UliijUVll Ur UlUiroaat- throwout the clutch or do nny other tricks, we want to show the amount, of gasoline which a buyer will line in his regular driv ing. Our recent averages with a 191.8 Hudson are above IS miles to the gallon, which is .remarkable In loed for a large, fine-performing ear like a Hudson. . . "Of course gasoline economy Is not the main purpose In buying a Hudson. A man, . who purchases one of them wants to go aome where. He doesn't want to notice such things as hills. He wants to command the open road. We are telling everyone that we consider Hudson the beat roadlng car In the world today not Just in conversa tion but in actual test. Such a standard of performance Is what makes the economy so much more interesting. "Theso . tests will continue .until tvo have had an opportunity to nhow all our friends what they may expect from Hudson. "We have shown a good number now, and all of them have had their eyes open ed. Old-time Hudson owners who thought, they know all about the Super-Sixes have been as surprised as anyone else. The world do move." " . Hudson-Essex Dealer Is Through Listening to "Gas" Arguments "What'll she-do on a gallon of gas?" The man or woman buy ing a car these days Invariably aaks thnt question. Ed Led be Iter, Hudson - Essex dealer here, says he is all through listening to "gas" arguments or in dividual experiences about the fuel economy of a 1928 Hudson Buper Slx. He has fixed up an arrange ment in a Hudson with' which he is showing to motorists the exact mileage which may , bo expected from the car.

EXHIBIT CIIAIIIS BERLIN (AP) An "Aussterl lung Oer Stuhl," or traveling exhi bition of modern chairs, will visit the larger cities ot Germany and other countries during the sum liter. American, French and Eng lish manufacturers have been in vited to pnrtlclpute. Shell Manager Tells of "Wet" And "Dry".Gas "Where do you fln4 the differ ence between 'wet gnaollne and 'dry' gasoline? In the crankcaset" says H. U Hull, district manager. VThat fact, astonishing perhaps lo you as to muny other motorists, recently has come out In an In veHtlgatton of the effect of using different kinds of motor fuel. Or dinary gaaollno contains 'heavy ends and tho oil Industry terms this kind of fuel, and these satur ated particles are not consumed. They collect on cylinder walls and drain down into your oil, diluting It, lessening its lubricating value. "In actual tnsts, It -was found that oil In a motor crunkense was diluted nearly 60 per cent when the car was run with ordinary gasoline, whereas there was scar cely any dilution when the fuel chosen was Shell 400. the dry gaso line sponsored by the Hhell com pany. Jt's in tho crankoase that you find , the answer as to which is the better fuell "Hhell 400 has none of the heavy ends of crude oil which are found In ordinary gasollno. The name of this dry fuel ludlcntps why it la better. Ordinary gasoline Is re fined by heating crude oil to 43? degrees . Fahrenheit, and the last 37 degrees of the process extracts the wet, fog particles which cause trouble In your motor. Hhell 400, on the other Band, Is extracted by heating crudo oil only to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, thus avoiding the saturated portion, 'Kvery drop of 8htll 400 Is clenn, dry, vaporises completely when it goes Into your motor, works, when the motor is cold as well as when It la hot, and operates smoothly at traffic speed as well as on a long fast run. , "foul because Shell 400 Is dry, it is good fuel in all temperatures, winter or summer. There's no waste more of Shell 400 goen Into mileage and less Into the crunkenso than If you used un ordinary gaso line 'Modern motors especially need a dry fuel like Khell 400. They operate at such speeds that pre heating necessary to consume wet fuel Is impossible. Going Into the cylinder completely vaporized. Shell 400 produces a maximum of energy under every operuting condition.' 47 Per Cent Cars In State Foreign PAI.HM.
