This cut in price should be wel come music to the ears of auto owners atj this time when it is beintr rumored that tire prices are again in advance. In the face of an anticipated general raise in the price of tires. the Western Auto Supply com pany, has this week, announced a temporary decrease in the price of their tires sold throughout their chain of 125 western accessory stores. ' i In making the announcement regarding the new price schedule, Mr. Pepperdine, president of the company, said:. "The prophets are no doubt right, .prices, may continue to advance, hut due to the foresight of our company, a large quantity of high grade crude rubber was purchased a few weeks ago when there was a tern porary decline in the rubber mar ket. This purchase of rubber at a lower rate reduces the average cost of our tires this temporary saving is being passed on to our customer. We are more than pleased with the results obtained from these tires by our motoring friends. Every day we receive letters lauding the performance of the tires both on pleasure and commercial cars. When preparations were made The fourth sweeping Hudson- Eesex price i reduction within a year was recently announced as affecting the entire line of Hud son-Essex enclosed cars which means more than 95 per cent of Hudson-Essex business. This reduction, together with those forerly made, has, these re sults: Compared with war time prices. all three cars sell at less than half the top figures. Or. put another way, the total of the reductions made on Hudson and Essex cars is a greater' sum than the present prices. With this series of price changes has come a tremendous growth In HudsonEssex business, until to day this concern is Indisputably the largest manufacturer of six cylinder cars in the world- . Each drop in price has greatly increas ed the number of buyers, and each time this added volume of busl nesshos made possible greater economies in buying, manufactur ing and all general expenses and overhead, j - j The same management which established the Hudson Motor Car company, now, as for sixteen years controls and directs the design of its product ' and policies of the company, j j "The cars themselves have been continuously and consistently in proved while this price reducing process has gone on." said Fred M. Powell, distributor for Hudson and Essex cars. "Constant reHoe- jnents are made in the general de sign, so that the present Hudson and Essex are sturdiest, most re liable, most comfortable and gen erally satisfactory cars Hudson ever built. Owners of the cars built several years ago find true when , they bay the Hudson and Essex cars of today. Quality has gone higher while price dropped. "In 1925 both Hudson and Es sex lines had established new rec ords of popularity before this pre sent price cut became effective. Now of course this rate of sales will be at even a faster pace. Hud son have been brought within he reach of thousands of additional owner. "We look for the final months of 1925 to be the best part of the year." RrssiAX fg;s BOUGHT 'SSL . u-A BERLIN.
