These Tests Helped Build
the Present Hudson

And remember, it was chiefly
through endurance, made possible by
its exclusive motor, that Hudson won
these victories, Such tests impose
strain that could be equaled, in ordl-
nary driving, only by years Of hard use.
These records are three, four and
five Years old. Yet they have never
been matched. And the Hudson Of to-
day is a better car because Of what
they taught
But not the slightest change has
been made in the Super-Sfx motor
principle For no way has been found
to improve it.
And because it has found no rival III
performance Hudson's sales leadership
among all fine cars has been unbroken.
Hudson production has always been
under the demand, This year shows a
repetition Of the shortage, So to get
Hudson at all this summer calls for
early decision.
