B. By LEW A. CATE3 S o'clock; tomorrow morning Cla&cey, who is now engaged :n decorating the armory for the feec nd annual automobile and truck show, will turn the spacious build- ng oyer to me exniotiors, ana irora that moment until the curtain rises at 2 o'clock that afternoon the deal ers and tbeir assistants will be busy In placing their repective exhibits in the spaces assigned them. The number ot pleasure car entries having, exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the show manage ment, it has been found impossible to gire space tp trucks and conse quently these motor vehicles, some 20 in number, will, weather permit ting, be parked adjacent to the na tional guard building on Liberty street, where their merits will be ex tolled by salesmen. Even with the elimination of trucks from- the ar mory some professional juggling will be required to so place the more than 50 automobiles that all may have representation on the floor. Decorations Are Complete. The armory has a floor space of approximately 8000 square feet, and providing for two eight-foot aisles through the center of the room and f uor-foot aisles on either end, and allowing 8x16 feet for each car ex hibited, the big building will accom modate only 46 machines. There are 34 different makes of pleasure cars represented in Salem, and the greater number of dealers are de sirous of displaying two or three models of tbeir -babies." Thus it will readily be seen that the man agement will be called upon to per form magic In order to retain peace in Salem's big automobile family. But President Delano and Secre tary Halvorsen, who are shouldering the bulk of responsibility in connec tion with the forthcoming show, are closely identified with that class commonly known as pinch hitters and those persons who slip a piece of silver into the itching palm of the association's .financial agent at the box office may rest assured of "see- CREAM FOR CATARRH OPENS UP NOSTRILS Tells now To Cet Quirk Relief from Ilead-Colds.

H.as The Super-Six Motor is Patented and Exclasice.lt Added 72 per cent to Power . Don't forget hat no other car in the world hat a motor like the Hudson Super-Six. When you see a Hudson doing the things that only the highest powered cars can do, rememher that in size, the Super-Six motor vis not large and that it obtains its great power because f of the patented principle which minimizes vibration. Adds to the Life of the Car, too . " i t . - Vibration is the greatest destructive force about a motor car. . .. Vibration does far more damage than any hock received in useful service. Yon can see its destructive effects when a motor is raced. . . , . Vibration absorbs power. By minimizing it, greater power is available for the opera tion of the car. And there is less strain and damage done through self destruction. The records made by the Super-Six were possible only because of its patented motor. It enabled the Hudson to maintain close to its maximum speed for hours, even days as in one test, without hammering itself to pieces. Now Note How Hudson Is Even Greater Hudson records were made more than three years ago. Then G0,000 Super-Sixes were distributed to owners. Everyone be came a help in making the present model a finer, better Hudson, of which 100 are de livered daily. The qualities of every detail were brought up to match the motor, that had reached a new high level of efficiency. All men seem to know this. For four years Hudson has been the largest selling fine car. Practically every buyer has had to wait for delivery. Even now we are booking orders for advance delivery. That men will wait to get the" car of their choice is proof of Hudson quality.

It is far beyond the experimental period From a mechanical viewpoint it is correct in all the elementary prin clples which go to make up the au tomotive vehicle. And the day of radical changes in automobile con struction appears to have been rele gated to the background, never again to be called forth. Naturally, there will continue to be betterments of minor character the same as in other lines of endeav or, but methods have been tried and perfected until there can be little room for further rapid or radical de velopment. As a result the automo bile is an automobile, and not a mere mechanical indication of some thing different to follow. To the purchaser this indisputable fact Is assuring, even Rreater in Its importance than to the vendor. It is assurance that money expended for an automobile brings a practically perfect product; a product behind which are the maker and the deal er, whose knowledge of what, it can do, and what it will do. is no long er clothed in misrepresentations or deceptions. The field is too wide and the demand too great to depart from legitimate business channels in order to "turn a car" of any brand. Industry to Expand. These facts place the automotive Industry on a higher plane, and promises material aid In advancing It from third to second standing among the industries of the world during the present year. Locally, the advertising columns of The Statesman this morning are indicative of the proportions to which the industry has rown in Sa lem. Where a comparatively short time since only a few lines were rep resented today finds 34 different makes of automobiles and several models of each make, some 10 re tail establishments having entered the field within the past year. There are 16 concerns handling pleasure cars, and an equal number handling trucks, eight of the latter devoting their entire attention to promoting sales in their particular line. Ijarga Investment Seen. While the aggregate amount of money involved is. of course, unob tainable, a conservative estimate of the Investment by those Salem men directly connected with this gigantic industry as dealers In automobiles. trucks and their allied lines, is con siderably In excess of $500,000, in addition to which must be allowed a liberal sum for the equlpmnet of shops where motor vehicles are re paired and other work similar in character is done.
