America Being Motorized.

''The nation is fast becoming me-
torized. This is especially true in
the farming districts. with motor
cars. trucks. tractors. stationary en-
gines and electric lighting systems
all being run by gasoline.
There has been little or no change
in labor. while raw materials have
come down only slightly. This makes
it certain that there will be few, If
any. lower prices this season.
THE industry, which has always
been leader in welfare movements
for employees, is very much to the
front in that respect just now Motor
car plants generally stand, high in
their plans for the safety of employees
and for their general welfare in
the way of plans for the betterment
of their help, in many cases involving
cooperative savings and participa-
ton systems that are models for
modern business.
"rhe labor situation is easy. be
cause practically all those who left
to go into the service-the draft re-
ports show 104.000-are anxious to
return to their old work, while. of
course. hundreds of returned soldiers
who were in other lines are anxious
to enter the automobile trade, be-
cause of the experience gained with
motor equipment during the war"

OF the Order of Leopold and veteran
of four and half years continuous
war service, has arrived here on e

The new Hudson Super-Six is just such
car as you might expect.
Four years in development and $4,000
In service have resulted in finer, more de-
sirable Super-Six.
Many of the annoyances regarded as
inevitable to all cars have been eliminated.
- It starts easier, rides easier, and runs
smoother. All the qualities that distin-
gl1ish the Super-Six you know are retained
in many instances, enhanced.

the Hudson as its most famous fine car.
The men who designed it are for the
most part the same who have brought It to
its present high degree of perfection. They

AS an instance of how the hidden
charges against a transportation sys-
TEN escape the uninitiated operator.
the case of general truckman and
expressman in middle western city
may be mentioned. This man was ap-
preached by truck salesman and
laughed him to scorn. why. young
man. you admit it would cost me over
$40 day to keep your truck running.
These teams stand me less than S4
a day, including drivers pay. You
can't tell me anything about economy
on that basis"
The salesman proceeded to ask the
man what his stabling cost him. what
various items of fixed charges stood
him and in no single case had he
taken them into account. The stable
belonged to him. so he counted that
free. He paid heavy taxes on it and
excessively heavy insurance. He act
ed as his own foreman and forgot to
charge his services against the equip
ment. In spite OF the proof advanced
by the truck salesman. this individual
refused to be convinced

To the general public which has of
late years grown to look upon the
present as the motor era. the COM
parison of motor truck and horse
drawn vehicles may seem unneces-
sary, but in actual practice hundreds
of thousands of firms in all parts of
the country are balancing or attempt
ing to balance the two ends of this
proposition. The consideration of
whether it will be economical in the
end to do away with horse-drawn
equipment and replace it with motor
trucks is puzzling the business man.
agement of great many ambitious
concerns in America today.
Very few owners of horse traction
equipment know exactly what their
outfits cost them. There are many
items of cost and maintenance con-
nected with the transportation en-
ployment of horses that are never
dreamed of by the ordinary owner.
The practical teamster or eXpressman
and even the more important horse
user usually will charge off against
his equipment only feed, shOeing,
drivers wages and perhaps veterinary
fees. These are the capital charges,
but there are a number of others that
must be accounted for if anything
like accuracy in the accounting of
the transportation department is to be
had.

Trade Is Excellent.

Dealers in all parts of the country
are demanding cars for their trade
which, they say, is excellent for all
types. Particularly in the farming
districts are cars needed because OF
the hard service to which they are
put and the failure to obtain cars
last year. 1 visited twenty-seven
plants and found everywhere a
strong demand for passenger cars
and an increasing demand for trucks
Trade in trucks was very poor in
January and February, but with gen.
eral business reviving. new motor
truck lines being esta tablished-there
are now 1872 lines running in and
out of New York city-the months
of March and April have seen the
truck business extending toward
normal. Many of the makers are
still doing war work.
"A serious thing abobut the truck
business is the great influx of new
concerns. which seem to think the
truck business is an easy one in
stead of being one of the most diff
ficult in which to attain success.
Many of them are certain TO meet
with failure and buyers should De

Such High Development
Possible Only to Hudson

Without the experience gained with
$4,000 earlier cars, this new Super-Six
could not have been so perfected.
Four years ago the Super-Six checked
the trend to greater number Of cylinders
because it gave all the srnoothness sought
for without sacrificing the simplicity of the
six.
It increased motor power 729o without
added cylinders or weight.
Then it proved in hundreds of record
tests, an endurance surprising all previous
performances. It BECAME the largest sell
ing fine car.

Each year has seen the emphasis of
some new quality.
The greater range of power and perfor-
nance was no sooner established than it
became famous on every speedway, in

VALUE OF THE GOV

With the victory loan, the
last great popular subscription
issue of government securities,

War Savings Stamps as a con-

Secretary of the Treasury,
Glass in a statement urging the
cooperation Of bankers and
merchants in placing this OPP
portunity of investment before
the American people.
! Many persons, " said the
secretary, have not taken the
War Savings Stamps seriously
as an investment, but the fact
that they may be bought in as
large a quantity as 1000 face
value during 1919 lat such a
favorable interest return make
them most desirable for the
average man or family.
}AltnOugh the War Savings
Stamps sales this year do not
nearly approach the high mark
made under stimulation of war
need last year, their absorption
by the public thus far has been
satisfactory under existing cir
cumstances.
ct i customary for saving in
all channels to shrink during
the early months of the year,
and it expected that war saw
ings samp sales, along with the
postal saving and savings bank
deposits will grow steadily
throughout the year.
Cooperation is sought earnest
ly, especially from bankers and
merchants, in the matter of
keeping thrift and war saving
stamps on sale, so that no one
so inclined may fail to have
opportunity to invest his mon
ely wisely.
