Sales For First Four Months
Exceed 1922 Record By

Capacity operations since January

cars for the first four months of 1923
as for the entire first six months of
made by Charles ID. Hastings, presi-
dent and general manager.
Hupp shipments for April were
1887 cars and shipments for the first
four months 1851, compared with
shipments of 10.205 for the same
month a year ago, an increase of 63
per cent over the record period of
1922. BY the end of May, more than
half of Hupp's scheduled 1928 out
put of 10000 cars will have been
made.
Reports from distributors and
dealers from all parts of the country
show that sales of Hupmobiles by

wide margin. The cars are being
sold as rapidly as they can be de-
livered by the Hupp factory. Many
distributors and dealers have al

two or three times what their con-
tracts call for if they could secure
the cars.

Driveways to many of the nearby
centers of distribution continue to

The 1923 series of the Overland

Rear tires, because of tractive and
brake strain, wear more rapidly than
front ones. The right rear tire is
subjected to more strain than the left
because of the ring drive, and be-
cause it Is lower on the crowd of the
road, if not in the rough at the side,
as other cars are passed. Careful
drivers change back tires FOR front,
and frequently right tires for left.
Thus the mileage of the tire is in
creased

The muffled "cutout" of an auto
mobile is a valve opening into the
outside air from the exhaust pipe,
which permits the exhaust gases to
escape directly into the air without
passing through the muffler. The
muffler is a device for suppressing
the noise made by the escape of ex-
haust gases from an internal COM
bustion motor.

Tires frequently do not blow out at
the time they are injured. Often they
run for several hundred or Nxen for
thousand miles after being Serious
ly bruised. The cotton fibres in the
ruptured carcass snap gradually, one
by one. This breaking continues to
weaken the tire until the final result
is a blowout.

COLE DIVIDEND
Five Dollars Per Share To AL
Stockholders


At directors meeting of the Cole
Motor Car Company held just pre-
vious to May | it was voted to de-
clare cash dividend of IS per share
to all stockholders of record on that
date. This is the second dividend
that has been declared during the
past six months.
On December Is, 1922, 100 per
cent stock dividend was declared to
all stock holders of record on that
date and the cash dividend applies
to the total capitalization includ-
ing the additional stock issued at
that time.
During the past five years the
aggregate dividends declared have
never been less than % per cent per
annum and not once since the incep-
ton of the Cole Motor Company have
they failed to take the discount on
every material invoice presented.
During these hectic times in the
automotive industry this is a record
of which any concern might be very
proud.
At the time Mr.. Cole announced
this cash dividend he gave some very
interesting pointers concerning the
operation of the Cole Motor Car
company. I'VE have never had the
feeling" he said, that we wanted to
try to take on all the automotive
manufacturing business In. the
United States. In other words. we
have never fought competition. We

When There Is Water in the "Gas"

Water in gasoline can be deter
mined by the irregular misfiring OF
the engine. If much is present, 1t
causes 1t to stop and make starting
difficult. If water is suspected, the
drain cock at the bottom of the car
buretor should be opened and the
contents of the float chamber should
be drawn off into tumbler. Water
and gasoline do not mix any more
| than do oil and water, and if the
latter is present it can be readily
seen. The line of separation between
the gasoline and water is perfectly
distinct. Liquid should be drawn un-
til it comes free of water.
