Some weeks AGO President Harry :.
lloup, II the Had on Motor Car Com
pany ANNOUNCED that the price OF the
Hudson Super Six would be advanced
S1Ij "A ear on December !. This he eX-
planned nj the time was due to the fact
that the materials entering In the manu-
facture of the 1917 cars would cost
vastly more than thosc employed In the
current years production.
Mr.. Houpt at the same time stated
that In view of the fact that the fac
tory only contemplated making very few
changes IN the car 1t would pay any one
TO buy Il ear before the prices were adj
vanced. That his advice was followed
is indicated 10y the fact that he has sold
almost every closed car contracted for
de-. very prior to December | and has
only a few open or pha"ton models left.
These he expects to dispose OF within
the next few days IN the order of appli-

In the earlier stages Of automobile
manufacturing, for instance. the scrap

inspection Of these parts in the earlier
stages, which enabled a defective rart

1T is true beyond question tina, the

kind Of bodies that the average motor
car buyer has been dreaming Of and

The bodies are built by the Hale q

largest IN the United States, capable Of
manufacturing anything from automo-
bile tenders TO railway coaches. These
people are noted for their quality pro-
ductions.
The Paige Motor Car Company con-
trac'ed with this company for the man
uficture of "A number Of these bodies.

A inspection Of the Paige closed

by usinr better quality and less guam
