convinced of the value of locating

desire to use maps in connection

The consistency of Hudson leadership is but the per
formance of its first principle, resolution and tradition
to always lead in value.
Thus it was the first car at moderate price to give truly
pest, performance, smoothness and reliability the
industry s standard today.
Thus it was the first in the development of American
closed cars, and such smart turnouts as the Town Car
and Speedster.
The Coach a Hudson invention turned the entire
industry to closed cars.
The Super-Six principle and its companion invention
that tons waste heat to power, is the most efficient
combination in development and transmission oi
power, within our knowledge.
The engineering and manufacturing resources respon
sibto for these great tvancements are expressed again
in Hudson's new leadership of mode.
