With a correct swing a ball can
be hit any place along a two-foot
line. The circumference described
by the head of a club on a driving
swing is very large one. Con-
seauently the distance from the club
head to the ground is almost the
same along the two feet of its travel

Planned for 1923, 1t Has
Been Officially An

Sales of Hupmobiles for eight of
the IL different months of 1922 were
greater than the highest previous
monthly sales record of any other
year in the IA years of the Hupp
Motor Car corporations history, ac-
cording to an announcement made
last week by o. C. Hutchinson, gem
eral sales manager.
The total number of Hupmobiles
sold in March, 1920. hitherto the
greatest sales month. was exceeded
in every month in 1922, except jan
uary, February. November and De-
cember. Had plant facilities permit
ted their manufacture, it is certain
that several thousand more cars
could have been sold
Hupmobile sales this year will to-
tai about $4,000 cars. Domestic sales
will be more than double those of
1920. The previous largest year. De-
spite this selling record. Mr.. Hutchin-
son states that Hupmobile distribu-
tors and dealers have an unusually
small number of cars on hand today.
1t is officially stated that the out
put planned for 1923 will consider
ably exceed that of 1922 and that de-
spite engagements to its plant in De-
troit, now nearing completion, the
Hupp corporation will be forced TO

pected sharp buying demand next
spring.
1T was our original intention" de-
clares Mr.. Hutchinson, ito produce
and sell 10000 cars in 1922. which
would have doubled our domestic

R A D |C Al PRICE.
CHANGE ON COLE 8
Enlarged Production Program
Results in Big Decline
in Prices

Out of Indianapolis comes an an
nouncement which marks decided
change in the price policy of fine
car manufacture. 1t is human ma
ture to desire constantly finer
things, and any step which brings
better automobiles into the moder-
ate price range is sufficiently i'm
portant to make headline news for
prospective car purchasers.
The Cole Motor Car company OF
indianapolis presents its standard
touring model at s1,SS5. ]. j. Cole.
president of the company, made the
following statement which puts clear
light on the Cole program:
For some time we have been con-
cerned here at Indianapolis, in a
project to make the fine, high pow
cred, thoroughly adequate and beau
tiful Cole Aero Eight available to
eevry man of moderate purchasing
power. We faced the problem OF
maintaining the high standard of ex-
cenence the public expects from a
Cole, and at the same time making
II possible to sell the touring model
under $4,000.
Briefly, we have succeeded bet
ter than our expectations. We have
brought the price down to 1885, and
have justified this figure by sue
cessfully cutting production costs to
warrant it.
"Our engineers have devoted the
better part of two years to produe-
ton studies which have made radi-
cal changes in shop practice. NO
method and no machine was regard
ed as efficient If there was method
or a machine which could be in
stalled to produce the same fine re-
suit at a lower cost.
"Yet the mechanical excellence
and the beauty had to be retained TO
the mnutest degree. 1t was
problem worthy of the most astute
mechanical minds.
IT regard it as the outstanding
achievement in the career OF the
Cole company that we have succeed
ed in mastering every phase OF our
problem. Now we can offer the Cole
to a far wider clientele--the first
time in the history of automobile
manufacture that so fine car can
be bought under $4,000.
Equally drastic reductions have
been made on the roadster and the
enclosed models. The Cole Coupe
for instance, is now S2,oS5, and the
Sedan 2,6S5-revolutionar prices
for cars of highest quality.
1T will be interesting to motor
lists of finer appropriations to com
mare the Cole with all other fine
cars at the show. The result Will
be a vivid revelation as to just what
has been accomplished by the Cole
engineers"

Ken V. Goodson, in telling of his
he made the distance of $40 miles in
q little over seven hours. said that
the previous record for surface trans
portation was 10 hours and 26 min
utes. MIR. Goodson made the trip 2
hours and 40 minutes quicker than

tive on the run from Atlanta TO

distance been covered in shorter
length of time.

model, Jordan Blue Boy" equipped

the top was removed from the car.
The car was selected by him, and the
run was made under the auspices of
the Atlanta Motor club and the Jack
sonville Motor club, for the purpose
of establishing the fastest route for
motorists, and not in the interest OF
any car, highway or town This
route Is called the Central Dixie high
way.
Were you familiar with, the
roGte?' Mr.. Goodson was asked.
Il was acquainted with it, but to
go over road slow and then fast
is entirely different. You miss your

think there's bridge at the foot of

that way, but when you get to the
foot, there isn't bridge.
