Every HUDSON a Success

Such body of experts render mistakes next to
impossible A dozen men check every move of
each individual
Your knowledge of American automobile
history tells you that every HUDSON car of
each model has been brilliant success.
There is not the slightest question about that.
The secret of such constantly increasing quality
as has been shown each year in HUDSON auto
mobiles is due to the fact that the best engineer
ing brains in the world are used intheir building.
We regard it as the most essential part of an
organization. Forty-eight experts are bound to
think faster, are bound TO create more new
features are bound to build more thoroughly
proportioned car than any one man can ever
hope to do.
No one mans personality, no one mans
experience can overshadow that of either Of the
other AZ except in the details which he knows
better than the Others know.
Such is the pedigree Of the Nep HUDSON
Cars 1t is nothing short of romance of engi-
neering achievement. No other automobile ever
90 completely represented what many trained
men could do. None other ever bore such unmis-
taxable evidences Of advancement and quality.

Worked Two Years

The result of two years work-the master
work of all these men-s shown in the NeD
HUDSON cars.
AS the experimental cars we're completed,
they were sent with a corps of experts and
drivers who knew all road conditions, over every
imaginable kind Of road
The cars were tried out last winter over roads
practically impossible to other vehicles. Snow
and mud and the worst weather did not interrupt
these tests.
Officers of the company rode on these test
trips. They demanded more emphatically than
any owner can ever demand, that the quality of
the Neo HUDSON cars should be thoroughly
known to them.
The Allegheny mountains became our test
ing ground
No road was too rough, too steep too danger
GUS ortoo long for these cars to be driven over
at maximum speed.
A driver--winner of many road races in Amer
lea and abroad-who knows no fear-drove at
top speed up rough mountain paths, through
bottomless roads Of mire and over every con-
ceivable surface that vehicle can be sent, 70

and the comfort to do the work and do it with
minimum fatigue to the passengers.

fame tied up to the car which represents his

The future Of all of them depends on this cara
making good.
There was never a car on whiclrsomany men
had so much at stake as the HUDSON Staff has
on this. There was never a car Of which 80 many
big men said, There is no part of this car which
we know how to build better"
Consider these facts when you read the claims
we make for this, the latest of the HUDSON
cars.

There are more high salaried, widely expert
enced automobile engineers on the HUDSON
Engineering Board than in any similar organ
ization in the world
AT the head of this body--now AS in number
lis Howard E. Coffin, Americas leading
designer and builder of six famous cars
No one disputes his pre-eminent position as
the leader of automobile engineering progress.
His associates have been gathered from
nearly every important automobile engineering
organization of the world.
There are men on this Board who were the
chief engineers of leading concerns. Every
automobile building nation has its representa-
tives here.
There are representatives from Germany,
France, England and Italy, as we'll as from
America.
Combined they have had hand in building
more than 100000 cars of 81 wel-known makes.
They Are Specialists Every One
No one man can ever hope to know as much
about automobiles as these men, working in
unison, know.
Each is stronger for being associated with
so many other experts.
Each is a specialist. Each possesses knowl-
edge and an ability not possessed by his
fellows.
In the same way that base ball manager
in building a strong team chooses specialists
who excel at certain kinds of pay-at pitch
ings catching, batting, and base running-so
Howard E. Coffin, four years ago, set out to
organize the strongest body of automobile engi-
neers to be had.
The world was his field. If man had
shown that he could get more power out of a
motor than any other man had been able to
get, or if one proved he could simplify work
Others had more crudely begun, he was induced
to join this organization.
STILL there are men here who know nothing
about automobile chassis designing but who know
everything about creating beautiful body lines.

1883 OF INTEREST TO FARMERS. 1912

Farmers look TO your interest when
/ buying phosphate for your wheat crop.
I Draper, Davis & Co. have been manu-
| featuring Jumbo Phosphate for thirty
years ; commencing with a few tons
until their trade has grown to several
thousand tons per year. Jumbo Phos-
phate has been used by the leading farm
ers of this country and has given as good
satisfaction as any goods on the market
and we intend to improve it this fall by
the addition of more potash to its com
position. You can buy better phosphate
and cheaper at home than you can for
eign goods. High railroad freights and
other expenses are added to the cost of
the goods and it all comes out of the
users Of phosphate, therefore we think
we can sell you better and cheaper goods
than you buy Of travelling statesmen; so
be wide awake and buy your phosphate
at home. We keep a large supply of
phosphate material on hand at all times
and are ready to mix any formula that
you may wish at the very lowest figure.
We would be pleased to have wide
range Of the farmers of this Peninsula
to use Jumbo Phosphate along side of
any brand they may select and be con-
vinced that it will grow as much wheat
per acre as goods that they pay several
dollars more per ton for; so bear in
mind, buy your goods at home where
you can buy them cheaper and better
than you can foreign made goods that
has to come through several hands be-
fore it reaches you; for they all have to
have a slice out of it, and you, the users
of phOsphates, have it all to pay T.; its all
added to the cost of the goods and it all
comes out Of you. We have the latest
improved machinery for the mixing of
phosphate and try to our utmost to mix
each and every ton as near alike as pos
sible. Its mechanical condition is such
that you can drill any amOun> you may
desire. We could give a long list of the
best farmers of this community who
have used Jumbo Phosphate and con-
tinue to use it, but space will not per-
NIT, so thanking you all for past favOrs
we solicit fair share of your trade for
this falls goods. Use Jumbo Phosphate
