ESSEX "6" COACH

This is a year of "Sixes." The trend is more irresistible than ever. Hudson-Essex are the largest selling "Sixes." And to- day they are lower in price, finer in quality, greater in value. In ten years of value leadership Hudson Super-Six perfor mance, quality and price have never been so outstanding. And in all advan ages of design, workmanship and materials Hudson and Essex are alike.

Thousands turning from "Fours" find the Essex Six in price, appearance, quality and performance the car of greatest appeal. And Hudson, among the higher priced cars, has no rival in value or sales,

But this year the pass has been conquered by a strange device called the snow motor, a machine that wriggles and twists across the snow-covered road at a speed of from seven to 10 miles an hour. Nothing steps it, for it pulls up the steepest grade or over the deepest drift without scarcely slackening its speed, towing behind it a sled with a. capacity of 14 passengers.

Revolving Drums.,

The machine is, founded on a sensible principle. It consists of la powerral tractor motor mounted ah two farge drums, each about six feet long and two feet and one- half in diameter. On each drum are spiral flanges two" and one- half inches high, running spiral- like from the pointed front

the rear, Similar to the interior of a nical chopper. When the drums revolve toward each other the ap- paritus is forced forward through the subw

The device is guided the same jas a tractory by slowing down the speed of one or the, other of the drums.

"

The first trip over the snow- covered 'pass' has been successfully made. Motor atages carried pas-. sengers to the snow line, the snow motor took them for 16 miles across the summit and at the other snow line they were met by an other stage, which transported them on to Bend.

About 16 miles of highway, cay- ered with a depth of snow varying from six inches to four feet, waa traversed with the motor. The amount of snow will increase as winter continues.

Crosacs on Snow.

The first trip over the snow-bound McKenzie Pass revealed a country of marvellous, beauty. The Mc- Kenzie Pass is a wonderful sight im Hummer with the majestic Three Sisters peaks rising grand- ly to the south, and lesser moun- Itains, visible in the east and north, but when these great mountains are covered with gleaming snow, when the lava beds, which in sum- mer look like great heaps of huge jcinders, are glossed over with the white blanket that covers all but a few stubborn mounds, the, sight is one of the most wonderful in America

Regular Route.

The moter will maintain a re- gular schedule over the snow- locked pass marking the trip each way every day. Sleds that will haul cars across are to be built and then it will be possible for motorists to drive to the snow line, hav, their cars taken aeross, and proceed down the other side.

The motor is being watched with interest by the entire Pacific coast because it will save a day'e ime between the western 'and' eastern rections of the state, and it will open up the famous Me- Kenzie winter travela pro-

World Leadership Brings Low Prices

World Leadership for Graham Brothers Trucks is more than a phrase.

It is a vital, practical thing that means satis- faction and money to buyers.

It means satisfaction because public demand is based on satisfaction, and the demand for Graham Brothers Trucks is growing greater every day. It means money to buyers because large de- mand means large production--and large pro- duction is the secret of low prices.

Graham Brothers are the largest exclusive track manufacturers in the world. By that fact the buyer profits.

He profits' by the quality that created the de- mand-and by the astonishingly low prices that demand made possible.

Now low prices available from your
