Hudson is Best Known
For Its Super-Six Motor
Official Proofs Established Its Supremacy; Thus
Hudson Became the Largest Selling Fine Car

Few Of the 10000 Super-Six owners have
ever tried the limit of Hudson speed or power.
They realize they have vast reservoir of
ability that is never called on.
" Yet no one mistakes it for mere idle surplus
simply because it is beyond his ordinary
requirements.
For that latent capacity is Hudsor's greatest
value 1t is the life OF a car. Because of it,
thousands are now getting the fullest satisfac-
ton and service from Super Skies nearly five
years old. They know the durability it gives.
They know what it means in smooth operation.
Their cars have required neither costly replace
ments nor constant attention tominor disorders.
Moreover, it is good to know that you have
at instant call greater speed, acceleration and
hill-climbing ability than any other stock car
has ever shown.

their being riyalled seemed never more remote
than now. Certainly the type to do it has
not yet appeared
And mark this important fact Hudson,s
supremacy means no added complications,
weight or size. The patented Super Six
principle applied to standard type of motor
added 72@o to power Motor efficiency is
increased 800. Endurance thus has been
increased to limits yet unknown.

8O% More Efficient
Within 1919 of Perfect

Many have called the Super Six "the per-
feet motor" That, of course, is not accurate.
Perfection would mean utter freedom from
friction and vibration. No machine can ever
be that. But the Super-Six comes within
1910 OF it. Could another type approach
that close Hudson's records might be matched.
But for nearly five years they have stood
None has equalled them. The possibility of

Note These Tests Made
to ProUe Its Endurance

Think that a Super-Sx stock chassis set
the speed record at the rate of 1928 miles
per hour. A stock Super-Six holds the
acceleration record. And Hudson made the
fastest time for the famous Pixies Peak hill
climb. The Super-Six principle in speedway
racing won more points than any racing team
ever took, in single year. And think of
Hudson's double continental run of
1000 miles in 10 days Fl hours. No other
car ever equalled its time in either direction.
Those tests speak for Hudson endurance
the real reason for its appeal to you today.
There can be no question regarding its beauty,
its completeness, its fneness- advantages
patent to any observer.
You will best assure delivery when you
want it by speaking for your Hudson now.

To Cultivate Good Government.
wherever you have despotism you
are going to have revolution. If you

people in this country who believe
that when radicalism asserts itself
they should lay the hand of force
