Buy Now and Save Money on a
Hudson Super-Six
MORE THAN 53 MAKES HAVE ADVANCED IN
PRICE — HUDSON'S TOO MUST COST MORE
Nearly every make of car, ex-
cept the Hudson, has lately increas-
ed in price.
Cars that sold at $1200 and
$1400 now cost about as much as a
Super-Six. Since January, 51 mak-
ers of automobiles have announced
price increases amounting to $100
to $700.
The necessity of buying mater-
ials on today's market has forced
these increases.
Steel costs five tfjnes as much
as it did at the beginning of the war.
Cotton, rubber—all items that enter
into the manufacture of an automo-
bile—now cost more than ever be-
fore.
Hudsons will cost more when
the present stock of materials, pur-
chased last year at lower prices, is
exhausted. There's no way of avoid-
ing it. The price advantage that
other cars once held no longer exists.
Hudson has been the most de-
sired car, regardless of price. It
will be more popular than ever now
that cheaper cars have advanced in
price.
We know the number of cars
from present material supplies that
we are to get. At the rate of present
sales present prices can not be con-
tinued long. Some models will be
advanced in price within one month.
Now is the time to get a Hudson
Super-Six. Have its use the remain-
der of the summer and throughout
the fall. Save the money that delay
will necessitate your paying for a
Hudson.
Gasoline Economy and the Super-Six
"Economy has taken on a new meaning these days. With the
national conservation of food, control of coal prices, etc., it is only
natural that we should hear of gasoline economy.
"The Hudson Super-Six is doing its "bit," and every day we
hear of new records in gasoline economy made by some of the 40,000
Super-Six owners," says B. F. Lowman, of the Tourist Garage.
"Down in Arizona a Hudson Super-Six, owned by Chas. Goldman,
has been operated since last October withoot a fan, and on a recent
trip to Tucson Mr. Goldman averaged 16 miles to the gallon of gasoline.
In Winston-Salem, N. C., a Hudson owner averaged 17.6 miles on a gal-
lon of gasoline with a Hudson speedster.
"C. A. Ford, of Lincoln, Nebraska, recently made a 2500 mile
trip through New York State and New England. Never once during
the trip did he lift the hood, or make a single adjustment, and he aver-
aged better than 14 miles to the gallon.
"Gasoline economy is not always demonstrated on the >*oad.
Fuel can be saved by never allowing the motor to run idle. All parts
should be properly lubricated, and thus the gasoline is saved for
actual driving and not for creating waste power."
Just a Word About Price Comparison
I wonder if you have compared
automobile prices lately? Could
you tell exactly how much more a
certain car costs now than it did a
year ago?
Since last January over 50 mak-
ers have advanced their prices. A
Cadillac 7-passenger phaeton now
costs $940 more than a Hudson; and
a Chandler, that you could buy for
$1395, is priced at $1595.
The Super-Six costs the same.
There are a number of cars that
once had a price advantage. Today
they cost more, or within a few dol-
lars as much as a Hudson. If you
buy you don't want to pay this in-
crease when you can get a Hudson
Super-Six at the old price.
Hudsons too, will advance, for
it costs more to build cars today
than it did last January. Present
Hudson price advantage is due en-
tirely to the fact that the comparv
is building of materials bought lasi
year when the market was down.
For a short time we can make a lim-
ited number of deliveries at the old
price. We want you to take advan-
tage of this opportunity to make a
substantial saving.
Yours very truly,
BEN F. LOWMAN, Agent, Geary, Okla.

MORE MEN THAN WOMEN
HAVE APPENDICITIS
Surgeons state men are slightly
subject to appendicitis than wo-
men. Geary people should know
that a few doses of simple buckthorn
bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Ad-
ler-i ka often relieve or prevent
appendicitis. This mixture removes
such surprising foul matter that ONE
SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY
CASE constipation, sour stomach or
gas. The INSTANT, easy action of
Adler-i ka is surprising. — ROGERS
