters and
cameramen. It was impossible to
get him to pose for his picture and
most of the cameramen had to be
pontcnted with pictures of War
ren's back or his legs sticking out
from beneath a car. Tho worst
onslaught crfme from tho women
special writers. The repair pit was
Warren's refuge.
"Won't you come out and talk
to me?" many of them coaxed.
"I'm sorry. Miss, really, but my
boss pays me to work and I'm here
to work.".'
Of all tasks at tho shop War
ren enjoyed none so much as get
ting the cars Into tho garage at
5:30 each evening. One otter-another
he would proudly mount and
drivo Into their parking places
small cars, big ones and lorries.
Warren's boss promised to get
him a real French driving license
as a souvenir of his experience in
a Paris garago.

"Followlnff every reduction In
Hudson una Efwex prices, w re
peatedly hear tho question, 4How
does Hudson do ll't" said- K. 7
T.eUbetler, distributor of Hudson,
and Kssex curs for 1a Clrande, lit
commenting on the recent Hudson
lKsejt price reductions.
This ueKiton," continued Mr.
I-e'dbetter, "is of considerable In
terest to both tho buying public
and competitive motor car mer
chant s because, theso reduction
come at limes when there Is the
lea-st rea-son to expect them. Tbe
presumption in motor circles it
that tho reduction ur made to
make Hndson-Ktise.x cars available
to a still wider Held of buyer
"The fuel of the matter l that
these reductions are the ' result,
ratlier than tho caimo," of a con-
sliuitly increasing volume of huM
lies. ,-.-. ..... , , t
"Buyers are asking what thore la
about Hudson-Kssox manufactur-
ing -and Belling methods- which
makes the.se cuts possible what
method or. stunt can bo held re
sponsible. The -answers to these
questions are mast logical.
Throughout Hudson's manufac
turing and selling organization
thero is tho highest degree of co
operation. At the factory the ut
most care U taken to eliminate
waste in time and mat ex la Is and to
utilize only the best obtainable ma
terial and workmanship.
"Then... too, Hudson-Kssox has
basic advantages in being the larg
est manufacturer of six-cylinder
cars in the World and also the
world's greatest specialist la en
closed care. 95 per cont of Its vol
ume being In this type of business.
This assures the buyer the benefit
of -the skill of highly specialized
workmen and the economy's pos
sible where production la concen
trated on , single design.
"When this high degree of fipe
cialization Is added to great volume
you can accomplish extraordinary
results and Hudson hns done that.
. "This Is true ecenomy of the
kind which benefits the buyer, and
it is the policy of Hudson-Kssex to
pass along to the public' these
benefits in the form of lower first
cost whenever the volume of its
constantly increasing business war
rants u price reduction.'

A large measure, of the success

by development of cooling and
