\ ton Of the Hudson Motor Car Com
pany. In July there was celebrated

IN the fourteen years has taken
place one Of those notable growths
(which have thrown such a roman
tic atmosphere, around the autono-
bile industry.
From Small Factory.
"A small factory has grown into =
Isplant Of the most modern type; q
selling organization has been built
which reaches around the world

HudSon's first years. O9--was
regarded as remarkable success.
The 500 employees produced cars at
about the rate of 1000 q year.
Today there are nine times az
many employed and, aided by won
<derfully efficient machinery, they
produce fifty times as many cars.
Through its history the concern
has been controlled and operated
by the same group which founded
1t. The men who own q majority
of its stock may be found daily at
their task under its roof
As q further assurance of Imam
lrial and business independence the

and equipment are owned without
q cent OF debt.
OF the 800 900 automobiles which
the Hudson Motor Car Company
has produced, approximately. two
thirds have been Hudson and ono
third Essex.

1918 by interests Intimately affili-
ated with the Hudson Motor Car
Company, and III 1922 is was for
mally merged into the older con

Seven years ago the announce
ment Of the first Hudson Super-Six
marked the turning point in atttOnlo-
bile design. The principal was es-
tablished that additional power and
smoothness were to be obtained
not by increasing engine size or by
adding complications, but by the
elimination Of destructive vibration
and internal friction.
Refined Improvement.
The year 1929 witnessed a new
sEper-six. Once again, this Inn
proved new motor was based on re-
finements which made the engine
more efficient internally. It was
quieter. more economical. better
balanced. Even Hudson enthusi-
asts of previous years found In st

Torrance. In this car the Hudson
Organization believes that 1t has
reached the highest point OF motor
efficiency. But there ID no sugges-
ticn Of curtaiIlng the unceasing
search of its designers and engi-
neers for still further, practical adj
vancements.
One of the strongest and most
aggressive selling organizations In
the motor industry lipholds Hudson
and Essex standards in the field.
Both in merchandising ability AMI
in service, these men have forged
their way forward to business
leadership.

represented by men OF known abiI-
ity and resources.
Greatest Year is Goal.
The greatest year in Hudson aud
Essex history will be 1923. This Is
the goal set for itself by the Hud-
son Essex organization. Even the
achievements Of 1922 are to be
greatly surpassed
Distributors and dealers are com.
mitted to the success OF this pro-
gram. On its part the factory is
hending every effort to supply
enough cars so that men In the
Held need lose no sales because
OF inability to deliver promptly.
Hudson's growth in size has na.-
