HUDSON

A Greater Super-Six With

ני

a New Price Advantage

•

To-day's Super-Six is the best value Hudson ever- offered. It is priced lower in proportion to its worth than any other motor car we know.

More than 140,000 Super-Sixes in service and almost eight years leadership of fine car sales show its position."

Now the new Super-Six motor gives Hudson such a delightful smoothness in action that even long time. Hudson owners marvel at the difference.

SAFETY

FIRST."

For safety, Reliability, Strength, Cleanliness and Economy the NEKAGAR"tands 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 25 miles per hour, as proved in the recent trials. Considering that must 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 1
