One OF the cleverest automobile books
ever published is being distributed by
Guy l. Smith. The book, How to Choose
a Motor Car" is published by the Hud-
son Motor Car company. Guy Smith
says this book Is absolutely free TO all
owners or prospective buyers of automo-
biles and be advises every man who con-
templates the purchase OF a car to read
II thoroughly. The book was written by
a man who has owned six cars and whose
experience and point Of view is that of the
average buyer. Smith said to a Bee"
man that the buyer didn't necessarily
have to choose a Hudson. but by reading
this book would learn great many
things he had right to know and would
be able to choose his car intelligenty.
