THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
April 27, 1912. 
The price for either of three models—Touring, five-passenger; Torpeclo, four-passenger; or Roadster; two-passenger— is 
$1600. Not a cent more is needed to equip either car before it is ready for use, for top. Disco Self-Starter, Demountable 
rims, BIG tires, windshield, large gas tank, magneto—dual ignition system—and all things usually listed as extras are 
included. Write for illustrations, showing how the New Self-Starting HUDSON "33” is simpler than any other car. 
We urge you to examine other cars as well as the 
HUDSON “33.” 
New Self-Starting 
If you can’t find it convenient to personally examine the other cars, get 
catalogs and compare the illustrations, 
chasses side by side 
Lay the photographs of the engines and 
Note as a comparison of simplicity the complications of other 
self-starters, if there is one. Some use miles of electric wire. They 
are so heavy that they tax the engine with power to operate them 
and add a load to the car weight equal to an extra passenger. 
Note how easily such starters can get out of order. Many 
starters are so much a part of the car that when they are out of 
order the automobile is out of commission. 
Now turn to the amazingly simple HUDSON “33” Self-Starter. 
Note its weight of only 4 pounds. Note its utter simplicity of only 
12 parts. It is the only self-starter that Howard E. Coffin—Amer¬ 
ica’s foremost engineer would O. K. 
Many cars having a jumble of rods, wires, exposed mechanism 
—and other mechanical obstructions—are difficult to understand. 
See how they are bound to collect dust and sand that must* 
eventually ruin the car. Vital parts of cars of such design are so* 
inaccessible that they cannot be reached except by tearing out 
other parts of the car. 
These things add greatly to the cost of maintenance. They 
interfere seriously with the performance of the car. 
You need not be an automobile expert to understand such 
disadvantages. 
You immediately recognize that by eliminating approximately 
1000 parts, we can put the money thus saved into bettering the qual¬ 
ity of the parts that are used. That is why experts do not compare 
the HUDSON with other cars selling within its price-range—be¬ 
tween $1400 and $2000—but with cars which sell above $2500. 
What this Means in 
Reducing Repair Charges 
Most repair expense is for the time required to remove the 
obstructions that interfere with the free access of the part needing 
attention and for the replacing of those rods and wires and other 
things after the repair has been made. 
At 60 cents an hour—the minimum charge for such service— 
you can understand what this means when four or five hours must 
be consumed in removing and in replacing parts in order to make 
an adjustment that, were it not for this inaccessibility, could be 
made in a few minutes. You save all such expense and annoyance 
if you own a New Self-Starting HUDSON “33.” It is accessible 
in every detail. 
The Dust Proof Idea 
Dust and sand cut the finest bearings. 
No amount of wear is so destructive. Note what provision has 
been made in other cars for protecting moving parts and then look 
at these details on the HUDSON “33.” The valves are enclosed. 
Dust never gets into their mechanism. They are protected from 
such wear. Thus they are not so likely to become noisy. Every 
moving part of the car is fully protected and that means long serv¬ 
ice. It means a greater operating economy. 
A Value Catalogs Cannot Show 
It is impossible to fully compare values of automobiles by 
reference to illustrations and catalogs. 
Even experts do not always know the character or suitableness 
of materials for the functions they must perform, even when the 
cars can be personally examined. 
You cannot realize beauty by looking at illustrations. You 
cannot appreciate quality of finish by a hasty examination. 
To do this you must have had the car for some time and then 
have learned how well the finish stands up under service. 
You must ride in the cars to know their riding qualities. You 
must drive them to know which is easier to operate. 
Experts Do Not Know 
Even a skilled musician cannot correctly choose which of two 
pianos has the finer tone if he cannot test the instruments side 
by side. 
By looking at an automobile in one salesroom and another at 
another place, aren’t you likely to be persuaded in your choice by 
the more convincing salesman? 
You may measure the seats and find a difference in the width, 
but can you carry in your mind for half an hour the qualities of one 
while examining the other? 
Others have found that they can't do that. 
But they have learned a better, safer way to choose. They 
make their choice as they choose their doctors. Not by demanding 
that the doctor explain how he will treat their affliction, but by the 
successes he has had for others. 
Having confidence in him, his advice is faithfully followed. 
Engineers must necessarily know more of their work than do 
laymen. In this they are experts. Their reputations rest upon 
their accomplishments. Why not, then, choose the most successful 
engineer and accept his work as the car you should have? 
In such a case your choice would be the New Self-Starting 
HUDSON “33,” for it is Howard E. Coffin’s greatest car. 
Thousands in the hands of owners endorse the wisdom of such 
a choice. The long, hard service those cars have given to the 
individuals who own them confirm all that has ever been said for 
them. 
You can do no better than to choose “the Master car of the 
Master builder.” 
If you don’t know the dealer nearest you, write for his address. 
We will also tell you much more about the New Self-Starting* 
HUDSON “33” that you will be interested in knowing.
