H udson-E ssex is draw ing to a close
th e m ost su ccessfu l year in its hts-
tory. T he q u arte r-m illio n m ark in
production lias been passed, w hich is
said by H udson officials to be the
la rg e st volum e of six cy lin d er cars
ever m ade in a y ear by any m an u
fac tu re r. F in al figures will ru n co n
siderably over th is to tal, as business
is going along m uch faste r th an is
usual at th is season of th e year.
Not only have H udson-E ssex sales
been sen satio n ally good in the U nited
S tates, b u t the dem and for them In
foreign co u n tries is rep o rted as la rg e

Essex is widely spoken of as one of
th e y ea r's m ost su ccessfu l curs, w ith
sales ru n n in g far ahead of any other
A m erican six.
In C anada th e g ro w th of H udson-
Essex p o p u larity has been m uch
ahead even of th e show ing In the
United S tates, w hile South Am erica,
A frica, A u stralia, E u ro p e and th e
O rient have cofne stro n g ly ahead.
“T he reaso n s behind such a w o rld

th e m an who is co n sid erin g th e in v est

W ebster, d ealer in th e G resham area.
"When the w hole w orld ag rees th a t a
product is ex ceptionally good, the
fact becom es h ard to dodge.
“ H udson and Essex ap p eal because
they offer a basic value w hich any
man can u n d erstan d . T hey specialize
