HUDSON ESSEX
BUILDING 1000.
CARS 4 DAY
Walter Lambert Says Coach
Has Proved Phenomenal
Success

One thousand cars a day-the big
best six-cylinder business in the
automobile industry, now are being
built i'm the Hudson Essex factories
in Detroit. according to word re.
ceived by Walter Lambert, Hudson
Essex distributor.
Ninety per cent of this immense
business is in the popular Hudson
Essex coaches, it was declared. The
coach type of body was originated
by the Hudson organization three
years ago, and this concern now
has had the experience of building
nearly a quarter of a million of
them.
Phenomenal Success.
This great volume of business,
which has brought Hudson-Essex
into an indisputable six-cylinder
leadership for the whole industry"
said Mr.. Lambert, has been q
steady growth over the period in
which the coach has been built
There probably has never been a
single body type in the whole his
tory Of tie business which has had
such phenomenal success.
Now the popularity has become
such that Hudson Essex is the big
gest builder of six.cylinder cars in
the world. When you consider that
same automobile men tried to ridi-
cule the coach when 1t was first in
troduced, the success of Hudson
Essex must be considered a most
remarkable one.
This spring there will undoubted-
ly be a shortage of these popular
cars, because our winter business
has been so consistently good that
we have been unable to build up
a reserve supply or them. 1t IL
fortunate indeed that the Hudson
Essex factory has been able to
reach this high mark Of production,
or the shortage would be even
more drastic.
THE thinking motor car buyer
must ask himself, what is behind
this success My opinion In that
Hudson Essex do not emphasize any
one feature Of their cars, but make
every attempt to build in all.around
value. The public asks for reliable
at the right stan
dard Of prices. Month after month
it Is this type of buying which has
kept Hudson-Essex in position
of uninterrupted sales leadership
and public demand.
April to be Big Month.
April will be the largest month
we ever have known. The last
few days have shown sharp up
ward trend in demand-the first
sign Of the spring rush. The great
est number Of inquiries is for
coaches-and this is true, l under
stand, with all lines of cars. But
for a long time to come the man
who thinks of coaches will think
of Hudson and Essex"

by trade.in considerations.
Safety advocates hold that with
a million cor so ears bought up an
nually by the manufacturers the
nation would be assured freedom
from cars with serious mechanical
defects and that this, in turn. would
be direct benefit to the automotive
industry.
Whether the plan will gain any
Roadway depends partly on the
manufacturers and partly on the
motoring public. In the last analysis
the public would have to pay for
the cost Of junking the cars. The
question then arises. Is the public
willing to pay for motordohn un-

MOTORISTS BURNING
aga GALLONS A YEAR

Motorists in the United States
are burning gasoline at the rate
of 494 gallons year for every car
in operation.
Consumption Of gasoline was
highest in 1917 when it was 523
gallons. The ratio dropped off
steadily until 1921 when it was re-
ported as 421 gallons the lowest
on record.

instead of finding it parked all day
in a space that would do for two
cars. the old car, under the iunkins
plan, would be out Of the schemes
Of things altogether. To the aver.
age man this is assumed to be worth
at least $50
Worth $50 to Maker.
To the manufacturer it should be
worth another $50. 1t stops a lot of
sales resistance and brings orders
| from people who have held off On
buying because Of the large number
| of irresponsible people driving ne
crepit cars. The item might easily
be charged to advertising, sinces the
removal of the old car renews in
terest in motoring. 1t serves to clear
the decks for healthier and more
efficient type of motoring.
To the automobile dealer the
Junking plan should be worth another
$50. using a medium priced car as
base, 1t would prevent the har-
gain hunter in run. down used caIs
from picking up cars for song,
and it would eventually be boom
! to the legitimate used-car market,
since the man who could NOT pick
up the wreckage would strive for
the next best thing, a uaeabls used
car.
Just as in the present methods of
| trading in old cars, It is believed
that manufacturer, dealer and mo-
| torist would be willing to share the
expense of the PLAN. The brogres-
sive motorist has never for an in
! slant been ignorant Of the fact that
4 when he trades in his old car he
pays for some OF the cost in the
price of the new. and progressive

has simply paid for the convenience

tributions in order to stimulate bust

Benefits Motoring.
The process is said to be no diff
ferent under the proposed plan of
getting rid of the undesirable cars,
except that it has the additional
advantage of removing a number of
! physical hazards and Of benefitting
motoring. Just what the public, The
manufacturers and the automobile
retailers would be willing to pay
for this remains to be seen.
! The motor vehicle commissioners
of the various States could, it is
believed hasten such a step by re.

to be past the stage of safety and
genuine usefulness. But the cost
involved in proving that these cars
are not deserving Of license plates

1t would be cheaper in the long
run. according to the present view
Of the matter, for the manufacturers
to buy back the old cars, junk
them, and charge the public a fair
portion of the expense through a
proportional increase in the prices
of new cars 1t Is indicated that

at feet inches, which the Ameri-

in another part of the gymnasium,
suddenly shot out and did likewise.
Gradually the bar was raised by
inches to feet, which both men
negotiated. Carpenter easily and
Dempsey haltingly. Finally Dempsey
missed at 5 feet l inch. Carpenter
reached feet 6 inches. while Demp-

Dempsey's ring work stood high
above that of Carpenter.
