fifteen years.

eight autos, one horse and wagon

pulled across the street. hesitated,
and stopped. Then it got under
way and slowly pulled on. Mean
while traffic piled up.
Motorists shut off their engines
and sat in silence as the second
freight, headed East, pulled onto
the crossing just before the end of
the first train went by.

SPECULATION AS 1
 TO HUPP EIGHT
Called Distinct Departure In Engineering
 Principles

Renewed speculation over the widely discussed new Hupmobile Eight, first aroused last summer following the Hupp Motor Car corporations announcement that it would add an eight cylinder car to it's long successful four-cylinder line, has now been accentuated by further announcement as to what place the new eight is designed to fill in the automotive market.
 Beyond stating the fundamental req sons for adding the eight to the pres ent Hupmobile line, no information, such as that pertaining to it's general design, size, price or date of first dis play, has yet been given out.
 Tt is our serious contention" the an nouncement reads, Ito invite comparison between the performance of the new Hupmobile Eight and all other eight cylinder cars. Hupmobile has designed and built this car because of a deep conviction that the advantages of the eight have been needlessly denied the average American family. In that re- spect the car is a distinct departure in eight-cylinder engineering widen ing of the usefulness of an eight which removes it from the realms of indul- gence and makes it practical, economi- principle in power and smoothness are cal family motor car.

HUDSON COACHES
 LESS THAN OPEN
Prices Of Closed Car Re- duced Below
 TOurings

Coach prices are definitely fixed at less than those of open cars in the re- duction on all enclosed cars announced by the Hudson Motor Car company.
 The stage for this move was set months ago when the Hudson coach was offered at exactly the same cost as the Hudson open cars. This move was con sidered a sensation in the industry. The proportion of enclosed cars in the Hud- son business, already high, reach new marks.
 As the volume of coach business in creased further, reduction was pos sible which brought the Hudson coach actually below the open cars in cost. Now has come the move which brings the price of both Hudson and Essex cars below those of open ones, and far below any previous standard of en- closed car prices in the automobile in- dustry.
 'This surprising and even astound- ing price move," said A. R. Pryor, Hud- son-Essex distributor, 'bears out the prediction that enclosed cars are to be the standard style and that touring cars are luxuries. Naturally the coach and the coach buyer are entitled to the volume price.
 II have known of many price changes in the industry but none which caused more genuine surprise than this one. It dropped like bomb along automo- bile row. It is a matter of fact that Hudson-Essex sales are at the very height of activity, and that the factory has enjoyed successively the largest September, October and November it has ever known. Price cuts are usually made to stimulate business but this was a business that needed no stimulation. It is simply along the line of giving Hudson and Essex buyers every possi- ble economy due to the fast-increasing volume of business.
 "There was sharp and immediate response in our business. The public came right in ready to buy. We are in constant touch with the factory, and hope to continue in our ability to make prompt deliveries.
 Fully as sensational as the drop in coach prices was the $350 reduction on the Hudson sedans. Here again Hud- son is offering enclosed cars at price which never yet has been seriously rivalled in the industry"

That tire prices are certain to ad- vance in the near future is the opinion of Clarke Jones of Drennen Motor Car company, distributors of Firestone tires. Crude rubber has had sensational advance in price within the past few days and this advance is certain to be reflected in similar mark up in tire prices in the near future. My advice to car owners is toJ anticipate require ments and place orders for tires now. Of course we'd like to sell them Fire stone tires, but this advice goes for tires of any make," said Mir.

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR MOTOR CAR Suggestions Concerning
 Proper Care Of Car In Winter

s1The average car owner IS seldom III nosition to know just what must be done to his car in the winter to ap- proach as nearly as possible conditions as they exist in warm weather.

 Anti.Freeze Solution
 Before any anti-freeze solution IS used' the water circulating system should De inspected for leaks, and repalrs made' if necessary. It is usually good plan to replace hose connections at this time of the year. Do not use antl-treeZe preparations containing calcium chloride or other similar compounds, as they corrode the inside of the radiator.
 The only satisfactory solution Of which we know is alcohol and water Denatured alcohol is preferred, but wood alcohol can be used Wood alcohol often contains free acetic acid and should never be used unless it is known to be free from acid. If acid IS present. damage to the radiator will result.
