NEWEST HUDSON IN SEVEN MODELS “The new Hudson Super Six comes in seven body types more notable for their beauty than ever before,’’ asserts Dan R. Petit of the Augusta Auto Co. “And just as the chassis represents the perfected development of a decade of achievement, so do these models represent the highest ideal of the coach builder’s «rt. The development of beauty, artistry and utility In the Hudson has kept pace with the perfection of mechanical detail. 'Hudson designers were among the first to recognize and satisfy the craving 450 BROAD ST. Everything Electrical For Your Car Our Electrical Department i* in charge of Capable Men With Years of Experience, and i* Equipped to Render You Prompt and Guaranteed Service. THE AUGUSTA HEHALD of the public for refinement and distinc tion in motor cars. Skilled Hudson ar tisans were pioneers in investing the au tomobile with that air of dignified qual ity which marked the fine old family coach of a generation ago. “The century-old art of fine coach building was revived by Hudson in the belief that particular men and women of today arc just as proud of the appear ance of their cars as the old aristocracy was proud of the exclusive features of the family coach. “As a result new standards of beauty have been created each year until Hud son cars have become as famous for their distinction of appearance as for their power and endurance. The constant aim, however, ha* been to combine utility with beauty. No Hudson today ha* ever been built merely for the purpose of hav ing something different. Every mode has filled a real transportation need. “This is true in a supreme degree of tho seven new body types—the four and seven passenger phaetons, sedan, coupe, cabriolet, touring, limousine and limou sine. There is greater economy and practicability "with the utmost in luxury and 4-omfort in every one of these new models. "From upholstery binding to the door handles, the beat and only the very best of materials and workmanship have been u*ed. 1 And underlying their artistry of line is the greater performance and en durance resulting from the experience gained through more than 60,000 Hudson Supor Sixes in the hands of their owner*. “Every model possesses, but in a per fected degree, the endurance which en abled the Super Six lo withstand the punishment of record-breaking trans continental runs and conquer the world’* greatest racing machines. ’ LIVING GOST CUT BY AUTO, SAYS JOHN LEWIS GOOD ROADS SITUATION IS LIKE THE RAILROAD PROBLEM WAS 50 YEARS AGO, “Along with the great national move ment for better highways com*** the quetion of weight of loads, speed and many other factors,” says John Lewis. “In the solution of the matter, plain, or dinary common sense should prevail. Unimproved roads. In good weather when they are dry and sound, can stand a great deal of traffic with little or no damage They ran even bear tremendous loads if the width of the tire is sufficient. When these roads ate solid big steam traction engines, with thrashing machines or corn shellers, run over them with no dam age, in fact, with benefit as they act like roller*. "Moderately improved roads likewise ran stand much traffic in good weather. The big trouble with these roads is that they are not what can be called all-year round roads. They should be Improved to meet the normal requirements of traf fic so that full benefit may be derived from them at all times. Large Loads Lower Prices. “The weight of the load should be de termined on the basis of width of tires. Route* between large cities or import ant commercial and Industrial centers serve for enormous tonnage and th* larger the units In which this tonnage Is hauled th** greater the economy of haul ing. These routes are main arteries of traffic and anything which Increase* th* cost of transportation on them is paid for by all the people, regardless of how far they may be from these main arteries. When it Is taken into consideration that a 50 per cent increase in the size of the unit hauled makes a 15 per cent decrease in the cost of transportation the matter becomes one of great economic import ance with tonnage running up into the millions. Likens Roads to Railroads. "On these roads the weight is fully taken care of by the 800-pound limit per inch width of tire. For every 800 pounds on inch Is added to the bearing surface of the tires. With the addition of a trailer the weight of th* load can be doubled without doubling the strain on the road. You simply add to the wheel base. The load, while greater, is distributed over more wheels of proportionate tire width. A striking Illustration of thl* is given by our roads. While heavy rolling stock, such as the big compound engine* which are now used on our railroads, are very much heavier than the rolling stock of years ago. the weight per inch of bearing surface has not been greatly Increased. This ha* been met by putting extra bear ing surface under the weight. For in stance. the big engines now have six teen driving wheels, whereas the early engines had only four. "it would have been as sensible 50 years ago to have prohibited the use of locomotives larger than the little four wheel drivers, as It would be today to limit the weight of the motor truck on any other basis than tire width, and the numb* r of wheels under the weight, which in the case of our large locomo tives gives several hundred per cent greater hauling capacity wlthr probably only 100 per cent greater weight of rail. Without the development of the large lo comotive and the Increased size of rail road cars, freight rates would probably he double what they are now. if we set *n artificial limit on motor trucks, we are handlcppng what is fast becom ing an important means of transporta tion, and adding to the cost of every article of fond or clothing we use. and placing h generally greater economic- bur den on the country. We must build the road to carry the load." TIRE PRECAUTION THAT WILL SAVE OWNERS TROUBLE ' Motorist* should he cautioned against using too much talc when Inserting In ner tubes In osslngs, Beys A. B.

Public demand for this model has increased steadily; evidencting so keen an approval of its commodious and graceful body design that no alteration of seating arrangement has been made. Both models are mounted on the same sturdy chassis that has made Chandler performance most satisfying to 50.000 owners.
