cars which sold from $1,000 to ST.
400 cost as much as Hudson
Super-Six, preference for it is
greater than ever. When materials
bought last year are exhausted,
then the Super-Six must cost more.
Judged by the advances made on
former cheaper cars, the Super

the final result of drilling operations at
the two deep test wells located at Ker-

has reached a depth of 7,2lS feet, which
makes it the second deepest well in the
world.
The world s deepest well is in Ru-

likely that the Geary well will make a
new world s record. Its promoters al

invested before it is abandoned When
