REDUCTION OF TIME
PAYMENTS ON CAR
INCREASES SALES

The sharp reductions in list prices
announced by several leading motor
car manufacturers about 60 days ago
caused somewhat Of a sensation among
automobile buyers.
A corresponding reduction in the
cost Of time payments on motor cars,
just as far-reaching in its effect, was
announced about the same time by
one of the largest financing corpora
tions, yet passed almost without no
tice.
"This latter reduction, made by the
General Motors Acceptance Corpora
tion, while not so spectacular as the
low list prices Of several cars, is
equivalent to a decided reduction or

BEAT ALL RECORDS.
"Hudson-Essex cars are beating all
records. All of this year we have held
the record of being the largest six
cylinder manufacturers in the world,
building more than a quarter million
cars this year. Through this NAM
moth production, we have affected
savings in manufacturing unequaled
in the industry and we are passing
it along to the buyer" said William
Steinhardt, Southwest Texas distrib-
utor. "To comment on this latest
reduction is hardly necessary. Sure
ly Hudson and Essex cars and the
price at which they are selling speak
for themselves. j say this because
the public is the judge and with the
public rests the final decision and in
that connection it is indeed gratifying
TO US to know that all of this year
Hudson and Essex prices have been
right. We know that for sure. How
significant this has been is shown
by the fact that the public has pur-
chased more Hudson and Essex cars
than any other six-cylinder car in the
industry.
SALES PROVE IT.,
"The verdict by the biggest jury,
the buying public. is sales prove it,
The new delivered prices at San
Antonio and adjacent territory points
are as follows: Essex coach 1915.
Hudson coach s1315, Hudson brou-
CHAM S1615, Hudson sedan $685..
a time payment plan is being fea-
tured and the down payment on the
Essex six is $3.50, the Hudson coach

ance in easy monthly payments"
