26,000 MEN JOIN WAR
Against Motor Wear and Friction
ENDURANCE PROVED BY
HUDSON SUPERSIX
Let us not confuse the issues which stand uppermost today.
It is not speed, not power, not hill-climbing ability which make the Super-Six su
preme. Though it holds those stock-car records.
It is the fact that those records were won against Sixes, Eights and Twelves by
minimizing friction in the motor.
That is why the Super-Six invention stopped the trend toward V-types. It reduced
friction vastly more than they did.
That is why a Six holds ruling place today. A new basic principle, patented by
Hudson, removed its limitations.
It was to minimize friction that V-types were considered.
Hut in that the Super-Six outdid them.
That is why it out-sped any other stock car. Why it won so many hill-climbs, in
cluding Pike's Peak. Why it broke all records for quick acceleration.
Why it broke the 21-hour stock-car record by 52 per cent.
Why it twice broke the transcontinental record in one continuous 7000-mile round
trip.
It was all motor endurance, due to friction and wear reduced to a point which no
other type has approached.
FEEL HER PULSE !
THE CAR IS A GOOD DEAL LIKE A HUMAN BEING.
IF THERE'S SOMETHING GONE WRONG, YOU CAN SENSE
THE TROUBLE BUT MAY NOT ALWAYS BE ABLE TO TELL
WHAT THE DIFFICULTY IS.
THAT'S WHAT WE KEEP TRAINED MECHANICS HERE FOR
TO FEEL THE PULSE OF THE CAR, FIND OUT WHAT THE AIL
MENT IS, AND THEN-APPLY THE REMEDY.
THE NEED OF TRAINED HELP IS NEVER MORE NOTICE
ABLE THAN WHEN THE IGNITION AND LIGHTING SYSTEM -THE

Now makers of Sixes point to the fact
that a Six still holds first place. But the
top place is held by the Hudson Super
Six. No six, eight, twelve or car of any
type has equaled it in any of the things
which count.
It is a new typo Six the Super-Six
made under Hudson patents. It rules be
cause it added 80 per cent to old-type Six
efficiency. Because it ended the Six limi
tations vibration, friction and wear.
THE ONE GREAT QUESTION
The one great question in choosing a
car is this: What motor type comes
nearest to eliminating friction?
That type will out-perform all others.
11 will wear the longest, cost the least fOr
upkeep, waste the smaller amount of
power.
That is now the Hudson Super-Six. It
probably always w ill be. No engineer can
hope to come much closer to perfection.
That is the reason for Hudson suprem
acythe wonderful performance of this
motor. . No maker can approach this type
in things that count for most. Until one
does, men who want a great car must
choose the Super-Six. With it he is
master of every motoring situation.
NOW A GASOLINE SAVER
Now another feature a great gasoline
saver adds to the Super-Six attractions.
And new body creations, in every style,
attain the very limit in beauty and
luxury. H
We have here now the models exhibited
at the New York Show. Come see them.

Studebaker Six Rated As
One of Best Cars Made !
The Studebaker Six is one of the
host automobiles ever mads, and it
should be, for it is tho mastci piece
of one of the world's lafgett makers
mnl no company in Ihe world in
manufacturing or engineering experi
ence, resources or organization, ex
cels Studebaker; and the Studeliakor
Six is the best work of Btudebaker.
it is n ear of masterful power, no
car in the orlilunder $8008 exceeds
it in this respect and, in ratio to
weight no car in tho world at any
iirioo exceeds a Stuilohaker six in
power. Vet it is remarkably eooiionuc
nl in irjisoline. tires. unkeeii and
maintenance expense, because ot its un
excelled design. It as easy riding and
as easy driving as ears of much greater
weight and longer wheolbase. and this
because of its extra long springs, scien
tifically designed seats and cushions,
anil perfect lines. Like the highest
priced makers, Studebaker has not
adopted temporary fads and fancies in
body design as an advertising or sell
ing stimulus. It changes body designs
only by the refinement of distinctive
lines, which are permanently beautiful
and stylish.
It would be equally foreign to Stude
baker nolicv to make radical changes
in its motor design either Four or Six
merely for the sake of advertising ami
sales value. The present motor has mot
every eiuergeney of average service and
at average driving speeds it is bettor
than any other dosigu yet developed. I
In the Series 19 refinements have been
made in the lubrication system, render
Lag it absolutely positive in operation.
Refinement! have been made in the
motor mounting and in the balance i
and design of the reciprocating motor
parts crankshaft, connecting rods and
pistons still further cutting down vi
bration ami adding to the siood and
power range of both motors. The evo
liition of the StudebSker motor and full
floating rear axle system has made the
Studebaker chassis one of the finest
pieces of automobile construction on
the market today.
