chamber of commerce, commenc
ing on the figures. ;
"The reason why automobile de

that the public must have trans

enormously. Farming conditions
are improved. All these factors
create a need for rapid short haul

"Low prices' of autbno$UeJ pro

ASK THE MAN WHO OWNS QI
CHRYSLER SIX IS
GAINING IN FAVOR
Popular American Motor (Com
mands Attention in Foreign
Auto World i
The Chrysler Six has caused as
much comment in European motor
circles as it has on this side of the
water. The following is an article
which appeared in "The Motor"
London, England.)
"The six-cylinder Chrysler titb
its safaon body, made by the Fish
er Corporation, is the most lux
urious car. I took one! out for a
short run the other day and was
very Impressed. In the first place
you have a powerful six-cylinder
engine, which it is claimed will
maintain, with enclosed body and
full load, a speed of 70 m.p.h.
There was no opportunity for
testing it at this speed? but I did
ascertain that a speed of 48 m.p.h.
can be reached on second, and to
accelerate the car from 35 m.p.h.
to 55 m.p.h. was a matter of a
few seconds, with only a very
light depression of the accelerator
pedal. So smoothly does it run and
so excellent is the suspension that
50 m.p.h. feels like 30 m.p.h., for
it glides along without fuss or
noise. The hydraulic four wheel
brakes fitted are a suitable coun
terpart to a high speed potential
ity. I found them smooth in action
and very powerful.
"Very few people realize the
harm that is done by drawing into
the engine, mixed with the. air,
particles of road grit, which not
only act as an abrasive,' causing
wear of the cylinders, t but also
form a quite substantial propor
tion of the carbon deposit in the!
cylinder ' heads. With the air i
cleaner, as fitted to the Chrysler,
impurities are thrown' out by a
rapid rotated fan in the chamber
from which the air f Is drawn.
whidh means, of course very much
longer life of the engine. ,
"The oil refiner is a means of
cleaning the oil of Its Imprities
and maintaining its viscosity. The
oil, in the course of its circulation
passes to a small tank on the en
gine dashboard, and j . this con
tains a cartridge, renewable every
three months or so, which separ
ates the delete: ious matter. I am
told that after running one of
these cars for 10,000 miles a sam
ple of the oil was taken from the
sump, analysed and found to be
free from impurities, while- still
retaining its viscosity After the
first 500 miles,; whtii the oil in
any engine should ie replaced
with fresh lubricant,! as it may
contain particles of sand released
from the castings, it is only ne
cessary tochange the oil once in
10.000 miles. j f
"Another feature that struck
me shout this car was the finger
light steering. I - demonstrated
how it could be driven from one
side of the road to the other by
merely placing one finger on the
rim of the steering vhecl."
Hudson dive Reduction
M in Super-Six Cars Here
. . . .
, The sensational reduction In the
price of the Hudson f.nper-Six
cars, bringing them to the' lowest
point in their ten year's history,
is simply a logical step . in the
Hudson program of giving great
est values, according to Fred M.
Powell, Hudson-Essex dealer.
i "The unexpectedness of. the
Hudson announcement gave it the
force of a bombshell," he said.
"The whole trade knew that Hud
son was not only -at Us-, highest
point of activity, Tut thatit8 bus
iness was on an ever-increasing
volume. .
"In the midst of such a situ
ation comes a startling price cut.
The price of the Hudson coach is
today actually less than qne half
of the price of the Hudson open
car just a few years ago. Yet the
quality has not merely been main
tained in the Hudson, bu the
whole car has .been, and now is,
on a program of improvement; in
its every detail. The story of how
the cut is possible and why Hud
son determined to give it a long
one and we doubt if the public
is half as much interested in these
inside why's and wherefore's as
they are in the fact that they now
can get a Hudson on the most
favorable terms it has ever known.
NEW ROAD NOW OPENED
National Highway Extends From
Gicat 'Lakes to Gulf j j
Another new national hfghway
has been opened, spanning i'the
United States I from the Great
Lakes to ne Gulf the Magnolia
Route. ; r
Direct, and in an almost
straight line, this new ereat motor
j route will offer an opportunity
muiur car time scneauies only
a little slower than the fast Dixie
trains out of Chicago, and will run
through some of the fairest part
of the nation, j '
Forty hours was consumed in a
non-stop run by . which Arthur wj.
Lang, a Gulfport, Miss., business
man interested in "Seeing America
First." officially opened the route,
carrying with him, between his
home town and Chicago, Col. Wil
liam Foster, promotor of the
route, and Donald de Metz relief
driver, in a Studebaker special six
car. v ' ;,f- . -;
The total speedometer distance
is l,t)63 miles,; and the new route
is sponsored 'by chambers of com
merce in all cities along its way.
Indiana and Illinois already
have completed with' concrete
their sections l ot the new trans
American route. Mississippi will
spend $800,000 building its secton
this year, 425 miles of unbroken
concrete. ; r '
