arms filed with a score Of bundles ell
of the same size.
Peering over the top Of the ambus

Mr.. Beard. The national scout COM
missioner Of the 100000 and more Boy
Scouts of America knew the signs wen
enough TO realize that something was
passing through the boys mind. He
asked the lad what he was thinking
about.
The boy replied: II was just
thlnkin' that you look like friend
o. mine"
"What's your friends namei" asked
the man who Is the friend Of all
boys.
"Dan Beard" said the messenger.
II am Dan Beard" replied the com.
missioner with a smile.
GOSH was the only reply Of the
astonished boy, who dumped his bun
dies under the feet Of the amused pas
sengers and brought his right hand
up to stiff salute.

called By his name. This bluff be-
came quite an important Shipping

merchants settled there and brought
out larger stocks of goods than any

bernacle (Methodist) church, situated
near by on the Alabama line, was also

Almost Doubles Efficiency

Increases Efficiency by 500. is EXCLUSIVE to Hudson

The Hudson Super-Sx has proved
master of all stock cars in speed, power,
endurance.
Will you accept lesser car?
Disregard mere claims. What are
the facts?
The Hudson made the fastest stock
car mile at the rate of l02 miles per
hour. One car in various official tests
ran $500 miles, averaging 80 miles an
hour. 1t won the Pixies Peak contest,
the worlds classic hill-climb test. In
continuous journey it crossed and re-
crossed the continent, a distance of
1000 miles in 10 days, Q hours,
feat never performed by another car.
BY sheer endurance it time after
time defeated the worlds fastest racing
cars, in championship speedway races.

For FiUe Years Ii Hos
Led Them All

1t is one of the reasons that $4,000
owners know the Hudson above all as
an endurance car.
Because of what it has shown, not
only in official tests, but in the service
of all these owners, the Hudson Super
Six has for nearly five years been the
largest selling fine car in the world.
The supply has never been sufficient
for the demand. That often means
waiting for certain wanted models.
You will avoid disappointment, by
placing your Hudson order, we'll ahead
of the desired delivery date.
The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1920-01-07

Thus it is the most powerful for It's
size in the world. 1t is the swiftest, the
most enduring, quickest in accelera-
ton, the most dependable hill-cliInber.
It's proofs are in official tests where all
mayverify them. fany disputes Hudson
supremacy, it is not in official tests.
True you do not need such great speed
as Hudson's. You may never meet
an obstacle to test its power limits.
But they mean in ordinary driving
you run the Super-Six at half load. In
performance at which lesser cars strain,
with permanent bad results to the
mechanism, the Hudson is easily within
its reserve of speed and power.
