HUPP PRESIDENT
FORECASTS YEAR

c D. Hastings, president Of the
Hupp Motor corporation. was recently
asked to comment briefly on the
future Of the automobile industry dur
ing 1920. In replying. Mr.. Hastings
The year 1920 IS hard TO predict
1t contains possibilities which the pub
lie is some ways doas not realize. and
which make prophecy difficult We,
as well as other manufacturers. an
ticipate a banner year, yet feel that
provision should be made for uneN-
pected ppeniugs-more so than IN
past seasons.
Intelligent preparation means

asked to keynote in a few words the
general attitude Of the Industry, I
should say it is put your house in
good order This means a careful
scrutiny and examination OF present
organizations. and greater teamwork
than ever before It means not more,
but better, dealers, and closer coopera-
ton with them and their problems

conference.

loyalty among the factory workmen

and body. And that vas decidedly a
not beautiful effect
Curves Plentiful.
To get away from this awkward
combination OF lines, car makers in
serted, at the junction OF bonnet and
glass 'front.' various makeshifts-
I bumps. humps and Whatnot, curves,
convex and concave, but without ac-
oomplishing much that could be
called beautiful
Along about the same time bodies
were lowered and seats ceased to be

in, not on. their cars. Then came an
era OF stream lines" and some bold
spirits even built bodies resembling
small craft picked out Of the water
ana set on four wheels It was plain
TO be seen that makers were reach
ing out for some sort Of effect. But
just what effect they themselves
seemed not to know-eXcept that il
should be beautiful
Beautiful=what is beautfful2 Who
knows2 Who has defined beauty?
Well perhaps beauty has never
been defined. But there are men
who have some real knowledge OF
art, and no doubt exists in their
minds that TO be beautiful a thing.
whatever Il IS, must have unity. its
elements must harmonic, it must
be one complete whole. not two OF
more parts just forced together.
Has Distinct Entity.
And that was the point OF view
that gave to motor car makers their
first real idea leading up to the posi-
tive work in creating beautiful cars.
II daWned upon them then that
merely curing bad angles and worse
curves was not enough. It dawned
on them, TOO, that they should not
build horse drawn equipages modi-
fled. Neither was Il a water craft
or an aircraft put on land that an
automobile should be.
Rather, a motor car is a distinct
entity, a thing in a class by itself,
with needs and possibilities all its
own. And to be beautiful It cannot
be an engine in front and a passen-
ger body behind. It must have unity
And because motor car makers
have come to that realization within
the year more than ever before, we
see at the shows this winter various
exhibits Of cars that IN their unity
OF outline satisfy the first and great
est requirements OF beauty.
Upon this foundation OF unity car
designers will be able 10 make much
greater and more rapid positive
progress steward realizing their pre-
Viously impossible hopes OF charming
effects than would ever be possible
by merely erasing here and there an
ugly angle or a distressing curve.

CAR BEAUTIFUL GRADUAL CREATION
Of MANY YEARS Of EXPERIMENTING

u times past when a motor car
maker occasionally eliminated
from his body lines an awkward
angle or a 1ussy curve, his car was
Judged TO be more beautiful than
before. And, Of course. Il did become
by this cleaning up process more
agreeable 10 the eye, ana therefore
more beautiful.
But there Is a positive. in beauty
as well as a negative, and the mere
elimination OF 5arring lines never ac-
comulishes as much toward produc-
Ing artistically beautiful cars as can
be accomplished when the maker
Eets the right point OF view
