three more stores fronting aa Wash
ington street adjoining bis present
Quarter at Washington and Stout
streets, above Klneteeth. This gives
bin a totsl frontsge of a little more
then three-fourths of a block on tV'ssh
lagton street, by half a block deep.
Now that be baa obtained much
needed space. Mr. Boss baa Installed
tw separata but complete shops, one
for Uudson. the other for alaxwell
service. Each eaa Is In direct charge
at a foreman to Insure prompt and ef
fleieat service. The old shop In ths
rear ef bla ehowrooms. Mr. Boss has
retained for Hudson work exclusively.
Tbe Maxwell shop and service station
baa been moved to the new quarters.
Carl Olson, former shop foreman, baa
been made superintendent, of both
shoes and servtea stations.
Mr. Boss has a very large stock of
both Uudson and Maxwell parte, and Is
better equipped thaa ever ander tbe
new arrangement ta look after the
needs of owners ef Hudson and Max
wsll ears.
Incidentally. Mr. Boss bad tba fore
sight a few weeks ago to lay In i
large number of Maxwell cara In ad
ditloa to his regular allotment la an
ticlsatlon that the price would rise
How that an ts rise In price haa been
announced by the factory, b has been
able to sell these cars at the old price
and they have been going mighty fast.
Mr. Boss finds that already there Is
a lot ef Interest In Portland In the new
Esses ftudsoo model, now being manu
factured at the Hudson factory. On his
recent trip to San Francisco, where be
net O. 1L McCornlck. sales mansger of
ths Uudson Motor Car Co. Mr. Bosa
was advised to expect the first ship
ment ef the new models sarly la July.
The new Esses Hudson Is really
little Hudson, though It will not In any
way compete with the regular euper-
otx Hudson models It la a smsll car.
Just a little larger than a Ford, but
with ail the comforts and refinements
af a large car. No attempt will be made
to bave the Essex Hudson compete with
the Ford, however, for It will be la a
considerably higher-price class.
Except that Its motor Is of foar In
stead of six cylinders. It will have a
miniature Hudson engine, with all the
Hudson features. Including tba famous
eorapeusating cranh-sbaft.
It had at first been the Intention ef
tbe Hudsoa Motor Car Company te
manufacture the Essex In a different
factory, but recently the decision wss
made te confine Its manufacture
sneaal to the parent plant. This de
cision wss due to the fscl thst It prob
ably will be necessary, owing to war
requirements, to curtail somewhat tbe
ma no fart ore of super-slses.
The Esses Hudson has been thor
eaghty tried out for several months
and bss made some remarkable per
formaacea The manufacturers make
the unqualified claim for It that It will
eutdemonstrate any ether car In bill
climbing, and that It will travel further
en a gallon of gasoline than any other
car made. .
There Is a very strong demand these
days for a small, light car with plenty
of power, at the same time having
comforts ef a larger car. The lightness
ef the Essex Hudson, together with the
fact that it will have the famous Hud
son motor, has crested a demand for
It even before It has come on tbe
market.

In Relieving Brakes.
In taking up on th brakes, do not
always remove the slack at the same
place. There usually are two or three
places In the brake assembly where a
"take-up" ls possible; and each time
the brakes are adjusted a different
place should be used. The first time
take up the rods at the rear, the next
time at the brake bands, etc

The last number of tbe Australian
Motorist, which ls the leading publica
tion of the motor trade in Australia,
contains the following reference to the
fastidious taBte of the rodents of that
country: "During the month we were
upable to prevent Hie total destruction
by rats of a matrix for advertising, re- -ceived
by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Company for Insertion In the December
issue. The rats appeared to con6ten
trate their entire approval en the Good
year matrix. After (he first sampling,,
when a portion was eaten, it was re
moved, but the next night a further
portion was consumed, and although It
was moved every day, it finally disap
peared. A night watchman says that .
the rats are new full of 'pop' and if
given seme gasoline should put up some,'
fine speed work."

Saves Labor
On The Farm
Lalley-Light.is actually a farm economy.
It is an economy because it saves both tabor and time.
It is economy because, on the other hand, it gives' better'
light for work which must be done before daylight or after
dark.
Used to operate separators, chums, etc its power saves
labor by releasing that labor to perform some other task.
And it is reliable. Light and power are always ready,, at
the lowest possible operating cost. ,
Owners' themselves tell you so in our testimonial book.,
