many problems, serious ones, still to
be solved and many obstacles to be
overcome. Hard work and good judg-
ment are going 10 help solve these

'"The cars that are reaching US to-

The paving along the railway

They are now designed to fit the lines
of the car. They rarely if ever break.
They can be easily adjusted by hand
TO any position desired. 1t Is possible
to fold them back out of the way
when side curtains have to be put UP.
If properly put on and clamped down
they will not rattle, and they add tre-
mendously TO the appearance Of any
car.
Tonneau windshields are Just as
important TO the people in the back
seat as windshield wings are to the
driver. Whey they are opened up
they make an open car TO all intents

and yet there is plenty of ventilation.
Once you have driven behind wind
shield wings or tonneau windshields,
You will want them on your car just
as much as the people did the wind
shields when they first made their
appearance on cars nearly a genera
ton ago.
These shields are made 70 fit every

prices to suit any pocketbook.

Edward S. Jordan states that for
years people have been telling him
that the stock market always fore

about six months in advance.
II have never entirely accepted
that statement" he declares.
Now I believe 1t is so.
'The attendance at the New York
automobile show broke all previous
records.
"In the last few days people who
have been waiting for 1S months for

Certain companies will have a re-

"This is due to the fact that pro-

extent that the demand in the spring

corporations policy of building its
car from a service standpoint first,
and from an appearance standpoint
second. Yet, to every motor fan who
has kept pace with Hupmobile de-
sign, it would outrank in appearance
many So called beautiful cars" The
stuff that makes an automobile is in
a Hup, that's all there is to it, and
after all, that's what the public
wants. The thought that has been
uppermost in the minds of the MAX
ers of the HupmObile has been q con-
tinuous, satisfactory, economical
service from the car itself. This Of
course means that the car costs more
to build. Many of the Hupmobile
parts are Identical with those Of
much higher priced cars. and the
same is true of many materials used
in the Hup. This has borne out the
wiseness Of the Hup policy. 1t has
created q long list OF thousands Of
contented owners-owners who are
not trading their cars who think and
feel that they have bought a car
worth every cent they have paid for
it. Such is the reputation Of Hupmo-
bile.
The Hupmobile was formerly ham
died in Phoenix by George Reuben,
who sold the car under the distribut-
orship of California Before Reuben
secured the line it was sold by Bab-
bitt Brothers, but during the war the
Hupp corporation restricted its out
put and distribution facilities in
common with many other factories
and the Arizona territory was han
died through California. It was then
that George Reuben became associat-
ed with its sale. However, he was
never able to secure enough to meet
the demand.
The Smith Motor Sales company
has planned a wide distribution of
the Hupmobile line. This concern
has contracted for nearly half mil

BEL|EVEE END Of
LOW PRICES HAS
BEEN REACHED.
Ford Reduction Steadies
Entire Industry. Marks
Arrival off Price Level

DETROIT, Feb. -(Special)-
That the low-price level has been
reached at last in the automobile in
dustry is the belief Of many officials
OF the industry today. Further re-
ductions among manufacturers may
be looked upon as being those of a
few stragglers who, if they have
made a reduction, did not reduce
enough These reductions may have
been justified at the time they we're
made, but lower costs since then have
made possible further cuts which
have been promptly made by several
makers.
THAT the low price level when
reached means the start of real buy
ing on the part of the public IS a
foregone conclusion. Nothing keeps
the public upset more than struggling
price reductions and the quicker they
are over with the better That the
action of Ford in reducing when he
did and in the amount of the cut had
q Who'll some effect upon the buying
public Is evidenced by the step-up In
buying since the Ford reduction was
announced. The reduction showed
the buyer that further reductions Of
any consequence were highly improb-
able and that a cut OF from $40 10
$40 on a four or five hundred dollar
purchase did not constitute an in
ducement to the prospective pur-
chaser.
The effect Of the Ford policy has
been noticed on the entire industry.
1t has steadied many manufacturers
who felt that price declines were still
to come, and many of them are heav-
ing signs Of relief that the end OF
price sliding has at last arrived
Never before in the history of the
automobile industry has the public
been able to buy such quality for SO
little price. One can scan the list OF
manufacturers products now without
finding a single real exception to
this. Better design. better materials,
better car value all around, is the
rule today.
That the next revlsions Of price
will be upward is regarded as cer-
tain by manufacturers. Franklin is
leading off with price raise and
others viii be certain TO follow suit
In fact, II Is hard to see how some
factories are going TO maintain their
present low price in view Of the high
quality of their product
In the opinion OF officials connect
ed with the industry, nothing sensa-
tional in the way Of sales is expected
in 1922, but rather a good, steady
market with business volume adj
vancing as the season progresses.
Business today, as reported by p-ac-
tically every line. is better than one
year ago and the prospects OF healthy
business as viewed from the reports
Of distributors throughout the coun-
try is very encouraging.

complete stock OF parts is now on the
way that a complete and satisfactory
service may be available TO Hupmo-
bile purchasers. With q concern of
the strength Of the Smith Motor
Sales company acting as distributor
of the Hupmobile, this line is certain
TO become one Of the leaders in the

Together with c. w. Smith, the ia

Springfield, Mo, where they had
been engaged for many years in the
banking and grain business. Upon
arriving in Phoenix the city appealed
so strongly TO them that they decided
TO settle down and engage in bust
ness here. The property at Fifth
avenue and Adams street was pur-
chased and modern and beautiful

built costing in the neighhorhood OF

he also recently purchased the beau

indicate the permanence and sub

Sales company, and the Hupmobile

With wind deflectors now perma-
nent institutions on motor cars, con-
siderable improvements have been
made in the design, construction and
installation. They are no longer con-
sidered accessories, but have become
part OF the equipment of machines
owned by discriminating motorists.
When the windshield first made its
appearance on the market it was be-
lieyed to be novelty, The desire for
comfort was the original cause of
perfecting the windshield and the
same desire was the reason why the
Windshield wings have met with such
popular approval. For when a car
travels at the rate Of 35 to 40 miles
an hour the wind sweeps around the
windshield, making it most unpleas-
ant for the driver, to say nothing OF
the discomfort it causes the passen-
gers IN the tonneau
On their first appearance wind

The motor is clean cut. simple and
accessible, and can sustain it's max
imum power over wide range of
speeds.
The crankshaft is extra heavy and
rigid, operating in phosphor- bronze
bearings with special high-speed
babbitt lining. The bearings are ex-
ceptionally large for a motor OF this
size.
One of the features Of the Hup-
mobile. and one 1t has always had is
a reserve gasoline tank of two gall
Ions, located in the main tank at the
rear OF the car. After warning has
been given Of a diminished gasoline
supply, this reserve is available by
turning a valve on the tank. Cooling

The clutch is dry disc of seven plates

necessary in the car. The Hupmo-

What constitutes the best news
announced for a long time is that
the popular Hupmobile is return
ing to Arizona. A direct factory
contract has been secured by the
Smith Motor Sales company and
plans are being laid to give the
Hupmobile a wide distribution in
the state of Arizona. Several of
the new 1922 Hupmobiles will ar
rive in Phoenix this week. ac-
cording to all expectations.
The re- entry into Phoenix and Ari-
zona of the popular Hupmobile after
long months of absence. marks the
end of negotiations covering several
weeks during which several local
individuals and concerns have been
making strenuous efforts to secure
the state distribution of this we'll
known automobile. The successful
concern now turns out to be the
Smith Motor Sales company, distrib-
utors of Packard and REQ automo-
biles and trucks. The announcement
is officially made in this issue Of
The Republican.
That the Hupmobile line is one OF
the most eagerly sought automobile
franchises on the American market
is the united opinion of the rank and
file Of automobile men. a wonderful
reputation for building genuine value
into it's motor cars is enjoyed by the
Hupp Motor Car corporation. This
great manufacturing institution is
one OF the strongest financially in the
industry. It's policy of conservative
business building has drawn to it
many of the real leaders in the in

from a modest beginning many years
