To Owners
of Low Priced
Cars
j If one car lasts you twice as long as
j another car—even should the second
j be only
\ i car half its price—you would do
: better to buy the more durable Y'ehicie.
It would cost you less for maintenance;
it would give you better performance;
its service would prove far more con¬
sistent and reliable.
That is why you would do better to buy
' the Hupmobile.
] The Hupmobile gives you greater econ¬
j ! omy of upkeep and operation than
most lower priced cars; and it affords
the unfailing service, and the durabil¬
ity, of cars two and three times its price.
