Auto Manager Says
Newspapers Have
Always Been Fair

Frankly, my thoughts at the end OF
the old year and the beginning of the
new turn gratefully to the newspaper men
and their newspapers" says A. q. seiber-
ling. general manager of the Haynes
Automobile company.
THE Haynes car has had In 1915 the
most successful year In its history. 1t
has made news every year Of its ex-
istence, from the time when Elwood
Haynes completed Americas first car
Every time we have real news to give
out we have given it TO the newspapers.
and they have always treated items
about Haynes on a strictly news basis.
/ do not believe in and will not counte-
nance fake publicity 1t is better for
the public, better for the motorist and
better for the automobile maker that
nothing shall be printed about motor cars
or motoring in general which is not
actually news. and therefore not only
of interest. but really helpful all around. "

HUDSON SUPER SIX
Is HIT In GOTHAM
Guy Smith Declares New Machine
Was a Regular Riot at New
York National Show.
FIRST SALE WAS OF A HUDSON

The super-six. the new seventy-six
horsepower creation. the car that created
a hundred new records on the SheepsSead
Bay speedway. was the sensation of the
New York Automobile show. according
TO word received by Guy L. Smith, the
local distributor of the Hudson.
II have Just received letter from the
Hudson factory telling of the great re-
ception accorded the Hudson at the show
that sets the standard of automobile ex-
cellence all over the country said Mr..
Smith. "The show opened at 3;S0 FRI
day afternoon, the last day of the year.
and five minutes after the Hudson
recorded the first sale Of the exhibition.
The car that went so quickly was a
beautiful white town car. the interior
finish Of which was In white and black
stripes. It was sold to - wealthy New
Yorker. who bought It for his wife.
'"The factory states that this car was
among the most beautiful at the show,
regardless Of price. and there were cars
there costing as high as $1,000 Each af-
ternon and evening the Hudson exhibit
was the mecca of thousands of admirers
OF motor cars, who voiUee their praises
Of the beautiful white Hudson In the
warmest terms.
THE factory states that the new super
six motor created a Juror. not only
among show visitors, but in the auto
mobile fraternity. Thousands OF ques'
tions were asked about this smashing
motor, which without enIarging the cyl
inders or adding to their size increases
the horsepower by 80 per cent and the
motor speed by 50 per cent. The si1
cylinders In the patented super-six motor
having a total capacity Of 2SS cuoi'
inches, produce more power per cuoi'
inch displacement than any motor eve
made. excepting special ones for racint
purposes.
''The first day Of the show more thar
q score Of demonstrations were made 10
prospects considering the purchase OF
super.six. The car performed wonder
fully in the dense traffic of New Yorl
city and took the steep hill leading u
Fort George. a miniature Coney lsian'
resort, on high speed without the slight
est difficulty.
From all reports received from TN

ever known and the indications are Una
