HUDSON KEEPS ON
BREAKING RECORDS
Ocean-t0-Ocean Run by
Hudson Breaks All Previ-
GUS One-Way Trips

In the first round trip, ocean to ocean
run to be made by any automobile against
time, the Hudson Super-Six, which
reached here Sunday morning in both
the going and return trips, broke the
best previous one-way records
The round trip from San Francisco to
New York was made in 10 days q hours
and 3 minutes. Last spring the best one
way record from coast to coast was Z
days hours The Super-Sx used was
a seven-pa ssenger touring car and car
ried at all times three, and sometimes
four. passengers.
Previous one-way records were estab-
fished with roadster and stripped models.
On the return trip the car was one and
one-half hours ahead of its going schedule
up to within $50 miles of the finish. On
account of heavy rains in crossing the
Sierra Nevada mountains 10 hours more
time was required to cover that leg than
was taken in the going trip.
The average speed going and coming,
including all stops and slowing down to
speed requirements of more than $50 cities
towns and villages passed through each
way, was close to 700 miles a day. Three
drivers, Ralph milford, A. II. Patter-
son and Charles Vincent by making train
jumps, piloted the car in it's round trip
across the continent.

the modern manufacturing business as

You should inform the public of that

GRANT SIX WINS IN
P|KE'SPEAK CLIMB
Sturdy, Powerful Car Shows
Extraordinary Mettle in
Classic Climb

By. winning the Pixies Peak hill climb
over all competitors in Glass E, Heinie
Jones, in his Grant Six, with its piston
displacement of slightly more than $50
cubic inches, created a sensation at the
famous Pixies Peak classic hill climb
that will long be remembered by the
thousands of enthusiastic motorists who
witnessed the event at Colorado Springs
recently. The victors tine for the ia
mile dash over the world s highest noun
tain highway was % minutes, AZ seconds.
1t is interesting to note that this an
nual event, which is recognized as the
worlds classic hill-eating contest is a
nonstock car performance. The entries
included most of the famous makes of
American cars handled by experienced
racing drivers, while the Grant Six was
essentially stock car-entered in the
race by the local dealers, tuned up by
them without the aid of any expert fac
tory mechanic. The firm of Mulnix &c
Rarie, who handle Grant cars in Denver,
have grown exceedingly enthusiastic over
the Grant because of its private perform
ance in climbing hills around Denver.
They took a regular Grant Six, stripped
it to its chassis tuned it up and then
ran it up the hill with Heinie Jones at
1t is significant that, while most Of
the entries by manufacturers included
two cars and many of them had three
and four cars on hand, there was only
one Grant Six in the contest, and only
one Grant Six ready to go into the con-
test When it is known that a great
many of the cars actually burned up
their engines in practicing for the con-
test, it will be understood why the Den
verites are so wildly enthusiastic over
the Grant Six record It's phenomenal
endurance, as well as the speed, was
clearly indicated, both in the trials and
in the race itself
1--WE entered the car owing to our en-
thusiasm in the Grant, which is justi-
fled by our knowledge of its ability to
stand up from stem to stern" says r.
C. Mulnix, president of Mulnix & Rarie
Denver. 1.-THE showing confirms our be-
lief that it is not only the fastest hill
climber in the world under $1,000. but one
of the fastest hill climbers in the world
at any price"

broke all records by climbing the Hill
of Despair on high gear

FORCE UNCHANGED
0. c. Friend, New President
Mitchell Co., Recognizes

tain changes in the sales organization
and 1t is noteworthy these changes
have been made without going out
side of their own organization.
John Tainsh. who has been assist
ant sales manager for three years, has
been made general sales manager. His
success as Mr.. Friends assistant is
unquestioned. His intimate knowledge

him admirably for the office of gen.
eral sales manager but also make
rim particularly desirable selectioH
from the Mitchell dealers standpoint.
Mr. George w. Nipple, known in
the automobile industry from coast
to coast, retains the office of general
merchandising counsel. His merchan-

rience, has peculiarly fitted him for
the sales promotion work he will con-
tinue to render all Mitchell dealers.
Frank w. Pelton will be assistant
sales manager in charge of western
sales and advertising manager. For
three years he has been in charge
of the advertising and the able way
in which Mitchell advertising has been

past has been eastern field represen-
tative of the Mitchell company. is
made assistant sales manager in
charge of the eastern sales. In view
OF Mr.. Mninger's broad experience in
both the manufacturing and selling OF
automobiles and the time he has de-
voted to Mitchell field work he win
be D. very strong addition to the sales
department. rs
F. w. Archer, who have given long
and faithful service to the company
and with whom practically every
Mitchell dealer is personally acquaint-

ICHANDLERS ABROAD


Foreign demand for Chandler automo-
biles has increased so greatly during
the past season that W. s. M. Mead, vice
president of the Chandler company, in
charge of exports, has found it neces-
sary to remove his offices from the
Brady-Murray Motors company, Chandler
New York distributors, to quarters which
will afford him more room at 1880 Broad
way, New York city. This move was
made effective September /. at which
time c. S. Levitt, formerly traffic man
ager of the well-known export house
of CASTOR Williams & Wigmore, joined
the Chandler export staff to look after
all matters pertaining to foreign ship
ments. Mr.. Levitt is one of the most
experienced men in export shipping, and
his coming to the Chandler organization
will greatly facilitate foreign movements
of the popular Chandler Six.

FIRE CHIEFS SEE
i. s. TIRE FACTORY
Heads of Fire Departments
From All Sections of the
Country See Big Plant

During the four days of the forty
fourth annual convention of the Internal
tional Association Of Fire Engineers, the
chiefs attending took occasion to visit the
truck tire factory of the United States

The United States Tire company fur
nished automobiles and a 20-passenger bus
to transport the chiefs from their hotels
to points they desired to visit, Mr. f.
w Waite, factory manager, threw his
enormous plant open for their inspection.
The S0O-ton hydraulic presses in which
these truck tires are vulcanized made
a tremendous impression.
The handsome souvenirs given by the
company also helped establish it firmly
in the minds of the visitors.
Mr.. c. ]. WEIGH, manager of the truck
tire department of the United States Tire
company, in commenting on the conven-
ton, says:
Il am certain that every chief who at
tended is alive to the fact that the

ire-ighting apparatus in the different
cities, and that the chiefs of fire depart
ments will not be slow to remember Us
when it comes to buying truck tires"

STOCK AND SPECIAL
MODELS DISCUSSED
BY PAIGE PRESIDENT
Harry NJ. Jewett Tells What
the Average Buyer Should
Look for When Buy
ing a Car

How to buy motor car has frequently
been the theme of articles designed to
help the man who wants to purchase an
automobile. but has no special knowledge
-, the subject to guide him." says Harry
M. Jewett, president OF the Page-Detroit
Motor Car company, Tn the main the
advice has been sound and the informa-
ton given has been helpful.
Recently, however, there has been some
new tendencies developed in the industry
which may have the effect Of confusing
the average buyer unless certain facts
are made clear to him.
''Just at present ona, OF the most i'm
portant trends, especially noticeable in
advertising. involves the status Of the
stock car. Every automobile owner,
every buyer of a motor car, present or
prospective. should know what is really
meant by a stock car, or what the sales
man should mean when he talks of a
stock model.
"A stock car is what the manufacturer
makes to sell and the public buys to
use for daily service. 1t is not a freak
car or a stripped chassis; it has no
specially made pistons or cylinders or
freak gear ratio; it is not tuned UP to
do stunts. ut is, or should be, the same
motor car in every particular that any
man can buy, that any man can drive,
that any man can use any time, any
where, whether in city traffic, on sandy
roads on steep hills.
Now stock models the cars you must
buy because they are the only ones made
for the market and the only cars that
could give you service, will not climb
telegraph poles or burn up the track at
time destroying speed. To be sure, such
cars can be made and sometimes are
made-for 100 miles an hour is easily
possible-but such a car is an impossi-
bility as merchandising proposition for
two reasons; because SO drivers out of
100 would not dare use such speed and
therefore, don't want it; and because if
built to make that speed such cars would
not be practical for daily service. To
do 100 miles an hour a car must have
specially high gear ratio. This ratio could
not be used in city driving. When Mr.
Average Buyer is looking for motor
car he should be far more impressed
by the fact thae the car offered him can
throttle down to less than two miles
an hour than in the assertion that a car
bearing the same name once broke all
speed records. Moreover he is vitality in
terested in gasoline and oil consumption
and he should realize that when a car is
built, or tuned, to do freak stunts it ac-
duires q voracious appetite for fuel.
