A. A. "It is to organization, even on its present scale that the car buyer owes this tax saving," says Mr. Henry. "The word 'owes' is used advisedly,, . It, Js literally true that the elimination of the excise tax was the result of or- i duced Jthe volume In objection to fiJL. it his obnoxious levy that concinced Tcongress of the wisdom of remov il ine it. - . "The average saving, in itself, looks like rather a small sum. It is estimated, however, that 4,000,- Wl automobiles will be sold this this figure is correct, it is P i ctarsnt 2 excise ta t that elimination of the tax will result in a saving to car buyers of $44,000,000. By any appraisal, this 43 no negligible sum and it contains a significant and valuable lesson. .' "That lesson is, simply, that or- jganization pays motorists huge dividends. The excise tax saving Is small compared with the tre mendous achievements that the future holds when a greater pro portiop. of America's 20,000,000 car rj aprg become conscious of the auTttntag of mass action." Pointing to the old adage that life is a conflict, Mr. Henfy con tinued: ' ' ,v ; "Everything about the automo bile industry, the greatest in the world is thoroughly organized, ex cept the motoraf6wTJeWThe individual concerns represent the acme of efficiency because the need for coordination was appar5 ent in the Industry's infancy.

"There are several Important chassis and body features which we have perfected in, this eight which were never Jtound on acar in this price class and we are de sirous of informing the motorists of . what he can expect from his investment" says.. O. Hutchin son, ; general - sales manager who ia supervising the 'fortniht' from the factory. . "The Hupmobile straight eight introduced last year led the. way toward a reduction of prices m the finer car field. We have, through our experience of the last nine teen years and our study of pre sent day motor demands designed a motor that brings for the firsi time the highest quality perform ance down to the price limit of the medium car buyer.' It is the shortest and most compact eight in line ever built. The uncanny quietness of the motor, its breath less pick-up hill climbing ability and unusual gasoline and oil econ omy have merited this car world wide popularity. "The valve mechanism, devised after the latest aeronautic prac tice is positively quiet and effic ient at all speeds. Tho connecting rods and crankcase arc of alum inum, an expensive, material giv ing the needed, strength without adding unnecessary; weight; light cast grey Iron pistons designed by Hupmobile are hand fitted to each cylinder within .0005 inch varia tion, and the 100 pound crank shaft with patented vibration damper are features which .are not found on anyi'car in xhisv price classv ' . . , i ; . .

At any rate we are going , to have every, car available going every hour of the day to show people not onlr what yalue theycan secure in a Hup mobile but what to expect if they purchase another car at a higher or slightly lower price." .

Shown here for the first time only a few weeks ago, this Euro uean type car, adapted to Ameri can driving conditions has elicit ed an interest which, is already reaching ireeord breaking heights. It has ' been? demonstrated twelve hours ,a day since it was announced.' .Speeial requests for rides hav come from many of the leading men in engineering circles who have been desirous of tryinfj out the power plant, testing the riding qualities and proving the claimed achievements in the way of performance. Special fifteen minute tests over a prescribed route to bring into play all of the performance capa bilities of this car,- have been made with the sedan stopping only long enough to unload one quota of passengers, and take on an other. 1 These tests have, included slow driving, quick acceleration, climb ing, quick stopping and demoh strations of riding comfort under difficult conditions of travel. The results of these trips, have left ia the minds of the occupants of the car a lasting Impression of something fundamentally differ ent from all previous conceptions of light car ability, according to the statements they have made after their ride was over.
