More than fifty makers have advanced
prices within the last two months. Cars
which formerly sold at $1,000 and $500
now cost about as much as a Super-Six.
There was no question as to which was
the preferred car then, though because of
the lower price many such cars were sold.
Now that there is no price advantage,
Hudson sales are at their highest. People
realize more than ever before that Hud-
son offers the greatest value on the
market. They are taking advantage of
the opportunity that the present market
condition offers. You, too, can save as
they are saving if you act promptly. We
know how many cars we are to get, but
we do not know how much longer we
can accept orders at present prices.
Be guided by the experience of the past
as It affects the Super-Six. Buy now. It
is like buying any other staple on which
you have positive knowledge that there is
soon to be price increase.
Surely there need be nothing said in
this connection to persuade Won TO a
Super-Six. 1t has already established its
reputation on every speedway, in every
endurance test, in the most dificuit
mountain climbs, in the most arduous
road trips, and most of all in the minds
OF more than forty thousand users.
