the world. For fifteen years he has concentrated
upon this dominant idea, and at last has per.
fected a cheap to buy and economical
to operate that it can be owned and used by
practically every family head in this country.
This design, approved by MIR. Hupp, is
the result of fifteen years effort to make low
priced car and a car that be operated at
low cost and that will stand up and give a greater
service for the money than any other automobile
made. The itself is well built, good to look
at and easy to ride in its higher priced COM
petitors. Il is a pure stream-line body, with all
late improvements, and will not only appeal to
the public at large, but will prove a consistent,
satisfactory method of transportation suitable
for the man or in any walk of life. While
the car will particularly appeal to those of lin
tied because of its low price, yet it's grace
full lines, ample power and economical expense
of operation will create for the demand
among every class.
An itemized estimate of the cost Of manufae-
turing and marketing these cars, based upon a
production of 10000 cars per annum, beginning
in 1917, indicates a net profit of $6S per car,
after making liberal allowance for the cost Of
manufacturing, advertising, selling, overhead
penses, &c. After allowing the 79o dividend ON
the entire issue of Preferred Stock, it indicates
a net profit of $1,S6o,000, sufficient to pay
dividends Of 20% per annum on the Common
Stock, besides setting aside $3.50, 900 to surplus

This new five-passenger touring car. to sell at
the low price of $395, is the result of Mr.. r. C.
HupP'S many years experience.
As result of his long experience in the au-
tomobile world, and with the of the evolu-
tion of the automobile industry for the past fif-
teen years, during which period his fame has
become international, he says, after carefully
checking everything over, that this creation
is without question the most perfect in design
durability and line of any low-priced automobile
ever made.
1t is we'll known that MIR. R. C. Hupp's ap-
proval and opinion of this car are emnently
worth while. He started with the Oldsmobile
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-08-05

in 1902. At that time tho car was sold ct $3.50,
when other automobiles selling at $4,000
and up. MIR. HupP graduated from the
Oidsmotor Works to the Ford Company in
1905. Through Mr.. HupP's knowledge and ex-
perience while making the lowest priced automo-
bile in the world, with the Oldsmotor Works, he
became one of the factors with Henry Ford in
the production of the first $500 Ford runabouts.
In 1908 Mr.. HupP and associates organized the
HupP Motor Car Company, producing a car at
$3.50 which at that time lower in price than
the which tho Ford Company turning
out as the Ford Company had advanced the price
of its cars to S975. Under MIR. Hupp's
agement the Hupp Company sales jumped from
$50 the first year to 5000 cars the second
year, and original investment of less than
$4,000 grew to a cool million dollars by 1912,
when Mr.. Hupp disposed of his interest and
tired from the company, owing to the fact that
he did not agree with the policy of his associates
in bringing out a higher priced car.
This same year Mr.. Hupp organized the r. C..
H. Corporation, manufacturing and selling a
touring car that lower in price than any
other made except the Ford, and the very
first year produced 5000 cars, and had contracts
with dealers for 10000 additional cars, making
q total sale of 27,000 for the first year.
MIR. Hupp has also had some experience in
manufacturing higher priced cars, but his hobby
has always been, and it has been his aim and am
bition to make and sell the lowest priced car in

These figures are based on an estimate carefully
compiled by who know the automobile busi-
ness and successful pioneers in the industry.
This new car should average 20 to ~ miles
or more to a gallon of gasolene, and at the pres
ent high price of gasoiene this in itself is de-
cided argument in favor Of the of this car.
The profits in the automobile industry are too
well known to require comment. The day of
experiment has passed. To-day the industry, the
third largest in the United States is a substan-
tial and highly profitable basis. The greatest
profit is being made in the manufacture of low
priced The demand for the that we
propose to build is apparent to everyone. The
cost of manufacture has been carefully worked
out, and after proper allowance has been made
for the increased price of material and for
any exigencies that may arise, there yet remains
a net profit of S69 per car, based upon
nual production of only 10000 That this
profit can be and should be increased by the in-
creased production is self-evident. That the sale
of the Preferred Stock at par will insure a suf-
ficient capital to enable this company to go
profit-earning basis seems assured fact. Thut
the Common Stock will soon become more valu.
able than the Preferred seems inevitable.
The Company proposes to adopt the most
modern business methods paying cash as it goes,
and pursuing a conservative, business-like admin
istration. The most progressive methods of man.
ufacturing and selling will be adopted.
