It is on exhibition now at the Automobile show. The strides Atlanta is making as the automobile center of Dixie is indicated by the fact that the Jackson Motor Company, of Jackson, Mich., has just decided to open a branch here. This company is negotiating now for a Peachtree street location. Space has been secured at the show, an exhibit of cars expressed from the factory, and the new 1913 Jacksons will be on exhibition at the Auditorium the rest of the week. Fred J. Strong is manager of the new branch. He has been -with the Jackson company for. years. He will have most of the South as his territory. ... F. A. Witt, Georgia race driver, who made his reputation handling E-M-F and Flanders cars, and who is now with the Flanders company, is a visitor at the show. Mr. Witt is enthusiastic, over the proposed consolidation of the Flanders company and the United States Motor Cotnpany, with Walter Flanders head of the new consolidation.

Special Exhibit Gives You This Opportunity. II MOUSINEWeek at our display room means that you can here see limousines in which the imagination J of the most fastidious can find nothing lacking in character, tone or completeness. The .Vew HUDSON “37” limousine body is designed by recognized artists—men who build ?5,000 and $6,000 closed cars. These limousines embody the master strokes in body building. The secret behind their surprising beauty, comfort and roominess is that the Hudson Motor Car Company is this year building 10,000 chassis. There is not a maker of high priced limousines who builds over 2,000 pleasure cars and there is but one who has reached output. Hence the Hudson Company buys materials in 10 times the quantity that the average limousine builder does. For his production is smaller and material cost heavy. Consequently at $1,750 less you can secure in the .Ye w HUDSON “37” the same beauty, comfort, quality, richness and tone that last year you were obliged to pay $5,000 for. Mechanical perfection is taken care of by the fact that the car is the creation of 48 picked engineers, with experience in 97 famous factories of the world. These men had a hand in building over 200,000 automobiles. In concentrating all this vast experience in one car they worked under Howard E. Coffin, America’s foremost designer. The HUDSON limousine is electrically self-cranked and electric lighted, it has a lull complement of lamps, consisting of dome light, running board illuminators, head lights, side lights—in fact there is nothing that youcan picture that is lacking in this beautiful limousine. May we show you these cars during our special exhibition? We should heartily welcome a visit from you at our display rooms. FULTON AUTO SUPPLY CO. Distributors 66 East North Avenue J. W.

All Southern records will be surpassed. And the attractive feature to the ex hibitors is that there are so few' “joy lookers” and so many bona-fide pros pects. People aren’t there to hear the music and to look at the decorations, but to study 1913 models and to decide which cars to buy. These people are glad to have their names put on mailing lists for catalogues and for circulars and are real prospective purchasers. • * • "Dress suits tonight” is the order of Show Committee Chairman Wylie West. “No Tuxedos go. This is the big night.” ,T. B. Biddy, of the Consolidated Auto Company, of Columbia, S. C., is touring to Atlanta by motor. ... Only one oil company is showing at the Auditorium—and naturally it is a live one —the Reed Oil Company, of 266 West North avenue. This company is less than one year old and has been going full blast hardly more than nine months. Yet in this time it has sold nearly 90,000 gallons of oil, more than 80,000 pounds of auto mobile greases and more than 25,000 pounds of automobile soap. The Reed booth is one of the llvest spots at the show. The Reed line ’ includes Triple E, light medium and heavy; Double E, light, medium and heavy; Single E, light, ffiedium and heavy; A transmission oil, B transmission oil, Reed’s motorcycle oil, compression cup grease, semi-fluid greakb, fiber transmission grease, graphite semi-fluid grease, graphite tranmission grease, automobile soap, “Easy-Shine” metal polish and resurfacing fluid. • * • Among the most interesting of the vis itors at the Atlanta show are Mr. and Mrs. M.

The number of people traveling by motor car is little short of wonderful, and m my opinion, this feature of the automobile game insures its per manent success.

Parts and materials gre neatly piled, and passageways are never obstructed. In the automatic screw machine room, said to be one of the largest and most modern in the industry, several men are kept busy all the time, carrying stock in anil out, and sprinkling saw dust on the floors to take up the oil splashed from the machines. KEEP METAL OUT OF GREASE. A little piece of metal such as a piece of a cotter pin or the like accidentally dropped into the can or pail of grease, and subsequently put into the gearcase oJ a motor car has been known to cause much damage, and give the driver or owner of the ear considerable trouble and expense.

PRINCES OF INDIA ARE BUYING HUDSON CARS Blooded East Indian sovereign princes, despite the many automobiles which are made in England, are flock ing to the American car. J. W. Goldsmith, Jr., the Hudson dealer, told today who the motoring Maharajahs are. They are the Maha rajahs of Tikarl, Chota Nagpur, Huth wa, Nowagar and the Nawab of Bogra. Their actions In purchasing Hudsons instead of English cars when they be came motorists may be a reflection of the attitude of East Indians toward the British regime. One thing which ap pealed to all the East Indians in con nection with American cars, and espe cially with the Hudson, was the utter simplicity. In addition, the silence of the latter car when in operation im pressed them, for it has become known in India as “The Sili-nt Hudson." Mr. Goldsmith told today how the gorgeous Indian Equipages of state were becoming a thing of the past and that the upper classes were fast taking to automobiles because of the saving of time thus effected. "The fame of Howard E. Coffin,” he said, "is not confined solely to this country, nor is the knowledge of his board of engineers. It is said that men in choosing cars abroad are often known to ask whether Coffin has ap proved this or that type of motor car design, for many of the best known methods of engineering practice origi nated with Mr. Coffin. The addition of the industry’s largest board of motor ear engineers to the brains behind the Hudson has given the car even more fame. In Calcutta there are now ap proximately 100 Hudsons on the streets, some of the most notable of British officials also owning them. “But in India the princes and re maining families of blue blood of the old days still set the pace and the pop ularity of the Hudson with them as sures it a firm foothold in that coun try-.”
