HUPP CORPORATION
HAS TOTAL ASSETS
OF $l9,079,55I.78
Annual Report Indicates
Strong Financial
Condition.

sThe year 1922 was the most sue.
cessfuI the Hupp Motor Car Corpora
ton and its subsidiaries ever had,
both from the standpoint of volume
and profits" declares Charles ID.
Hastings, president and general mana
ger, in the corporations annual re-
port, copies of which have just been
received by Tom Larry of the Burton
Larry Motor company, local Hupmo'
bile distributors.
Total assets as of December 81.
1922, are given as S19,0I9, BOLTS, of
which SS3S,373.33 is cash and United
States certificates. Sight drafts for
cars in transit and parts protected
by dealers deposits are listed at
S964.171.19 and inventories at $6,-
u.s., 050.95. Plant assets are set down
at $S,1S7, 1920, less S1,607 ,501.54 for
On December 81, 1922, the corpora
ton carried forward the largest sur
plus in its history, SS,091, 1850, a re-
serve strength that probably is not
surpassed by any other autopobile
company, in proportion to its assets
and liabilities, according to President
Hastings.
$50 strong is the corporation finan-
cially," continues President Hastings,
"that its surplus fund is considerably
larger than all its preferred and COM
mon stock and that of its subsidiaries
This stock outstanding
totals S5,S69,900, of which So, 1872
100 is of Hupp common and surplus
of the Detroit Auto Specialties cor
poration, one of its subsidiaries. Hupp
owns S6.5 per cent of the stock of this
concern, and the entire stock of the
Gear and Manufacturing
company, of Jackson, Mich, and the
II. and NJ. Body corporation of Ra-
cine, Wis. These three subsidiaries
devote their entire capacity to Hup
mobile production.
"We sold during the year 34,1SI
an i2lrease Of 7S per
cent over our previous biggest year. !"
which was 1920. export sales
showed a satisfactory revival and the
outlook indicates constant increase.
"With the increase in space and
Equipment at the home plant, our
processes are now more
under our control than ever before"
Sales of Hupmobiles by the corpora
ton for the first two months of 1923
were more than double the sales for
any previous January and February,
it is said.

the best prior record by 30 minutes.
Only thirteen gallons of gasoline
were consumed. Mr.. Stevenson said.
while practically no oil was used.
Moreover. not a single drop of water

SAYS CORD TIRES
MOST SATISFACTORY
In THE LONG RUN
But Good Fabric Tires
Much Better Than
Cheap Cords.

"A high quality fabric tire gives
much better service as a rule than
cheap cord tire" says Il. S. Tatum,
manager of the tire and accessory
department of the Guarantee Motor
Car Company.
Motorists thinking that they are
able to buy cord tires at most any
Kind of price and secure the service
that high quality cord castings give, arc
laboring under a false impression
gained by the tremendous service rem
dered by cord tires. 1t is not neces-
sarily so that cord castings will give
more mileage. 1t has been proven by
actual experience that a cheap cord
casing is not near so good as a good
fabric.
"In the early days of cord castings.
motorists were suspicious of them and
continled the use of fabric tires.
hut as the cord principle of constru-
ton was right, they have proven them
selves worthy of the price and time il
took to oevelop them.
Cord castings gave unusually large
mileage which was cue TO various
reasons, chiefly the o,-rs'ye. stronger
carcass or foundation, the ability to
withstand read shocks thereby insur-
ing the consumer all the mileage
which was built into them by the
manufacturer. Another reason that
the consumer experiences less trouble
with cord tires is their ability to run
at lower air pressure than the fab
RIGS.
"The Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company are among the pioneer cord
manufacturers and adopted a type
of cords which were different from
any other at that time but stands out
today as proof positive of it being
the proper method as nearly all manu-
facturers are now using the same
method of cord construction.

PROBLEMS OF MOTOR
INDUSTRY SOLVED AT
DAYTON LABORATORY
Valuable Research Work
Carried on by G. M.
Division.

Besides the engineering departments
of the individual manufacturing divi-
sions Of General Motors and the cen
trail laboratory in Detroit. where pro-
duction problems are studier, the cor
poration maintains at Dayton, Ohio,
the General Motors Research Corpor-
ation-a consolidation of several in
terests of General Motors which for
some years has been conducting ~
search work.
The research corporation plant IS
1000 feet ,ong, and its roofs cover
an area of more than six acres Tie
tract of land devoted TO its activi-
ties contains 81 acres and is situated
out in the country, about six miles
from town. Here are exceptional ia
cilities for studious investigation and
systematic experimentation by n body
of trained technicians, beyond any
thing that it is possible for even the
individual manufacturing divisions OF
General Motors to conduct Indeperd-
cnt research and study of the prob
lens of the automOtive industry are
possible here, free from the routine
Of manufacturing. The maintenance
Of the big laboratories are the respon-
siblity of General Motors Corpora-
ton, but the results obtained are a
potential asset to all Of its divisions.
\ major field of inquiry at Dayton
is that of combustion. AutomobiFe
engines under present conditions are
utilizing but 10 Is per cent of the
energy Of gasoline. When gasoline
and air are now taken into the cyIin-
der and compressed. just before the
explosion the pressure inside the cylin-
der is low-about so pounds to the
square inch. If this pressure could
be doubled. a corresponding gain in
power would result, with no increase
in gasoline consumption. t'even the
present low compression, there il n
tendency under certain conditions. on
the part of the engine to detonate or
knock" This decreases the power
and makes high compression engines
less efficient than 10 compression
engines.
The research corporation las now
developed chemical compound which
when mixed with the gasoline used
rs fuel. does. away with "knocking-
and permits the use of commercial.
grades of gasoline in high comprcs-
sion engines. This opens an attractive

Brakes should not be too loose; looss
brakes do not act quickly enough. DIFF,
ferent adjustments are made for diff
ferent types of brakes.
After the brakes are adjusted SC
they are neither too tight nor toe
loose, they should be tested every
1000 miles, or at least once a month
TO make sure that the brakng power
is equally divided between the two
rear wheels. Many cars skid, not only
because of slippery streets, but also
because Vi unequal division of brak-
ing power. Jack up rear wheels and
apply brake far enough so that il is
just possible to turn one wheel b.
hand. Adjust brake on other wheel
so the same amount of energy is re-
quired TO turn that wheel by hand.
"On the Road"
: When coming to a stop on straight
away. shut off the gasoline throttle
and leave the clutch engaged until
just before coming TO a stop; this
method of stopping is especially adj
visable in wet weather because it les
sens the tendency of the ear to skid.
Ii also helps to distribute the brak-
ing power equally and assists the ac.
ton of the brakes. Do not shut off
the ignition until after you have
stopped it may be necessary TO make
Quick start. Find out the idling
speed maintained by your car when
the gasoline throttle is closed. then
never Except in emergency cases) try
TO use your brakes when the clutch
is engaged and the ear is travelling
slower than the idling speed.
In going down an ordinary hill.
leave the clutch engaged and close the
gasoline throttle. This helps cool the
engine and also makes il unnecessary
brarcS~=It sometimes
desirable to turn off the ignition
switch: this further cools the engine
and adds to the braking power.
In going down steep hills or when
descending ordinary hills with heavy
load. put the gears in intermediate or
low speed at the top throttle and. if
ueSlrdDle. TURN OH Tue lEnlllOH SWITCH.
In ordinary driving do not use the
brakes oftener than necessary: regu-
late the speed of the car as much as
possible by use of the throttle. II the
car is equipned with n foot throttle
use it in preference to the hand throt-
tie. This leaves the hands free TO
operate the gear. and the steering
wheel.
In making an emergency stop. leave
the clutch engaged, apply the foot
brake and null the hand brake; bit
do not clock the wheels" Keen the
wheels rolling: otherwise there is dan
ger that the car might slide or skid.

PENKNIFE USED
TO SAVE LIFE
Man Choking to Death Is Re-
Iieved by the Quick Action
of Hospital Surgeon.

New Orleans.--A taxieab stopped be
fore the doors Of the Hotel Dleu (hos
pital). A young man carried an Older
man up the steps Of the building In his
arms.
"Quickl" the young man shouted
He's choking to DEATH"
A nurse ran into the hall.
"Put him down there" she said, In.
dlcating a small room Just inside the
door. Hes dying. It's only a matter
Of seconds"
DR.. Joseph Danna, noted New Or
leans surgeon, wearing his hat and
coat, had just finished his work at the
hospital and was leaving at that mo-
ment. AS he passed near by the young
man recognized him.
Doctor Ready to Help.
"Oh. doctor. can't you helpY'
Certainly" the doctor replied.
Without a moments hesitation
there was no time to send for instru-
ments on the floor above-the surgeon
pulled his penknlfe from his pocket
and slit the throat Of the dying man.
The nurse came running back with q
tube, which the doctor inserted in the
mans throat, and held the side Of the
iDcislon together with blOOd-stalned fin
gers. Slowly color returned to the
cheeks and the pulse began to beat
freely.
Doctor Danna turned to the son, who
had watched the unusual operation,
and said, He'll live"
After the organs began to function
normally the tube was removed and
the inclslOn stitched.
Merchant Is Sufferer.
The operation had taken less than
one minute; longer probably would
have meant death, the surgeon as
serted. It was performed on R. Rou-
gelot. q New Orleans dry goods mer-
chant,

gulatiOn earlier In the day. Simple
remedies had no effect, and he was put
into an automobile By his aOn and
rushed to the hospital. He became
suddenly worse and before the insti-
tuition was reached he had ceased to
breathe and his pulse had stopped, the
son said.
Similar operations upon the throat,
known a. tracheOtomy. have been per
formed many times BY Doctor Danna,
but this was his flrst with q pocket

tral states, both east and west bound.
during the arst i've months Of this year
than during the corresponding months
OF last year, according to statistics
compiled by the Chicago Automobile

During the first FIVE months In 1923,
17,443 motorists registered at the Chi.
cago club. as compared with 10, 1853 dur
ing the first FIVE months of 1922.
The answers to the call of the road
began in January, when 1880 tourists
registered. This was 90 per cent more
than In 1922 when 1908 tourists
stopped at the club during January.
The travel continued heavy during Feb
ruary, when 1.276 registered as com
pared with 1000 during February, 1922
The March figures were: 2.023 in 1923
and 1884 in 1922. In April 3,916 reg

UNION LABEL VERY IMPORTANT
FACTOR In ORGANIZATION

which blow naturally reacts against
the buyer and all union workers.
American workers depend upon eco
nOmic. rather than political means,
to advance their cause. The strike
is an economic weapon. It's use is well
understood and ample proof has been
offered OF the workers answering
loyalty in collective bargaining. When
understanding of the Union Labels
importance reaches into all trades, the
consumers power will compare favor
ably with the producers power in the
struggle for industrial Justice.
The rich and militant open shop
crowd is wide open" to receive a
blow in this quarter. Widespread sup
port of the label and the label prin-
ciple by union members would send
the forces Of greed scurrylng for
cover.
Cooperation between union men,
bers in general and such organiza-
tions as the building trades bodies
would mean improved housing condi-
tions-as required by law In most
cities but flagrantly neglected-and
would mean more work for honest
craftsmen, besides exercising a very
discouraging influence on the "open
shoppers" Indeed, there is no limit
to the possibilities of Label League
cooperation.
The union workman is no CRATER
II he was not honest by nature he
would not be toiling for an honest
living. 1t is a well established truth
that union workmanship means hon.
est value. Further, it is perfectly rea-
sonable to believe that the eventual
acceptance of the "closed shop" by
employers will mean .fairer values to
consumers Of all products. The pub
lie generally will come to learn that
the Union Label serves as a check on
! graft, when union members, them
selves. prove their faith in the Label

(Typooraphlcal Union servIce.l

Typographical Union servlce.)
Like a giant searchlight the Union
Label shines to guide the cropping con-
sumer in his quest for sound products.
The buyer nearly always works in the
dark. He must depend on the repu-
tation of the seller for assurance that
the merchandise he gets viii be good.
The guarantee of no manufacturer or
merchant quite equals the Union La
bel as surety of sound value.
Union workmanship is always de-
pendable. Furthermore products of
union shops are always made under
healthful conditions and will not car
ry infections. The best of materials,
fashioned into articles by non-union,
child or convict labor, may well lose
their worth as a result of inferior
workmanship.
Those are reasons why all con-
sumers, within and without the ranks
of laborsashould insist upon the Union
Label.
For union men there are many rea-
goods. 1t has been repeatedly de-
clared by wise union leaders and by
disinterested economists that the bat
tie Of labor will be won the day all
staunch unionists and their wives
come to realize their duty to buy only
union-made goods and service: The
label affords a method for organic
ing labor in two-fold way-first as
producers and second as consumers
Labor is the most important consum-
/ ing class in the country. The label
and better wages go hand in hand
The demand for union1made goods il
dependent upon the wages paid in
other trades. Owners of union shops
therefore, can soon be made to see
the economic soundness of the living
wage principle.
Every time a union member buys
