WHAT'S WRONG WITH BALLOON TYRKS ?
There are two outstanding dle- advantagesto balloon tyres asserts L. J. 1. Healy, noted tyre man.
They are hard stooring and wheel shimmy, Honly says, aro up to the car designer toovercome, ratherthan the tyre manufacturor. Balloons also have a, tendancy to wear fastor on the tread than high-prossure tyres, due to greater; frictional movement encountered over road obstructions and greater deflection of the tyro.
To cura this defect, tyre makers of Akron have decided to increase the number of plies on balloons, from four to six.

Greatest Value HUDSON Ever Offered!
Hudson's consistent leadership in value is emphasized again In the adoption of genuine balloon tires as standard equippient on all models,
+
Do not confuse with "semi-balloon" types. Hudson's are genuine balloon tires. Also note that Hudson has not simply "added balloon tires."Both running and steering gear have been specially designed for the radical differences balloon tires bring. The result in the easiest steering and riding Hudson ever built.
In All Ways a Finer SUPER-SIX
Of course, as always, Hudson's chief advantage is in the superiority of mechanical design and construction,
In speed, acceleration, hill- climbing and endurance it holds marks that are fatnou among all stock cars. Many of it official records have
never been equalled by any car regardless of price.
In this territory, as elsewhero throughout the world, the great number of Hudsons you ace in service is the best proof of the value and satisfaction they consistently render.
