700 STAR FANS GATHER IN L. A.
Over 700 Star car owners gathered last Monday night at the Walter M. Brown Motors Inc., salesrooms, Washington and Pleo streets for the first annual gathering of Star car owners in Los Angeles county.
It was one of the largest assemblages of motor car owners ever held in America and was the second session of a similar character staged by the Brown organization for its owners.
A feature talk of the evening was delivered by Julius Dusevoir, an engineer from the Star car factory in Oakland. Dusevoir spoke at length on the mechanical features of this automobile and set forth in both an interesting and convincing fashion the underlying reasons for its mechanical excellence stressing on the Continental Red Seal Motor, the Disc clutch, easy riding springs and other features of the Star.
Later the meeting was thrown open for general discussion and Dusevoir answered questions which Star owners asked.
The remarkably rapid growth of the Walter M. Brown Motors Inc., organization in Los Angeles since this concern became Star distributors is declared by motor car students to have been unsurpassed in its rapidity by but few automotive merchandising concerns in the United States.
Starting in October, 1922, with approximately 20 employees there are now 320 men and women affiliated with Star car sales working under the direction of Brown and sales and service facilities are available in many points throughout the county.
An announcement made by E. J. Cox, associate manager of the Brown institution shows that the Hollywood branch operated by the Walter M. Brown Motors Inc. had the largest sales month in its history and exceeded the best former month in Star car sales in Hollywood by 60 per cent.

Since it has brought out the super-six Hudson has continued with the same basic ideas in chassis construction. The car has been found fundamentally right.

These two cars have caught the public fancy strongly of late. The W. E. Young Co., Los Angeles distributors, had its floors jammed with Barleys three weeks ago, but on Tuesday there wasn't one left. Twenty-five carloads of Barleys and Roamers are on the way to Los Angeles.
Next week Santa Ana will open.

It seems that Ira Vail, race driver, is thoroughly venced that the products Hudson Motor Car Co. worth buying, judging from number of automobiles built that concern that he has owed His first Hudson was 1910 vintage known as a "26". It was later replaced 1912 model "33", and from time on, Mr. Vail bought a age of more than one Hudson Essex each year.
"This is my 16th car matured by the Hudson Motor Co," said Mr. Vail, referring the 1924 Essex six just purchased by him. "I have had a training in automobile education, and it is my opinion there is no better car built same amount of money than the Hudson or the Essex."
"My experience with cars of all makes has taught many lessons, and the two racers I drove convinced me than ever that the principle the Super-six are absolute rect. I am glad to see using the Super-six patent Know that this means great performance and longer life."
One interesting use of Vail puts Hudson is that riding a racing car from place without shipping it, bothering with an extra door.
In this way, I can town one day, and in another several hundred miles next. This would be imminent if it were necessary to express shipments to be made.
According to H. R. Grover and Essex dealer, the moment of Essex Sixes is no client to meet the demands negotiations are under Harold L. Arnold to have quota increased at least 3%.

How Studebaker
THE story of Studebaker has been told by many men in many ways. Now let us tell it to you.
Studebaker growth has in late years been Motordom's sensation. Sales have mounted until last year 145,000 buyers of quality cars selected Studebakers. They paid over $200,000,000 for them.
All must realize that a new situation has arisen in high-grade cars. You who are interested should now analyze the reasons.
72-year traditions
The Studebaker principles have become traditions in their 72 years of existence. They have never wavered. In all changing conditions they have brought new luster to that name.
Men come and go, but a name like this becomes a heritage to foster and enhance. That's what we've done — we who have that name in keeping for a time.
Studebaker has always been a leader. For two generations it led in horse-drawn vehicles, now products of the past.
Most of you remember Studebaker carriages —

RADIO GREAT
HOME EDUCATOR
In addition to being a business asset to the farmer, the modern radio brings to his home the news and entertainment which his family have so long desired. Classical entertainments by skilled artists, orchestra, music, jazz bands, lectures, church services and other instructive or amusing programs are available. With a radio telephone in his home, the farmer's family is no longer isolated from the word's activities.
Rural communities and the cities are also rapidly becoming enthused with the advantages which radio brings to them.
One of the greatest of these advantages is the opportunity for broader education, which radio brings to these centers, for radio is rapidly becoming the greatest educational force in America.
The Collin B. Kennedy Co. have recently designed a handsome, delicately balanced, efficient radio set that is so simple to tune that the baby could operate it, and constrain purposes in Northern Orange County.
Motorists have known the Hudson super-six so long that there is little need to enlarge upon its qualities of performance and beauty, says the makers. The motoring world has come to its own conclusion that Hudson must always be reckoned when the fine cars of the day are mentioned.
Since it has brought out the super-six Hudson has continued with the same basic ideas in chassis construction. The car has been found fundamentally right. There have been continuous advancements, however, and Hudson today is a more economical, quiet running and smoother car than ever before.
This is the natural result of fifteen years' successful manufacturing.
Because Hudson is one of the very large producers of the automobile industry, it has been able to reduce its costs by a great number of volume-economies. The cars of today, while of the best material and standard of workmanship which Hudson has known, are sold at remarkably favorable prices.
All cars are finished in a characteristic Hudson blue. In the open cars, the upholstery is of fine hand-buffed leather. The enclosed types have textiles of fine, long-wearing qualities and the most appropriate patterns.
The new coach will be found to be roomier in its comfort, and trimmer, lower and more pleasing in its lines. It is believed that the appearance of Hudson cars will commend itself without discussion, just as the chassis assures maximum performance, ability and long life.

PURCHASES 16
HUDSONS, ESSEXES
It seems that Ira Vail, veteran race driver, is thoroughly convinced that the products of the Hudson Motor Car Co. age well north buying, judging from the number of automobiles built by that concern that he has owned.
His first Hudson was one of 910 vintage known as a model 20". It was later replaced by a 812 model "35", and from that time on, Mr. Vail bought an average of more than one Hudson of Essex each year.
"This is my 16th car manufactured by the Hudson Motor Car Co.," said Mr. Vail, referring to the 1924 Essex six just purchased by him. "I have had a thorough training in automobile construction, and it is my opinion that there is no better car built for the same amount of money, than either the Hudson or the Essex.
"My experience with racing cars of all makes has taught me many lessons, and the two Hudson racers I drove convinced me more than ever that the principles of the Super-six are absolutely correct. I am glad to see the Essex raising the Super-six patents, for I know that this means greater performance and longer life."
One interesting use to which Mr. Vail puts Hudson's is that of towing a racing car from place to place without shipping it, or even bothering with an extra driver.
"In this way, I can race in a town one day, and in another town several hundred miles away, the next. This would be impossible if it were necessary to wait for express shipments to be made."
According to H. R. Grove, Hudson and Essex dealer, the allotment of Essex Sixes is not sufficient to meet the demand, and negotiations are under way with Harold L. Arnold to have the quota increased at least 50%.

Dealers in cars which are equipped with four-wheel brakes were much disturbed this week when an item got into print, alleging that one of the cars skidded and overturned while under demonstration.
Such a thing has never happened before, if it did really happen at Buena Park, declare local dealers, and couldn't by any freak of the imagination have happened if the brakes were in adjustment. The car in fact couldn't even skid. This was simply proved in tests here on West Broadway.
It is well to repent and to pray, but it's a pretty good idea to hire a lawyer.

A Business Story
meaning to every motor car buyer
How Studebaker reached the heights
What others say—not what you say—determines your place in the long run. In every field of endeavor one must accept that fact.
We had the money, the plants, the prestige. We had the incentive of Studebaker traditions. In time we secured the men.
We told those men to build for us the utmost in fine motor cars, regardless of all costs. We pledged them our good faith and our resources.
The cost was $50,000,000
We built new factories—modern plants. We fitted them with new equipment — 12,500 up-to-date machines.
15% to conform to those standards exactly.
We invested $8,000,000 in a drop forge plant to make all our own drop forgings. $10,000,000 in body plants, to build all bodies to our standards.
We employed 1,200 skilled inspectors to see that all standards were fulfilled. There are 30,000 inspections on Studebaker cars during manufacture, before they go out from the factory.
That's the whole story
That’s about the whole story. We simply followed the never-changing Studebaker principles. We gave to our buyers the utmost—values they could not match. Then they turned by tens of thousands to Studebaker cars.
Find Out Why
People paid over $200,000,000 last year for Studebaker cars.
The result is now a demand for 150,000 per year.
Over $50,000,000 in modern plants and equipment to build the finest of fine cars.
One of these cars, built in 1918, has run 475,000 miles. That means 80 years of ordinary service. In December this car made the trip from coast to coast.
Over 750,000 of those cars have gone out. Their performance has developed a demand for 150,000 per year.
Every increase in sales brought a lowered cost, which we promptly gave our buyers. Today these fine cars are offering values which no rival can approach. They have made us the world's largest builders of quality cars.
We deserve a hearing

We deserve a hearing
Now we deserve a hearing. All who consider a car at $1,000 or over should learn what Studebaker offers. That in fairness to yourself and us. Check one by one the advantages we offer. You'll find them by the score.
Remember that 145,000 who did that last year chose a Studebaker car. There are nine chances in ten that you'll do it.
Consider our record, our accomplishments, our policies and principles. Consider that we have $90,000,000 at stake on satisfying men like you. Don't buy a car in this high-grade class without seeing what we give.
