THE MOTOR SITUATION
As Viewed by the Hudson Company
Demand and Supply
y the Hudson Company.

This year it will certainly dominate In
larger way than ever.
The Super-SSix motor, controlled by. our pat
ents, is still used in Hudsons only. It is still
supreme. No other motor shows anywhere near
like performance or endurance.
Last year the Super-Six won all the worth
while records. In speed, in hill-chmbing, in
long distance and endurance it outrperformed
every rival. In endurance tests it excelled as
high as 81 per cent.
And now there ara nearly $4,000 Hudson
Super-Sixes in use. There are 10000 enthusi-
astic owners. Last year at this time there were
almost none, for the Super-Six was new.

Last spring IS demand for the Hudson Super
Six was at least FIVE times supply.
Thousands of ha,yers waited weeks fer their
cars Thousands after waiting long, turned
to other cars. And thousands, when they saw
our waiting list, were discouraged in advance.
We figure that $4,000 people were forced to
take which they wanted less.
This Springs Outlook
. All winter long have kept orr factories
running under pressure. Yet Hudson dealers
have only small stocks ahead.
Our production will be only one-ifth more
than last year. That is our factory limit.
Lack of freight cars is holding back ship
ments. There are frequent complete embargoes.
Ne Hudson dealer, before the active spring de-
mand, get any large reserve stock
Even at this writing, with deep snow on the
ground we deliver many cars by road. Today
81 cars start for Columbus, Ohio-191 miles
away.
The Var Situation
Many motor plants, in event of war, are
likely to be commandment So with steel
plants which furnish motor car materials So
with battery plants electric plants, and others
ON whom depend.
This is contingency which
analyze, but which all of US must consider.
Buying Capacity
The general belief is that, whatever comes,
this will be year of uneNampled prosperity.
Inc farmers are gettlng AlSI prices lAe ue-
mand for their products is not likely to lessen
And the evidence is that most lines of industry
are going to be taxed to the limit.
No previous year has at this season prom
ised so wide demand for cars.

outsold any other front-rank In fact, it
