r. j. Church, manager of the
Hupmobile Sales Corporation in this
city, announces having received the
lew Series "R" Hupmobile. This new
model is the result of nearly two
years labor on the part of the Hupp
motor car corporation. This time
includes building, testing and re-
building, experimenting in our labor
atories and testing on the road under
all possible conditions. Further than
that, it might be said that the new
model Is the fruit of nine years eff
fort In it the manufacturers have
tried to cmbody all the good ideas
they have learned in these years.

clean cut appearance with no un-

This company believes the cylin-
der question in its mechanical as
pect has ceased to interest intelligent
buyers as far as the performance of
motor cars goes. The actual per-
nance by comparison with any
cylinder type is considered the best
test by the Hupmobile organization.
On the question of simplicity, the
Hupmobile engineers say that there
is no doubt that the we'll built four
has the advantage over all other
types of motors. This, in their opin-
ion, permits greater quality to be put
in few parts than is possible where
multicylinder motors makes for
greater expense on account of more
parts and more operations. There
fore this company has consistently
adhered to the four cylinder type of
motor.
\ telegram just received by Mr..
Church, as follows, sets forth the
ccmpany's production possibilities,
showing that the government has
ample production capacity for mu-
nitions, without curtailing the pro-
duction of automobiles to any great
extent
Manufacturing facilities of coun-
try will give priority to war needs.
We must win the war. Government
has placed no embargo on automo-
bile production. There Is no nones-
sential list. Have offered proportion
of our productive capacity. Govern
ment cannot use it now. Are pre-
pared to give assistance when need
ed. Shall produce all Hupmobiles
possible. Freight car scarcity coal
situation, materials will probably
curtail our maximum schedule. We
know gross production of industry
Will be somewhat cut. Demand
stronger than ever. This means sure
sale for every car built. We expect
to take care of your demand if it
doesn't increase too greatly. No
problem to sell cars we can build.
Great problem to supply your de-
mand. Our industry in strongest po-
sition ever held. Hupmobile factor
