Icy Announced
Announcement by Studebaker
of Its policy of no more annual
'new models' has brought com
mendation, both from the public
which buys the cars and from the
dealers who ell them. .
"It has ended a great economic
valae of Studebaker coBstruction,"
this sentence, taken Irom the com
ment of one communication, seems
to express the . general attitude
concretely.
: ; Taken from the .various com
ments heard, these specific bene
fits are most commonly mention
ed: " "Artificial "depreciation of ex
isting cars, caused by an an
nouncement of 'new models,'' Is
now made a thing . of I the past.
' The car can now be driten 'to the
full limit of the usefulness built
into it,with no owner embarrass
ment caused by annual changes.?
"Owner jftl-win, engendered by
such announcements a short time
after one had bought the latest
model In good faith, will be sup
planted by friendliness growing
'out of themanufacturer's conserv
atlon or its customers' Inrest
ments."
"An end to the suspicion on the
part of many owners that so-called
'new-models do not always con
tain sufficient -new -developments
of an importance warranting a
complete change in' the car." J
."Claims made by the maker for
enduring qualities of construction
mow will hare a chance to 1e jus
tified before the opportunity is
taken, away by an announcement
of annual changes, which causes
the owner to seek the latest'
without trying out the enduring
qualities of the car be has."
"Because the depreciation im
posed on existing cars by 'new
models Is wholly fictitious in
fict, this great waste of the -unused
transportation in Studebaker
cars will be ended."
"The public -will not naye to
wait till the end of each year to

raents deTlsed hy Studebaker's en
gineering department, which is
maintained at a cost of over half
a million dollars a year. AS "fast
: as the merit of improvements has
been demonstrated, they will be
added. Cars will be kept up to
" date all the time."
"An investment in a motor car
can now be made like any other
investment to run -the course of
Its natural life. This "will enable
those who desire closed cars,
which are of costlier construction,
to purchase them because they
will know the investment to
spread -over the life of the car it
self. Instead of : over the time be

"Used car, dealers declare that

to the value of those bought by

Product
When the Clevenland Six start
ed to manufacture motor cars
years ago, the policy or muming
as much of the ' motor car as pos
sible in its own plant was adopt-
i Tn thin (isv. this method ot
manufacture has been adhered to
with the result that practically
the entire car is now built in
Cleveland Six plants.
So successfully has this plan
worked oat with the building ot
the Special Six series, that the
same procedure is feeing followed
out in the construction of the new
Cleveland Standard Six. the com
panion of the Special Six Cleve
land. I .
Those vital ; units such as the
Mileage and Standard Six m'otors,
rear axles, transmissions and open
car -bodies J from which a great
deal of service is naturally expect
ed, are built entirely in Cleveland
shops. Cleveland ven goes so far
as to cut Its own axle and . trans
mission gears; does all the nickel
ing work, and the big electrio
enameling ovens enamel finish all
shee metal parts without the aid
of a human hand after being 'on
the big conveyor system. j , i
' Cleveland officials state that in
adhering to the practice of build
ins as much of both the Special
and Standard Cleveland Sixes as it
Is possible to do, a uniform stand
ard of quality can be maintained
because the parts are -always un
der the watchful eyes of experi
enced Cleveland inspectors.
Tire Manufacturer to
Visit Here on Trip
. Harry X.. McClaren, well known
tire manufacturer of Charolette,
N. C-, is expected to "visit the lo
cal McClaren dealers in Salem
early next month. He is coming
west by the way of the Panama
Canal to California, then north'
along the coast. Smith and Wat
kins are the local dealers.
another. Here. are a few- of . the
many points to be considered be
fore making the tent purchase;
the number of people on the trip,
the length of the trip, weather
conditions, "one night" stands or
a permanent camp, and the accom
modations of fesed by the car It
self. -
The tent should be large enough
to comfortably house every mem
ber of the party. It should be
light and compact for ease in
transportation. , ' It must provide
realshelter against storms, wind
and cold. It should be equipped
to keep out mosquitoes, bugs, in
sects, etc. The ideal tent can be
set up by one erson in a few
minutes time.
There are many different. types
in tents but the two that have
met with ready approval among
the majority of auto tampers are
the palmetto or umbrella and the
lean-to types.
The lean-to, or standard auta
tent, is a very simple tent and very
good for general auto camping
purposes. It consists of a single
sloping roof with a three foot back
wall, side walls and an open front.
The canopy at to pof the tent
extends oyer the car and fastens
to the wheels or hubs on the op
posite side of the car. When the
standard auto tent is used the car
can be made into a dressing room.
The palmetto and umbrella tent
stand quite independent of the
automobile. There are so guy
ropes needed and only one center
pole used on the palmetto. There
are screen windows, a pocket, a
full door completed with a canopy.
It is very easy to set up; simply
stake down the corners and raise
the center pole. This tent is
equipped with a sewed-in floor and
a canves sill that keeps out un
welcome visitors.
A -bobinet fly may be had to
fasten over the door to keep mos
quitos out of the tent.
You should have "very little
trouble in .setting up your tent if
you take special 'note how it is
folded when you first take it out
of the 1ag. Try setting up the
tent In the back yard or use it
over night to 'get used to hand
ling it before you leave on your
trip. : ..
Most of the modern tents come
complete with jointed poles and

wooden stakes. It is advisable to
carry a number of extra metal
stakes as the wood stakes that
come with the tents are more
easily broken than the metal ones
The poles and stakes shout be
carried in a separate bag. This
method saves wear on the tent
and eliminates all danger of hav
ing the tent punctured by a sharp
tent stake or pole tip.

The world's largest production of 6-cylinder cars, permits
the lowest prices in Hudson history.And for the finest
Hudsons ever built. Thus Hudson is more than, ever the
World's Greatest Buy
Hudson's leadership is the result of
ten years engineering concentration
. in Terming a great car around the
famous Super-Six principle. Its pat
ented, exclusive principle added
80 to efficiency, yielding 76 horse
power without added size, weight
or cost. Its simplicity has always
meant a lower gelling price than is
permitted in complicated types. No
design, 'however cosdy, has been
found to excel Super-Six smooth
ness, reliability and performance.
Hudson quality has constantly been
improved. Easier steering, greater
readability, more comfort, better
materials, finer workmanship, hand
somer appearance and more lasting
finish.
It is the greatest value offered in
Hudson's ten years of leadership.
