Hudson Super-SiX
Many former $500 to S140O cars now cost about as
much a Hudson Super-Six.

Price has always been a fairly accurate
index of quality. But just now, because
of the headlong rising of material costs,
price is not a true indication of value
Fifty-one cars have been forced to ad-
vance prices 2o@o to 25@o.
The present supply of Hudson Super
Skies is built from materials contracted

almost doubled. When that supply of
materials is exhausted, then, Hudsons, too
must cost more. BY prompt buying you

The Swedish Almanac,

The Swedish name almanac differs
from English almanacs in giving. be-
sides the usual information. a Chris
tian name for each sex for every day
of the year, says London Graphic. The
names set forth have to receive the
approval Of the king. The object aimed
at Is to secure q greater choice OF
names for parents and to avoid the
endless repetition OF dozen or SO
names. A similar name almanac Is is
sued under royal authority in one Of
the German states.
