Ii The Harmonic Balancer was -ae- veloped to eliminate what " is known as "torsional vibration." This vibration s duetto the fact that the crankshaft, while appar ently a Very rigid member, has the same quality of elasticity as a tun- "X JiTg forkr which mates, u wnen i "Iwlsted. recoil, and tlbrata at a I ef inite " . rate; The ' ; Harmonic Balancer eliminate these periods 1 i of vibration.

AC the slightest movement of the shaft. the Harmonic Balancer picks; It un and" vibrates In the opposite direc tion,;' thfts ' neutralizing all vibra tion to provide smooth running at even the highest speeds'. It is a simple, rugged, non-wearing de vice that requires no adjustment whatsoever. , i y, i . The low, "racy body; lines .1 e achieved through; nse of hood and body beading, 'lower running boards and deeper fenders. A new, larger radiator, new hood and spe cial .head and: cowl, lamp give an impressive, front appearance. The new bodies by Fisher are extreme ly, low-hung and, possess a har mony of design In radiator, lamps. instrument board and body pr portiona that makes for an appear ance of compactness, symmetry and power.

When it is pointed out that an engine ot Oakland's displacement, operating at 25 ' miles per hour draws in' ?2 cubie feet of air in a minute, it will be appreciated thai a considerable amount of abrasi material gets into." the cyllnd r boresfc without such a device. Paralleling the installation of the air cleaner is an oil filter thai keeps the lubricant free from grit, carbon particles and foreign mat ter. Theq sediment is removed by a j filtration process. As the. oil parses through this filter several times each; hour atr ordinary, driv ing speecrs,it eliminates the Wear and tear of foreign particles on the connecting rods and m tin bearings at all times.

Only Hudson's exclusive advantages of the famous patented Super-Six principle ' combined 'with the world's largest production of cylinder cars make it possible. By greater margins than ever before it is "today the "World'sGreatest Buy The Great and Gentime Economy : ' Its Oumws Know". ; r , The good-will and satisfaction so evident through- , out Hudson's enormous ownership results simply from the conviction of hundreds of thousands of individuals that they have the "World's Greatest Buy." (The economy Hudson owners praise is not only in the- bis saving of first cost) they know, also the greatest of ail operating economies faultless service for mtmths" on end with rarely any need whatever for attention and at a minimum expense for service. 1 1 t 'by 5.25 are used.

Distinctive color striping on' body, hood and whoelj of all models Completes the at tractive color scheme. ' The Landau Sedan and Landau Coupe have natural "wood whetls", while the other three models have wood wheels finished In the re spective body colors.

The new radiator gives 12 per . cent greater cooling 'capacity. All models are equipped with a windshield cleaner, those "on 'the closed cars being automatic. The closed models have the Fisher W one-piece windshield,' - while tho touj-lng car likewise' has -a' one lece windshield, of new design. .The cars "have full effected au tomatic spark. In. the center of the steering wheel are located the tRrottle" and headlight dimmei; control. The lighting, ignition switch and choker are arranged on the instrument panel within tasy reach of the driver' The de Sign - of panel' and lnstrumr.t board controls harmonizes wttfi fieslgn of new radiator and. lamps. A 8 tiff er, heavier crankshaft.! weighing 66 pounds to the former 53 pounds, helps , the Harmonic Balancer in eliminating vibration. Oakland's efficient mechanical four-wheel brakes have been still further improved. The brake pedal action has been made softer, and all brake band are .now inter changeable. ' I Many vital advancements have beeh made , In piling system; in talfe' mechanism and in engine design. f ; . remember that ' short trips with many starts and Etops, hill climb ing, hard going on poor roads, and similar conditions require more gas than long, easy, straight away driving. Allowance should be made, consequently, in making comparisons. "To check gasoline mileage, fill your tank right np to the lip and check your speedometer reading. Make your drive. Refill your tank to the lip again, Check the gal- lonage required to fill it and di vide it into the elapsed mileage. ; LEASES AUTO STORAGE , BUSINESS ' "WV R.

These same individuals arc also alleged to be attempting" to 'Instruct me chanics in (he adjusting of" head lights of motor .vehicles withfre pect to tools and appliances to be used in such adjustment. , t The secretary of '"state, , acting under the authority vested In him I under recent motor vehlcje-lght . - - m ins law, lias issuea oiiiciai . in-1 struct ions' for authorised light ad justing stations and adjusters, which must be followed strictly In the equipping ot any such adjust ing stations before they -will be approved. .Likewise, any jnechan ic before being 1 authorized to make headlight adjustments - un der the law, will be required through an examination by the state traffic officers to show his qualifications and fitness for mak ing such adjustments. Secretary of State Kozer has given this notice so that any per sona proposing to establish adjust ing stations may not be imposed upon by unauthorized pereons, or mechanics desiring to fit them selves for light adjusting may not be misguided with regard to! the requirements Every light : ad- Justing station In the' state must be approved by . the secretary of state and all approved stations wui uispiay certificates ot ap pointment.
