 Mrs. Mathis was accompanied from Luverne to Brantley by MT. Frank Rainer of the Brantley bank and sev- eral ladies. and the ride across the country was enjoyed very much on account of the charmingly cultivated landscape and the beautiful roads as well. At Brantley she was met by MT. Gus Hill, another banker. who had shared in the preparations for her coming. Five hundred farmers heard her speak here and all went away filled with the enthusiasm of her plans and ideas.

After dinner Mrs. Mathis went for a ride to see the beautiful farms surrounding Evergreen, and then went on to Georgiana, where she was the guest of MT. and Mrs. Metcalf. A large au- dience in the High school building greet ed Mrs. Mathis in Georgiana, and after she spoke she was rushed to the train where. by special courtesy of the Louis- Vile and Nashville, she was carried to Evergreen on the fast train in order to fill an appointment. She went by auto to Monroeville where she talked at 9 o'clock to a very large gathering and was courteously entertained by J. D.. Barnett and D. D. Mims of the bank.

The Christmas spirit that con-

And people are coming to find

HUDSON NOW SUPREME

This patented motor gives to Hudson the top in
Motordom No man who knows can dispute it.
With great a difference, II is bound to supersede
the best other types in existence.
That is why we stopped production on the former
Hudson at the zenith of our success That car-the
Sx-40-had won a new empire for us. II had quad
ruped our sales in two years. But we quit it when
the Super-SM proved nearly twice better And we
lost about 5000 sales as a consequence.
Then we doubled our factory at a cost of 81 5O0-
0OO Then we bought materials for $420O000O
worth of these cars this season. For all the de-
mand for the Super-SW must be supplied by Hudson.
Any fine Car buyer who knows the facts is bound
to choose the Super-SM. No other Car at any price
can match it in performance. And the best Six
built in former types is hardly one-half so efficient
The facts will also win thousands from lower
priced cars the Hudson The difference in value so
far exceeds the difference in price that any man can
see it, And the saving in fuel, in tires and in wear on
the motor, will wipe out the extra cost
Consider the excessive strains of that Speedway test
A motor which stood them is impervious to ordinary
service strains and capable Of any requirement

Thus we attain with small motor 10 horsepower
"A power that was never reached before save with
motors big and heavy.
We have attained the pinnacle at which engi-
neers have aimed 1t was to save vibration that
they built the Six. Then to save more, they built
the Light Six with small bore. The next step was
Vype Fights and Twelves- designed to still further
reduce the vibration.
Now all those types, in this chief respect have
been far outrivaed by the Super-Six.
All that was sought for in Fights and Twelves-
lack of vibration, smoothly flowing powers far
better attained in the Super-SW The result is vast
saving in tires in engine wear and fuel
