SPEED TESTS UTILIZED What's the: Latest in Batteries) ' Battery I improvements are every-day .affairs. V Important improvements come only once or twice in a decade. Experts agree that the most important battery improvement in years is the per fection of Threaded Rubber Insulation by Willard the invention that indefinitely post pones the need of battery insulation. k We carry a full stock of Bone Dry Batteries - every one as brand new as the day it left .the factory. You're protected against delay in getting a battery and against getting one that isn't in every sense brand new. Ask for a copy of the booklet "196,000 Little Threads." It tells the story of this remarkable battery. Electric Service Station 201-203 Wst Court St . The upetfhvay, the road race and the endurance run have been the cru cibles from which have come the per fected automobile of today. Driving & motor at top epeed for five and six continuous hours in a speed contest, or sending the car through endurance and reliability runs, put U to a greater test than five years of ordinary ser vice and immediately shpw up any weakness which may exist. "When it was announced five years ago that by the use of an .exclusive, patented principle. Hudson had in- ' creased the power of the motor by ,72 per cent without any Increase in j i sUe of the sacrifice of simplicity.; skeptics expressed a doubt as to I whether the car would stand up un der such a strain." declares. J. E. Ki- kins, of the Oregon Motor Garage. "It was to prove the superior en durance which also resulted from the use of this principle that Hudson cars were entered In speedway events. The super-six was not designed as a racing machine. Therefore it was not put on the speedway to display mere brute speed. It was entered merel to prove how the patented principle used In the super-six motor resulted In a motor with greater endurance than anything heretofore known, because the increase in power it yielded came from the minimizing of destructive vibration. "Pitted against the fastest special racing machines ever built, many of them costing from (15,000 to 140,000, these super-sixes made a record which has never been equaled. But It was a triumph of endurance over speed, for more than 60 per cent of the racing machines against which Hudson competed had more speed. What the super-six accomplished therefore, was due to superior stay ing powers. They won out by being able to hold the terrific pace where other cars with less stamina literally were burned up. in nine champion ship races during Its first year on the speedways, out of 23 entries, every Hudson car except one finished with in the money and a collision forced that one out of the race. "It was at Chicago that a Hudson special established the American speedway record for 150 and 200 miles at an average of 100 miles' an hour. This was faster than a car had ever traveled such a distance before. At Omaha. Seattle, Minneapolis and Ta coma, also, new track records were established. In some1 races, notably at Seattle, super-sixes practically monopolized the leading positions. taking first, third and fourth. In six of the biggest races of that year Hudsons captured three first poet- PAIGE Car irtjrnericra THE mere fact of owning a motor car counts for but little 'these days unless it is a, car of which its owner may justly be proud. And this, we believe, is one of the reasons why the Paige Seven-Passenger Touring Car commends itself so highly to tks car-owning public. It excites such general admiration that it is a constant source of pride to its owner. Ever since the Paige Six-55 first appeared three years ago, it has held an unquestioned position of leadership among the finest seven -passenger motor cars on the American market. Its handsome body, sturdy chassis and smooth -running motor are features often commented upon as being quit? exceptional in a cat of such moderate price. You have undoubtedly, at some time or other, ridden in a Paige Six-55.
