' The three range jn the automotive industry frcm the top of the lower price ficlil to the utmost in luxury ob tainable in automobile transporta tion. The Packard Six now is made in tXo typos, one the short and the other the Ions wheel base and with complete body type for both. With the full line of bodies for thj- Packard Eight there is a total oC ID standard body typea now prpduced by Packard and, in ad dition. 21 custom bodies, making 40 different car3 in all. )n the 126-inch wheelbase sixes only the five passenger se dan, the runabout and phaeton formerly were produced. To thi'se have been added others to make a full selection of types. The long wheelbase, 133 inches, now has all the bodies formerly used on the shorter wheelbase cars, round ing out a full line for this model and the complete choice is con tinued with the eight. All eights are now being produced on the 143-inch wheelbase. A new frame with many im provements, together with siual'er wheels has lowered both the six and the eighth an inch and a half. This with slightly modified .jdy lines has given even greater ap pearance of sleekness. The heigh th of the short wheelbce has been lessened even more. However, the added gracefulness of appoar anec has been obtained with an increase in room in the interiors, rather than at 'the expT :e of pass enger comfort. A full inch has been added to tlu; head room of the five passenger sedan, for in stance. .

When you buy your new suit of clothes and overcoat for the com ing winter at the present low prices for high quality goods, it is very likely that you are indebted in part to the modern motor truck. There's a pretty good chance, too, that a Graham Brothers truck was concerned, according to United States Senator Francis E." Warren of Utah, who is one of the larpe sheep raisers of the west. Sen--:.!- W arren and many other live stock men have reduced the cost of producing wool by installing fleets of these trucks ' on their ranches. Thf shepherds on the outlying ranges have living quar ters built on them as shown above. The trucks carry feed and water to isolated flocks in winter at lower transportation cots and more reliably and quickly than possible by any other means. In emergencies they have saved the lives of hundreds of animals, Sen ator Wcirren savs. by rushing sup plies of hay to snowed-in herds. These motor trucks not only cut the cost of your clothes while the. material is on the backs of the sheep, but throughout the process, of manufacture and merchandising until they are delivered at your door. Carrying the wool to -nar-ket, transporting the textile from the mills to wholesalers and delivering for the retail clothing dealer are operations in which the cost has been largely reduced by dependable motor transportation. smoothness of operation. In si lence. and smoothness both are as serted to give the nearest ap proach to coasting possible, re gardless at what speed the car is driven. Other results from the sum total of the changes that have been made add to the already well known long life of the tar and to its ease of maintenance. Doth the six and eight motors now are mounted at four points, resting on rubber supports at the front. They are set al-o slightly lower al the back than at the front, making a straight line drive when t!:e car is ec Trying a full load. An important feature of the new Packard service men to have a di rect bearing on even st ill . further lessening the need for repair op erators is an arrangement by which the cylinder wall-; are au tomatically oi'ed when the motor is started. Each cylinder ieceiv-. a spray of oil when' the choke i? pulled' out for starting. This is expected to be especially effective against motor wear during cold weather. Extensive research work whi'-h Packard has done for years for the aircraft divisions of the I. S army and navy and for the tank corps division of the army led in a large measure to two of the rh6st important improvements in the engines. Ono affects the Tankshaft and the othrr is a com ple.fejy xew type of valve spring. The. letter, is much more important than raight be thought, for the motorist givei litt!; bc-ed to valve springs, .except when one breaks. With the r-cst of the indutrv Packard had been giving intensive study to valve springs for more than a year. Their experience with aircraft motors helped lead Pack ard engineers to the solution. The result has been found to be a great improvement in vs-lve action, the better seating of valves wi:h con sequent lessening of necessity for valve grinding, the end of valve "cha'tering" at hih speed, an even quieter motor and practica'iv the improvements which have been made in the cars can be enum erated because of space limita tions. Many add greatly to the in terior apearancte of the bodies. With the added beauty of lines, too, there is available the widest possible selection of color combin ations. - Acceptance of the cars by the public is such that the Packard factory is operating at the great est production in the 28 years of the company's history. . probably dwindle for the winter, but as soon as spring opens up, a still greater boom in residence building is expected to get, under way.

Together they combine the highest efficiency in power gen eration, and the maximum efficiency in power transmission ever achieved within our knowledge. It makes Hudson the most economical car per pound weight in the world. Steam Engine Smoothness and Power The new Hudson motor delivers a flood of mKcd power from standing start closely resembling the mighty and elastic power f the steam en,ine. Yet at all speeds this power is buo3rant, vivacious and instantly answerable to the lightest touch of the throttle. In it are combined all advantages of speed, snap and performance of the high compresrdon motor, with the smooth flexi bility of low compression type. Spark knock heretofore characteristic of the high-compression motor is elim inated. Ordinary gasoline gives the per formance results sought through special and higher-priced fuels. By Hudson's method of vaporizing raw gasoline that enters the combustion chamber, oil dilu tion is prevented, and heat formerly (wasted through the exhaust becomes use ful power. ;i In all ways today's Hudson is the greatest ever produced. And it is natural that iti public reception surpasses anything in Hudson history. V Now On Display HUDSON SUPER-SIX SUtnJmrJ Mtdeit Coach . . . . . . Sedan " . . ... . 138S Custom Butlt MoJtlt !
