Hi sw .
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. .

& Great Companion Invention
to the Suber -Six Principle -
w -
This new companion invention to the Super-Six Principle con
verts heat, heretofore wasted in all other types, into useful power.
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.
