500 Greater Sales
On HudS0n-Essex

"In the first six months of 1925,
$4,000 Hudson and Essex cars have
been sold" said F. S. Carpenter,
dealer. This exceeds last years
total for the same period by more
than 80%. 1t Is all the more signifi-
can't because in general the large
manufacturers of cars in this field
have shown no gain or have not
-equalled their 1924 production for
this period.
Hudson and Essex sales have not
only surpassed every 6-cylinder car
In the world, but every month
witnesses a new high selling mark
in Hudson Essex own records. Their
conspicuous and increasing success
reflects the rapidity and complete
ness with which the real facts re-
garding automobile values have
penetrated the entire, market.
Our sales here in Augusta, as
large as they have been, would have
been even greater had we been able
to secure all the Hudson Essex cars
buyers wanted. And this is typical
throughout the country.
'TheNsteady increase of factory
production means that more cars
will be available during the latter
half of the year, and we shall un-
doubtedly exceed our remarkable
sales record of the past months"

Cleveland Six Establishes
Australian Record

Word has just been received by
the Cleveland factory from its dis
tributors located at Sydney, Aus
traha, that\a Cleveland six stock
model touring car has been sue
cessful in establishing a new record
in a run from Sydney to Dubbo,
Australia.
The total distance between the
two cities is 259 miles, and the
Cleveland Six managed to set the
record by making this distance in
less than six hours. When it is ex-
planned that the car was obliged to
slow down to conform to traffic
regulations at various sections and
that it encountered heavy fog and
mist in the mountains, which great
ly retarded its speed, the record is
all the more remarkable. AT times
the car sustained speed of better
than 79 miles an hour.
Just prior to making this run this
same Cleveland Six won 5 mile
race event at Penrith and was
placed second in another, being
beaten by only 20 yards by the
Bugatti car, which won the Grand
Prix at Paris. before being sent to
Australia,

new cars surpassed anything Buick
had ever done before, and that there
would be tremendous demand for

would be accepted by the motoring
public is furnished by the number
of orders placed with the factory by
the branch managers and dis

half hour went skyward in good earn

Chicago next week would reach total

Talk of a corner in wheat became
prevalent in some quarters and it was
pointed out that the lake shipments
expected to be made from Chicago next
week would reduce by half the sup

Dun's Report

New York. Aug. 7.-Dun's tomorrow
will say:
1t is the more common report now
that business Is gaining, something be-
ing added each week to the progress
recently made. The advance is grad
ual yet this is more to be desired than
a rapid expansion that might lead to
excesses and increase the possibilities
of a sudden reaction. Except for the
threatened coal strike, the present in
dications are encouraging and the
greater activity in the formation Of
new enterprises reflects confidence in
the future. The prospect Of q further
tax reduction is among the factors
that have a tendency to strengthen
sentiment, while there remains the
constructive influence Of the fuel sit
uation and enhanced purchasing power
OF farmers In the west and the south.
The latter phase Is highly significant
for national prosperity largely de-
pends upon favorable conditions in ag-
ricultural sections.
