REQUIRED YEARS TO DEVELOP.
Modern Hudson Not an 'Overntxht'


Rome was not built on a rainy Sat
urday and a car like the 1916 Hudson,
according to Harry :. Houpt. president Of
the Hudson Motor Car Company OF New
York, Inc. cannot be craated overnight.
1T must grow and work out its own
Development over a period OF years"
says he. Its distinction lies In that per-
ioctlon OF detail which constitutes class (:
H. those things which come only through
INFINITE pains, through time and study
and skin.
Perfection in motor cars Ii a matter
OF development, and although the Hudson
Motor car Company have had the add
vantage of the skill and experience Of
the best engineers in the motor car BUSH
ness they constantly discover methods
for improvement.
"The new hudson is a car not only
designed and built by great engineers
but 1t IS Influenced by 1900 men who
have bought IL in the past twenty
months, and these owners make up every
phase of automobile treatment and ope-
rate their cars under all possible motor
conditions. From these thousands Of
Hudsons the company is learning each
Gay how to make them better. No one
can anticipate the possibilities OF the
motor car. And cars that have not had
the gruelling tests OF road service are
not so certain in their performance.
The Hudson has had to pass through all
that.
The 1915 car is multiplying sales and
II has brought new prestige to the Hud-
son name and through the efficiency of
the builders 1t has created a new price
standard for high grade cars

RECORD ORDER OF MrTCHE11s.
Carl II. Page Places order for ST.
100000 worth Of skies,

What ia said to he the largest single
motor car order ever placed for de-
livery In this country was the order of
the Carl H.. Page Motors Company Of
New York city for 81. 200. 900 worth OF
Mitchell The Six of '16' cars, TO he
delivered within ten weeks.
When the Carl II. Page Motors Com
pany was organized to distribute
Mitchell cars In the New York metro
politan district 1t anticipated the de-
livery of approximately 1000, 900 worth
OF cars in one year, but business pros
poets were so promising and the whole
tone OF the automobile market p~resaged
such an increased demand that this
amount is going to be exceeded three
fold. A full 100 per cent. increase In
business on the 1916 Mitchell models is
shown. Boston. Washington. Buffalo,
Pittsburg II Cleveland cannot get
enough cars TO fill all their orders. Chi
cago. Detroit, Minneapolis. Omaha, Des
Moines. st. Louis and Denver keep up
"a rapid fire for more cars, while orders
from Seattle, Portland. Frisco and Los
Angeles indicate the largest automobile
business the coast has ever known.
The South Is recovering In great shape
and Dallas. Houston. New orleans and
Atlanta are showing the effects of the
betterment Of conditions over last year.
The capacity Of the big plant is taxed
to the utmost and new men are being
employed as rapidly as experienced men
can be brought to that city, the In
creased output having already absorbed
all the skilled workmen in Racine.

Foreign Nations VIII Depend on
4. y. Parts Makers.

American manufacturers of motor
ruck parts should prepare now for the
end OF the war" is the statement of an
officer of the belligerent nations who is
now In this country on business con-
nected with the shipment of munitions
and motor trucks. The answer was
made to a question concerning the effect
the end of the war would have or Amer
lean truck makers, many OF whom have
been busy in recent months with war
orders. In explanation OF his statement
the officer continued:
Here In America motor trucks are
turned out in such great quantities that
The making OF separate units OF con-
struction such as axles. motors and
transmissions has become an industry
In itself. The business has developed
10 such an extent that the truck manu-
facturer need not make all these parts
for himself. In Europe. however, the
tendency has not been that way. Every
manufactured OF motor truck has made
as many OF the parts that entered into
his truck as he could. As a conse-
Quence the parts business in Europe ha.
never reached the prominence 1t has In
the United States.
But with the end OF the war there
will be a tremendous demand for trucks
In every European country ana many
manufacturers in France, Germany.
Austria and England who have hereto
fore made the entire truck will IL they
wish to hold their trade In their own
countries be forced TO buy motor and

DE PALMA MAKES NEW RECORD
Drives Packard Twin SIX 10 Miles
in s,3s LIS on Speedway.

Ralph De Palma. driving a Packard
Twin Six, established a new stock car
record on the Chicago Speedway on Sat
urday, July 10. He travelled ten miles
in S:3S l-5 with the cars top and wind
shield up and six passengers aboard be-
sides himself. This waS an average
speed of 69.5 miles per hour.
on the same day with top and wind
shield folded De Palma. carrying one
passenger besides himself, covered ten
miles In s:l&, An average speed OF 1913
miles per hour.
The times are Official. as the trial
were held under the supervision OF +. Il.
Edwards, chairman OF the technical
committee of the American Automobile
Association. and a committee consisting
Of Il. A. Turner, Darwin Hatch and Il,
G. Westlake, Fred Wagner was present
to act Al starter.
]. G. Vincent. Packard vice-president
OF engineering, conducted an economy
test duriny which the Twin Six travelled
fifty miles at thirty-fve miles an hour,
averaging 1873 miles to the gallon OF
fuel.
In All acceleration lest the car under
Mr.. Vincent's guidance picked up from
five miles an hour to nifty miles in 90 la
seconds.
Plans had been made for two dbl
tional tests, each calling for one hour
OF continuous running. but weather con-
ditions interfered.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-07-25

two starters who have made over
eighty-fve miles an hour will be posi-
toned on the starting list In the order
OF their speed and will move up INTO
the starting list in case OF any of the
original thirty-two eligibles being with
drawn. This Will not only insure a full
field up 10 the limit. but will give recog-
milton on the programme OF bhe official
speed records they have made In the
elimination trials. Liberal conditions
have been made as to the return OF the
entrance fee OF 5000. This will be
refunded moi only to all starters. but
also to those qualifying. but not in
cluded In the list OF starters owing to
the limitation of the field to thirty-two.
The colors OF the cars will be accord
Ing TO international usage. l. e.. Ger

and not the nationality OF the driver
will he the deciding factor.
Information In possession OF Manager
Thompson makes him supremely conf
dent that u big field OF candidates will
face the starter for the elimination
trials, which promise from a pure high
speed standpoint to prove as interesting
as the big race itself. Through the
purchase and importation Of one Of the
Grand Prix Delages by Barney Oldteld

TEACHING THE BEGINNER.
Brooklyn Cole Dealer Uses Car
"Anchored" ON "Horse..,

The anchored" automobile has solved
the big problem for the beginner who
doubts his ability to master the art
Of driving. From the inception OF the
automobile to the present day the prog
ress OF mastering control OF the motor
car has been slow and In many cases
has even kept persons who really wanted
automobiles from becoming the owners
Of cars. The new plan for teaching the
beginner. however. has eliminated every
difficulty and the pupil can learn to
manipulate a car without being exposed
to the dangers OF the road.
Like other inventions. the anchored
car was the result OF necessity. The
Idea originated in Brooklyn, y. Y, In
the salesrooms Of the Bishop. McCo"-
mick & Bishop Co, distributors OF Cole
automobiles In that territory. Cliff
Bishop found It necessary to discover
some easy method to teach driving when
the sale Of a motor car depended on II.
The method used to obtain the result Is
simple. BY using two small wooden
horses the rear wheels of the car are
raised from the floor Just high enough
to prevent the car from moving when
the wheels ~revolve. Sitting In the ma
chine, It Is possible TO &c through all
the motions OF driving minus the fear
OF road dangers.
To aid tho beginner tho car is placed
before a large plate glass window where
the driver can watch the reflection OF the
wheels as they go around and see just
what happens when the various levers
and pedals are operated.
In connection with this it is interest
ing to recall that this was the way that
Ralph De Palma learned to drive an
automobile long years ago in the same
Borough of Brooklyn.
