Last year the Hudson '3S' established
such a mark for its simplicity, power,
and general value that it won
its way wherever buyers gave close at
tention to it's details.
People in all sections bought the Hud-
son ''33'' because it was designed by
Howard F. Coffin. Most of these buyers
were persons who >had owned cars of
his earlier models. They knew from
what he had done before what to ex-
pect from his latest car. The first day
the Hudson "332 was put on sale orders
were taken by dealers throughout the
for 6ST cars. These were bona
fide sales that were made without, in
most cases. even a demonstration.
At the close of tlre season there were
orders on hand for more than 2,0OO in
excess of the number the company could
build. Even before single 1872 model
was shown dealers had deposits In hand
from their customers. who thus had as
sured themselves an early delivery of
the latest model.
