Powell, "Hudson-Essex dealer. Mr. Powell declared that Hud son had! built and named the first sedan the motor world ever knew, the first speedster type of touring car, and now the greatest success of all, the coach, Hudson built the first coach in November, 1921. "When we see housanda of , se dans on the streets today," said Powell, j "it is difficult to believe that the first one ever built was constructed 12 years ago by the Hudson Motor . Car Co.L Then as now, the Hudson management was greatly interested in enclosed cars at a moderate price. "Up to that time. It w t. that only. the very wealthy would buy enclosed cars. They were built to jbe chauffeur driven. The Hudson management believed'that closed cars could be built with a single compartment, and that the owner, .would be glad to drive it himself. That belief was the basis of the Hudson sedan. It had a lot of opposition at first and it was a considerable period h' sedana became general. "Hudson's second great euccessJ fn bodies wan the four-passenger sports type of touring car.1 The first of .these the Hudson speed ster' was introduced along with the first Super-Six type of motor. Low and graceful, with sweeping streamlines, this car - caught the public's eye instantly. It was the first of literally scores of similar models. 5 But the greatest of all was the development of the coach. this was a truly fundamental idea -the idea of an enclosed car at an open car price. To develope that idea. Hudson had to over turn the industry's whole habits of closed car construction -applying to them for the first time all the economies known to simplified manufacture. ; . , "For three years, Hudson-Essex had this market to itself,, while makers of open cars vainly- re sorted to 6n device or another to stimulate satles. - But the . public wanted closed cars at open car prices--and now" the industry has stampeded to coaches. But for a long time to come , the man "who thinks coaches will think Hudson Essex. ' ' ' " Sweden to Cheer Sick : With Soothing Pictures TOCKHOlif. .

The initiative has been taken by a number of patients In Moerby county hospital who, having heard that there was a movement to place specimens of fine art - in restanurants, wrote to a leading Stockholm paper and asked why the same could not be done for the hospital where they "were shut off from nature and forced to gaze continually at white walls." The suggestion led to in quiry among hospital ekpertg who jgen-lenijor8ed the idea "pi bringing art to hospital patients, but made cer tain Interesting reservations.

' - I "Dodge Brbthers position on the used car question has' been clear and progressive from the outset. he said. "They bave always in sisted that dealers handle only good used cars and have empha sised over and over again the im portance of the used, car buyer's good will. We regard every used cjar purchaser as a. potential new car buyer, and treat him accord ingly. . We recondition Dodge Brothers used cars in - such thorough way that we feel absolu tely sure that buyers will receive a dollar in satisfactory value for every uuiiar isyesiea. j Take the question of service. Dodge Brothers dealers do not give so-called 'free service, but fjhey do prbvide good service. The reputation of. dealers the world over will bear put thia statement, 1 am sure. " K'-'-'"-'- "Dodge Brothers are against so- called 'free service' because this simply means that enough is add ed to the price of the car to cover the cost of a 'free service policy. n that way the buyer pot only pays for his serViae in advance, but he pays for something the dealer is giving to another owner, 4s he himself may . happen to re quire less service than other pur chasers. At any rate . he pays, whether be get It or not.' , J "Dodge Brothers believe In giv ing the buyer i f nil ; yalue for his money. Consequently, in selling him a car, they charge only the amount of their actual Investment in. the car, plus a reasonable profit for factory and. dealer. Ob viously, this policy makes it Im possible to tack on an extra charge tjo cover such item i as 'free serv ice.' Moreover, they believe that tjhe owner prefers to pay for his siervice "when he gets It and to py only for his own. j "The wisdom of this policy is reflected in the high degree of confidence that exists among own? era all over; the World fn Dodge Brothers dealer service stations. These owners know they will be expected to pay , a reasonable charge, .but they know they are going to get genuine parts and honest, accurate work. n I "The universal adoption of the flat rate service system by dealers $ias also solidified the confidence of owners.
