We Would Not Have 1t Otherwise

Winning the war is the one big
Job that confronts every man,
woman and child in America.
Everything else must be sacri-
feed to that one great end.
Hudson has for some time
been devoting part of its large
factory to war work, and while
the decision to go on a 100 per
cent basis affects no one more
seriously than the Hudson deal
er, it commands only our heart
lest approval.
Under present circumstances
we would not have it otherwise.
We rejoice that the Hudson
factory can and will play its part
in carrying the banners Of lib
erty forward to victory.
Our hope is that this move
may exercise the greatest pos
sible influence in bringing the
world struggle to a prompt and
triumphal close for Democracy.
SO far as we are concerned we
are proud to bear our share of
the sacrifice. IN A

To our good friends and GUS
toners our message now is one
of congratulation and reassur-'
ance.
Although the manufacture of
Hudson cars will soon cease, the
supply of replacement parts now
on hand is adequate to meet all
needs over a long period Of time.
We know it is no longer neces-
sary to suggest prompt action to
prospective owners of Super
Skies. Everyone must realize
now, if never before, that for
each Hudson Super-Six still to
be made before production ceas-
es entirely there will be a dozen
buyers.
We hope that it will not be
many months before we can
have the pleasure of making an

Be addptG6Ie.-Find out about
the place and the audience.
Ascertain local conditions. Get
the figures for that town as to the
men in service, the number of
casualties, the record on former
loans, on the Red Cross, the

organizations, Home Guards, Red
Cross branches, etc.
Let your speech fit your au-
dience. Draw your illustrations
from things they know about and
care about. Consider what is the
best appeal to farmers, to fac
tory workers, to tradesmen, etc.
Canned speeches will get few
subscriptions. Select those topics
that you believe will appeal most
to that particular audience. As
simulate them, think them over,
dress them up in your own way,
with your own illustrations. Make

yet almost any speaker can greatly
improve his effectiveness by study

People soon tire of the effort of

Enthusiasm is born of coHvic-

enthusiasm that is genuine.
