Show Large Gain in Year's Production . - Scoring the largest gain in pro. duction in the whole automobile industry, : the Hudson Motor Car company," produced more : than 134,000 Hudson and Essex cars in 1 9 2 4, or an increase of greater than 50 per cent over 1923, ac cording to complete figures for 1924 which have just become available. ' f This sensational gain In ; busi ness -was scored, it was said, de spite a general setback in ' the industry, and was based jointly on the success of the Essex six cylinder car and the great wave of public demand for .closed cars at moderate prices, which was ex actly met by Hudson and Essex coaches.' The successful record for 1924, it was said, marked the third suc cessive year in which ; Hudson Essex has established new produc- H tion records. In 1922 about 60,- 000 cars were made a new rec ord at that time; in 1923 a 50 per cent increase boosted ' this total to 89,000; and in 1924 an- more than '134,000. ; These three successive years ot advance have been the ; years in which i Hudson-Essex has special ized in the coach. The first coach ever developed was shown at the 1922 show on an Essex chassis; It was the : automobile Industry's first attempt to produce an en closed car at practically, an open car price 5-i - The strong tendency to enclosed cars since then has carried Hudson-Essex on a wave of ever in creasing business. This year found Hudson-Essex business . 90 per cent - in coaches, with open : can in recent months a rarity. This specialization: has .so simplified manufacture that both Hudson and Essex-are "now sold at a lower price than open " ones the 'only case of the sort on" record. ; ! In the three years f Hudson Essex has made more than lSX), 000 coaches. ' With publlo demand as it is, the Hudson-Essex plans are once more to" Increase volume on the coaches so that a new, high , production record is expected in 1925. : In "recent months, the demand for enclosed cars has greatly in creased in foreign countries as well as in America, so that coach es shipped to Great Britain now outnumber open cars. The same tendency is noted In' other mar kets. This is held to confirm the fundamental: advantages of the coach. :- 1. ?

" A.A.A. EXPAXDS L The announcement today by the American Automobile association of the establishment of a commer cial truck and commercial boa di vision as a part of a-program of expansion and increased' service is considered in automobile circles to be one' of the most significant moves that has been made in the automotive- field in many: years in that" it contemplates- bringing under one head all the owner automotive- forces of the country. - This' new division of the Amer ican Automobile association, ie to be - known as the Commercial Vehicle department.' It; will con sist of two entirely-separate diri--elons, a- trnck- division and a bus division, which- will he an ; integ ral part of the national . body. - -This Important move was 'recently- authorized' by the jBoard of - directors of the American Automobile association With the formation of these - divisions, the appointment of Charles P..

An automobile operated and, steered' by radio was what hun dreds of persons thought they witnessed recently during' a. de monstration" of an " , Oldsmobile coach ; staged' by the McGeehan Oldsmobile company, distributors for' Olds Motor works, at Fargo, K D. The car was started on a 40-foot cinder track " In- a vacant lot.' The throttle was set at 3 piles ti hour, the Bteering. wheel turned' tor make the correct circles and left, unfastened, "as the car operated. The Oldsmobile ran In this- manner. 12 hours a day for four days- in "weather - that" neaTed zero;t6mpera"ture., The total mile age J for the- 48-hours vra.s 162 miles, and r' the gas consumption averaged . 23.7 miles per gallon: The unfastened- steering7 wheel and the quietness wfth -which the engine operated : caused many of those who' saw the demonstration to believe the car was controlled and operated by 'wireless. -; ' tH): mum MORR THAN 12,000,000' ' r OP USED CARS ; "Remember- that after all is said and done, every car you see on the road and there-are more than . 12,000,000 of them Is ' a used car," says Byron C Wright, of the Certified PubUc Motor Car market. ''Thecertlfled . car is of fering to the public a good legi timate piece of merchandise; It filing a wide, economic need, that of individual transportation.' The public can be served with used as welj as new cars. And this busi ness is worth going after, because from the dealer's standpoint -the sale of used cars brings him in contact with a wider range of people in his community than does his new car business, where he' is confined to a certain price class.
