Wednesday, August 24, 1921 A. B. WATSON, HEAD OF CROWN STAGES, PACKARD ADMIRER Delighted With Record for Economy Made in Recent Northern Trip With Party The call of the outdoors rings in every Californian's cars 12 months of the year and the year round will find hundreds of motorists pleasure-bent for mountains, fishing streams and other places of recreation. From snow-covered peaks to the sunny oceanside the motorist seeks diversion and the conspicuousness of the closed car along the road and in secluded and difficult sections is becoming more pronounced every year, with the increase of motive power and stability. On a recent trip into the northern part of the state, Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Watson, of Santa Ana, and party drove Mr. Watson's Packard Light Six sedan, and during the trip covered a distance of 1500 miles. The party took their time on the way up from the south, traveling in all over 1500 miles. One particularly pleasant day they spent in the mountains near Hornbrook. They were directed to a small stream where it was the work of a moment to pull out trout measuring up to 20 inches. All members of the party took the opportunity to try their luck. The outstanding feature of the entire trip, according to members of the party, was the performance of the Packard light six sedan. Mr. Watson is general manager of the Crown Stage Co., which operates a fleet of stage cars consisting of 63 cars, each equipped to carry comfortably 20 passengers, and so his word was regarded as of exceptional value by W. E. Alexander, Jr., of the Alexander Motor Car Co., Packard distributors. Watson reported that his car had averaged 19 miles to the gallon of gasoline and on the entire trip of 1561 miles he had used but one single quart of lubricating oil. Watson said that he would have thought that something was wrong if he had not had experience with him. He Knows Cars and Studebaker Special Continues Popular Altho the Big Six and Light Six are holding their own in their respective class, the Studebaker Special Six continues to be the all around popular car for every use and its sales record takes a new jump every day, according to Harry D. Riley, distributor for Studebaker cars for this district. As town and country car and for long distance travelling, the Special has made its mark and adds to its booster list continually. Considering the saving in the initial cost over its nearest competitors, plus economy in operation and durability, the Special will always be a favorite with discriminating buyers, Mr. Riley declares. There have been few cars in motor history that have made the phenomenal climb that the Special has.

E. Alexander, Jr., of the Alexander Motor Car Co., Packard distributors. Watson reported that his car had averaged 19 miles to the gallon of gasoline and on the entire trip of 1561 miles he had used but one single quart of lubricating oil. Watson said that he would have not that something was wrong if he had not had experience with the car before and knew its frugality in the use of lubricating oil. "When I first drove the new Packard and the gauge showed that in 500 miles of its first driving," said Mr. Watson, "that no oil had been used I took the car to the distributor and complained. The oil was drained from the crankcase and it measured just exactly the amount which had been put in when I first drove it away from the salesroom. So while the performance of the car on the trip up is surprising to many, the apparent lack of lubricating oil did not worry me in the least, for it this district.

Erickson and Tom Wilkinson to recover an automobile or $1000, the market value thereof, $100 damages and $100 attorney's fees. Morrison alleges that the defendants bought the car on contract, and that they have declined to make final payments. The beaver and the bee are proverbial for industriousness. But the mosquito is no sluggard. seems to be a characteristic of the light Packard." HUDSON Brief popularity is not hard to win. A car may appear to give good value for the price asked, and gain a substantial volume of buyers. But will it hold and win added prestige each succeeding year? Brief popularity is not hard to win. A car may appear to give good value for the price asked, and gain a substantial volume of buyers. But will it hold and win added prestige each succeeding year? Not unless the good APPARENT value is also a PERMANENT value, proved in the continued dependability and good performance of the car. Witness the many cars of good name, which enjoyed a forward position in the industry a few years ago, and which are today hardly considered, if indeed they are in business at all. Hudson has not only held, but each year has added to its prestige, because men know its qualities of fine performance and dependability endure for years and thousands of miles, with a minimum of expense and care. Super-Sixes that have passed their 100-thousandth mile are numerous, and thousands of them are nearing their sixth year of service. Hudson endurance is primarily due to a design that is exclusive. But it is vastly increased also by the fact that wear can always be taken up by devices for compensating adjustments. Thus it is simple and inexpensive to restore to its original mechanical newness. These are reasons why the oldest Super-Sixes are in service today. And it is why Super-Sixes always bring high resale prices. For resale value is altogether determined by the mileage remaining in a car.

VICTORY NOTES GOOD INVESTMENT Following is the notice sent out this week relative to victory notes by fiscal agency department, Federal Reserve bank of California: In view of the recently renewed interest shown by the public in United States government securities, it would be helpful to the general situation if the unsatisfied demand resulting from the large oversubscription of Aug. 1 offerings of certificates of indebtedness could be diverted to some extent into Victory notes at current market prices. Victory notes mature in less than two years and at prevailing market prices offer a most attractive short time investment. In fact, victory notes now have a maturity only about nine months beyond the new one-year treasury certificates and sell on a money basis which makes them attractive for investment of idle funds. The recent advance in price of victory notes indicates that investors realize their worth is short-time investment and that such funds in substantial vol. SAYS AUTO LEADING WAY TO GOOD TIMES Charles H. McCausland, agent for the Briscoe, sees a new era of sustained business for the automobile industry, now that prices have been stabilized. With the reduction of $200 on all Briscoe models orders are coming to the factory at Jackson, Mich., in increased volume and represent demand from practically every state in the Union says McCausland. "The industry has again demonstrated how mobile it is with its response to economic laws," says the agent. "In the days of advancing prices the automobile manufacturers did everything possible to keep costs down. The percentage of increase was less than in any other industry. Basic materials and labor were at a minimum and prices went up because costs were rising, and the two are twin brothers." Now that practically the entire industry ROB S. A. CIGAR STAND A burglar who evidently has a sweet tooth picked two locks on a show case at V. J. Patton's cigar stand in front of the Lyric theatre, Santa Ana, some time last night and stole several bars of Hershey and Bishop chocolates. Both locks were carried off by the thief. Clinton Imes found one of them in the alleyway between Bush and Spurgeon-sts. Officer C. L. Rogers made an investigation.

NEW PRICES Super-Six Now $2315 Here Even at last year's price, $3170 here, the Super-Six was the world's largest selling fine car. Essex Also Reduced to $1690 Here Both with Cord Tires, Plate Glass, etc. Today's prices are the lowest at which these models have ever been sold. This great reduction is possible because heavy sales during the Summer have exhausted old inventories, reduced overhead expense and made new materials available at lower costs. WORTH NOTING Today's prices, if taken advantage of now, mean that the purchaser of a Hudson saves $855 — of an Essex $603 — over similarly equipped Hudson and Essex only a year ago. Come and see these wonderful values today. FORNIA AUTO CLUB ROAD RANGE COUNTY Do you want TO BE able TO FEEL YOUR car is ABSOLUTELY safe WHEN you LEAVE it PARKED by the SIDE of the ROAD?
