Lasting pride of ownership comes from masterful performance, ease of operation and maintenance, from reliability and economy. These qualities cannot be revealed by any other test than actual performance over long periods of time and in the hands of. every type of user. Hudson holds first advantage because of its patented Super-Six the world' s most famous motor. More than 800, 000 have been built by Hudson under its exclusive principle. For 11 years it has been outstanding because of distinctive smoothness, wide flexibility, power, speed, and reliability. Hudson is easy to steer. Its power range is so great that gear shifting is lessened, and the riding action is so well arranged that lone hours at the wheel are not tiring. Economy is found in low operatkf and maintenance cost These are the qualities that make genuine satisfaction. Upon such a chassis is mounted the coach. It gives all closed car comforts. It is sturdy, beautiful in line, and complete in every practical detail. Its sale has exceed ed that of any closed car priced above 1 1 ,000. That production has led to greater economy and much lower prices. It has permitted many improvements in ciusjs and body So today's Hudson Coach not only the best ever built. It also is priced lower than ever before. Ledbetter Garage Phone 511 -J Hudson -Essex Snla c Sales and Service
