HUDSON  SUPER  -  SIX 
Excels  All  in  Endurance 
Save  $175  Before  December  1st 
Things  the  Super -Six  does  are  less  important  than  the  way  it 
does  them.  In  breaking  world's  records  it  has  hardly  shown 
an  effort.  And  after  7000  record-breaking  miles,  a  Super- 
Six  motor  showed  no  evidence  of  wear  in  any  part  or  bearing. 
S 
the  impossible.  So  Ike  and  Annie  sold 
the  farm  and  came  to  start  the  great  city. 
It  never  started.  The  railroad  headed  20 
miles  west.  Out  among  the  scrub  oaks 
yon  could  find  some  of  the  rutting  stakes 
marked  “Broadway,”  “Clay  St.”  or 
“Lake  Avenue.”  The  swamp  and  forest 
refused  to  be  civilized.  Ike  built  his  hotel 
in  anticipation  of  the  human  wave  which 
would  wash  prosperity  his  way.  It 
never  came,  and  only  a  rough,  rambling 
house  remained  as  the  weatherbeaten 
gravestone  of  Sawdust  City.  Of  all  the 
pioneers  there  were  only  Ike  and  Annie 
— last  of  them  all — celebrating  their 
happy  Thanksgiving! 
“Why  don’t  you  sell  out  and  move  to 
some  town?”  said,  the  practical  lumber¬ 
man. 
“Well,  sir — it  would  he  too  far  from 
home!  Me.  and  Annie  know  this  place — 
every  corner  of  it.  Every  crick  of  a  tim¬ 
ber  at  night  brings  a  memory.  We  are 
just  part  of  the  place.  And  the  little  girl 
is  buried  off  there  by  the  brook.  We 
couldn't  go  away  from  that,  could  we?” 
"lint  isn’t  it  so  awful  lonesome?” 
It  was  the  young  woman  who  asked, 
and  it  was  Annie  who  softly  answered 
her. 
“No,  for  we  have  great  company.  I 
have  Ike  and  he  1ms  me.  All  these  long 
years  have  tried  us  out.  Wo  know  each 
other,  fltid  we  are  satisfied.  Each  Thanks¬ 
giving  finds  us  happier  than  before,  be¬ 
cause  we  know  that,  our  last  years  are  to 
be  our  best  years.” 
The  rich  man  looked  over  to  Ike  and 
Annie  with  something  of  hopeless  envy 
printed  on  his  face.  Ilis  wife  nodded  her 
head  gently  and  then  sat  gazing  into  the 
fire  until  Ike  gave  us  clearly  to  under¬ 
stand  that  10  o’clock  was  the  hour  for 
retiring  at  the  “Fanners’  Ttest.” 
Thanksgiving. — We  stayed  for  our 
Thanksgiving  dinner,  and  the  gray  roos¬ 
ter.  stuffed  with  chestnuts  and  bread¬ 
crumbs.  might  well  have  stood  up  in  the 
platter  to  crow  at  the  praises  heaped 
upon  him.  The  forenoon  was  gloomy  and 
dull,  hut  just  as  we  came  to  the  table  the 
sun  broke  through  the  clouds.  A  long 
splinter  of  sunshine  broke  through  the 
window — falling  upon  Annie’s  snow-white 
hair.  Ike  hurried  to  move  her  chair  out 
of  the  sun,  hut.  the  rich  man  asked  Ike 
to  leave  her  there,  for  1  think  something 
in  that  sunny  picture  took  him  back  to 
childhood- — as  most  men  go  on  Thanks¬ 
giving  Day. 
And  shortly  after  dinner  the  farmer 
came  up  the  road  with  the  carriage.  The 
axle  hail  been  mended  and  the  horses 
rested.  We  all  shook  hands  with  Ike 
and  Annie.  T  was  to  go  my  way  and  the 
other  guests  were  to  pass  out  of  our  little 
world. 
Annie  held  the  young  girl’s  hand  for  a 
moment. 
“My  dear,  I  hope  you  will  soon  b.-  back 
in  the  city  among  your  friends,  where  you 
will  not  be  so  louely.  It  must  be  hard 
for  you  here.” 
The  girl  hesitated  a  moment  and  then 
put  her  hand  on  her  husband's  shoulder. 
'‘John,  would  it  mean  very  much  to  you 
if  we  went  right  hack  to  the  camp  so  you 
could  finish  your  business?” 
“Yes  it  would— -but  I  am  afraid - ” 
“Then  we  will  not  go  home  yet,  but  we 
will  go  hack  until  you  are  through.  I 
have  had  a  beautiful  Thanksgiving.  I 
would  rather  stay  in  the  woods.” 
And  so  they  turned  in  their  tracks  and 
went  buck  through  the  swamp.  The 
nijtht  before  she  said  she  should  always 
hate  the  place  where  the  accident  had 
made  Ike  Sawyer’s  hotel  a  necessity. 
Now  as  she  passed  it  she  smiled  and  gave 
her  husband  a  pinch — a  trick  she  must 
have  learned  from  Annie.  And  so  they 
went  on  through  the  sunny  afternoon  of 
the  “thankfullest  day  of  their  lives.” 
They  were  thinking  of  the  working  force 
at  the  “Farmers’  Rest” — the  feet  and  the 
hands ! 
And  the  thought  in  their  minds  framed 
itself  over  and  over  iuto  words: 
“Out  of  their  poverty,  out  of  their 
trouble  and  loneliness,  this  man  and 
woman  hard  found  each  other,  ami  thus 
hare  found  the  most  beautiful  and 
precious  thing  in  life — lore!"  it.  w.  c. 
Quick-drying  Guay  Floor  Paint. — 
Answering  ,T.  D.  B.f  on  page  986,  who 
asked  for  a  quick-drying  floor  paint  recipe, 
her  kitchen  being  in  blue  and  white  ami 
yellow  ochre  being  out  of  the  color 
scheme,  if  she  will  add  white  lend  to 
shellac  varnish,  just  enough  lead  to  turn 
the  varnish  white,  then  add  a  little  black, 
ground  in  japau,  making  a  light  gray,  she 
will  have  a  good  wearing  paint  of  a  pleas¬ 
ing  color,  one  that  will  go  well  with  the 
color  scheme  of  her  kitchen  Glue  paint 
is  not  tit  for  any  floor,  certainly  not  for  a 
kitchen  floor.  A  shellac  paint  will  dry 
over  night  fit  to  walk  on.  She  has  been 
told  that  gray  ochre  is  not  desirable,  she 
adds.  No;  gray  ochre  is  simply  a  trade 
name  for  a  cheap  compound  of  barytes  or 
china  clay,  tinted  with  ochre  sometimes, 
but  uncolorcd  is  known  as  the  gray.  It 
is  used  mainly  by  some  painters  for ‘prim¬

Sheep  as  Weed-killers. — Noticing 
difficulties  iu  ridding  the  lawn  of  weeds, 
our  experience  is  that  since  we  had  a 
couple  of  sheep  feeding  about  the  yard  a 
thick  mat  of  clover  has  replaced  the  dan¬ 
delion  and  'buttercup,  no  sign  of  chick- 
weed  this  year.  Our  fruit  trees  are 
laden  with  nice  fruit. 
Westmoreland,  N.  II.  e.  E.  s. 
The  Hudson  Super-Six,  in  most  cities,  has 
broken  all  local  records.  Most  of  you  have  seen 
them  broken. 
It  has  elsewhere  broken  all  worth-while  records 
which  have  any  bearing  on  stock  cars.  But  all 
these  wondrous  things  are  done  without  a  sign  of 
effort.  _ 
Most  stock  motors  go  to  pieces  in  attempting 
speedway  tests.  Also  in  hill-climbing  feats.  They 
never  arrive  at  all. 
But  most  of  our  stock-car  records  were  won 
with  a  single  Super-Six.  It  made  a  speed  record 
exceeding  102  miles  per  hour.  It  broke  all  tour¬ 
ing  car  speed  records  up  to  100  miles.  It  ran 
1819  miles  in  24  hours,  exceeding  the  record  by 
52  per  cent 
Yet  that  Super-Six  motor,  after  3800  miles  of 
that  terrific  strain,  showed  no  wear  whatever. 
The  motor’s  condition  was  to  experts  almost 
unbelievable. 
Another  Super-Six  broke  the  ocean-to-oeean 
record,  solely  because  of  endurance.  It  ran  from 
San  Francisco  to  New  York  in  5  days,  3  hours  and 
31  minutes.  Then  the  same  7-passenger  Super- 
Six  turned  around  and  went  back  to  San  Fran¬ 
cisco.  The  round  trip  was  made  in  10  days,  21 
hours,  3  minutes.  It  was  the  first  car  to  ever 
finish  in  a  coast  to  coast  and  return  trip  against 
time. 
Last  spring  the  best  one-way  time  made  by  a 
famous  8  was  7  days,  11  hours,  52  minutes. 
In  2}  2  days  more  the  Super-Six  made  the  round 
trip.  No  test  of  endurance  ever  equaled  that. 
That’s  WHat  You  Want 
That’s  why  men  buy  the  Super-Six — men  wise 
in  motor  cars.  Not  for  excessive  speed  or  power. 
But  to  render  every-day  performance  without 
vibration,  wear  or  effort. 
The  Super-Six  at  half  capacity  can  match 
another  car’s  supreme  exertion.  That  means  a 
long-lived  motor,  low  upkeep,  small  repairs.

Cabriolet,  3-passenger  .  .  1775  {Prices  /„< 
The  great  fact  is  that  the  Super-Six  has  almost 
ended  vibration.  It  has  reduced  motor  friction  to 
almost  nil. 
Made  Hudson  Supreme 
The  Super-Six  has  made  the  Hudson  undis¬ 
puted  king.  It  now  outsells  any  other  fine  car 
with  a  price  above  $1100.  In  six  months  we  have 
quadrupled  our  output,  but  3500  cars  per  month 
still  fail  to  meet  demands. 
Yet  this  is  the  first  season  of  the  Super -Six. 
Last  spring  it  entered  the  market  a  stranger, 
with  all  a  stranger’s  uncertainties.  And  men 
have  only  begun  to  realize  what  this  new-type 
motor  means. 
The  end  of  the  season  will  find  25,000  running. 
It  finds  the  Super-Six  in  possession  of  all  the 
worth-while  records.  It  finds  a  car  so  perfect  that 
not  one  change  is  necessary  for  the  coming  year. 
Then  every  motorist  must  concede  the  Super- 
Six  supremacy.  And  men  who  have  bought  cars 
with  a  lesser  motor  will  realize  their  mistake. 
The  Super-Six  is  not  one  of  the  passing  sensa¬ 
tions.  Ours  is  not  one  «f  those  claims  to  motor 
supremacy  which  yields  in  a  year  or  two  to 
another.  Mark  what  these  records  mean.  There 
is  plenty  of  evidence  now  to  convince  you  that  it 
cannot  be  superseded. 
You  Can  Save 
$175  Now 
By  buying  now  you  can  [save  $175.  The 
price  will  be  advanced  December  1st.  The 
models  will  not  be  changed.  You  get  the  same 
Super-Six  motor,  the  same  wonderful  chassis, 
and  the  same  beautiful  body.  Your  car  you  get 
now  will  be  identical  with  those  we  shall  sell  after 
December  1st. 
On  that  date  we  start  a  second  production  of 
the  Super-Six.  Material  costs  have  increased 
enormously.  That  forces  this  raise  in  price.
