Most Hudson owners remain Hudson owners. They find nothing Some have owned five, ten. sixteen' to tempt them elsewhere. successive Hudsons.
They have found each succeeding Hudson a better, smoother, finer car.
Those who drive to-day's Super-Six call it the greatest Hudson ever built.
Its price makes it conspicuous not only among cars of comparable fineness, but even among those that you never classify with Hudson in quality.

INVENTIONS RECEIVE ROUGH TREATMENT.

Save one. You may always thoughtlessly say, “Give me a quart of all ".
Queer unexpected knocks come. Repair bills seem high and frequent. Operating troubles multiply. The repair man simply can't keep the engine sweet. You expected to keep the ear five seasons. But the engine already shows signs of age.
All around you are men who don't turn cars in every season of two-who aren't 'constantly face-to-face with unexpected repair bills-who olimb long hills easily and quietly evan when the car is old.
They are the men who fandle their car a bit, keep them up well.
And they are particularly careful about lubrication.
Have you over noticed how many of them are enthusi- asts on Gargoyle Masioil?
NOW FOR ECONOMY.
People are learning that they have a right to expect more from their lubrication. More automobile owners will learn the lesson this year than ever before. More will wake up to the fact that incorrect 'habrication doubles engine repair bills. Instead of saying "Give me a quart of oil' they will ask for the correct grade of Gargoyle Mobilcil.

FIRST."
Strength. Cleanliness and Economy the "NERACAR stands unrivalled
The NERACAR" was not built for excessive speed. On plain level roads, it will give a speed of 35 miles, whilst on hills-such as the Chin Wan Hill-it will give a speed of 23 miles per hour, as proved in the recent trials. Considering that most people rarely go motoring at more than 30 miles on level roads or 20 miles up hills, the. "NERACAR" has a reserve speed which is quite ample.
The NERACAR" was specially designed and built to meet the needs of people who, in their daily avocations and pleasures, find that what is really required is a reliable, fair priced. light two-wheeled motor car that will carry them about safely, economically, at a fair speed and without the risk of having their clothing soiled by dirt, grease and oil. The NERACAR" answers all these requirements and its gasoline consumption is one gallon to 100 miles!
