Cole Eight Increase Will Amount to" $200 It was stated this week it has been definitely decided to increase the price of the Cole Eight, manufactured by the Cole Motor Oar company, of Indianapolis to the extent of $200. effective September 1.

Factory officials admitted couple of weeks ago that an increase was forthcoming but they were not i a position to name the exact amount. In a formal statement concerning tho increased price. C. FT Henderson, sales manager of the company says: "The new Cole prices are simply dua to the increased cost of production and not because of any changes In tho models. The Cole Eight today represents what we consider to be the highest type of workmanship.

The popularity of tho cars gives up every reason to contlnus the present models. "But. i as explained before, tho ecr- sonrlng cost of materials makes It compulsory for use to do one of two things, either Increase the cost or diminish the quality.

A half-baked knowledge of this pliase of motor car mechanism often results in perplexities that otherwise well might be avoided. Cleaning and rinsing the radiator is an operation -which no motorist should neglect. It is best done by circulating city water under normal pressure through the motor jackets and radiator in the reverse' directions to the circulatory action of the pump; that is the water is forced from the bottom of the radiator to the top and from the top of the 1 il LW 5 U.11^ A 1 1 Llnj higher than we expected and that it is cvlinder jac kets to the bottom.

July and August, this year, are proving to be the big selling months. For this a harvest y-iar for everyone from the farmer throughout all lines of business to the lowliest laborer.

The fall has been shoved back Jnio summer so -far as motor car selling is concerned. This fact lias been urougut home BO fercibly to Saxon dealers in all- marts of the country that they are now Starting a sales program to be known as the Harvest campaign. Heports from the reran organization dwell upon two points with respect to business. They say that all ovet- the country people who hesitated to purchase cars last spring arc now seeit- ing them in mid-summer and also that the present crop outlook ana the general speeding up of all kinds of business have opened new sales fields for the automobile. At the Saxon factory, it is apparent that harvest time this year is going to be automobile time.

July shipments of Saxon cars -were exceptionally Sobd for a summer month and August shipments will greatly exceed the Juiy record. Dealers in various cities, especially in the middle west, are sending in rush orders for their August quota and say that the cars are sold before they are shipped from the factory. "The whole spirit of harvest time this year is one of prosperity," says Sales Manager R. C. Getsinser.

"And it is also one of judicious economy. Tne purchasers of motor cars are buying them for economic reasons. They realize that the motor car has a very definite place as a time and money saver and they are as anxious to conserve there two valuable assets as they are to save the food supply. a number of the Saxon dealers have gone into the harvest -campaign idea in an extensive -way by coupling their motor ear sales with the actual harvest of crops other novelties. window displays ano 'They are not dealers in- rural communities, either, for.

the harvest season this year is as much in the city as in the country. Wages are high and prosperity is visiting every home. In addition, the motor car this year has taekn the place of other kinds of transportation, releasing them for military purposes. The business man following the example of President Wilson's daily rides, is taking- his vacation in a motor car this year." A LONG REACH. "I thought I put that vase out of baby's reach."

Money Can Be Saved By Promptness Fifty-one makers have already increased their prices since January 1st. Former $1200 and $1400 cars now.cost $300 to $400 more than they did one month ago. Some cars advanced January 1st, which again increased the price August 1st. In the higher priced classes increases since December amount to $350 to $700. Many makers have made two advances within the past eight mouths.

Others give warning of further advances. The Hudson Super-Sixes sell at the same price that they have sold at since last December. Increasing cost of materials is responsible for higher prices in automobiles. It is affecting all makers. Soon Hudsons, too, must cost more.

Today Hudsons are sold at the same price at which they have sold for several months because they are built from materials contracted for last fall. 8 'Then material prices were lower. Increases have been rapid since then. Steel, the most largely used material in an auto- bile, is made from iron and its price is affected by iron Last December iron.sold at $30 a ton. Its average price for 25 years prior to the war was $16 a Today it is $54 a ton.

Hudson Was the Choice When Others Cost Less When cars in the lower priced grades sold at $200 to $300 less than a Hudson Super-Six, Hudson sales were greater than any other two makes of that class. Today, with no difference in price, Hudsons must continue to be. even more popular. Hudson leadership is understood by all motorists. It is explained in the Hudson Super-Six motor.

No other car has a motor similar to the Super-Six. No other car for that reason has equaled the performance of the Super-Six. Its record in the hands of almost 40,000 owners show what individuals can do even when they are not seeking to establish records for speed and endurance, No car of any mkke or size has equaled the time- record of the Hudson Super-Sis 'Special in the world's greatest hill-climb to the summit of-Pike's Peak. No automobile has yet been able to equal in either direction the transcontinental record of a seven-passenger Super-Six Phaeton which traveled from San Francisco to-New York arid back to San Francisco in 10 days and 21 hours. No conceivable test has revealed the limits of a Hudson Super-Six stock car or stock chassis.

No individual use of the war has yet taxed it to its limit. Hudson Sets New Records on the Speedway The too, has failed to exhaust Hudson Euper-Six The special to meet those conditions, but reserving the same principle that accounts for endurance in the cars, did not reach the limit of Hudson endurance. They did establish the American Speedway record for 200 miles at an average speed of 104 miles an The Hudson Super-Six racers made more records in their campaign of racing than any team of cars the industry'has produced. These records are made only'to indicate what you may expect from a Hudson Super-Sis. You don't want a racing car.

The car you buy isn't suitable for It is made'suitable for the kind ot service you want. That service means endurance-the kind that does not call for frequent adjustments, repairs and overhauling. It is the kind of car that you can use day after day and month after month with a reliance as to its performance that increases only as you continue its use. Just Now Hudsons Cost Less During this time when prices are being readjusted on account of increased cost of production, you t-nu buy a Hudson Super-Six, at the same price.you pay for former cheaper cars. If you wait, you run the risk of not being able to get such an advantageous price.

When present material supplies are exhausted and cars must be built from materials "bought in the. present market, then the Hudson Super-Six must be priced in. comparison to greater cost on ttte standard established by other cars. LORD AUTO CO. Lincoln, Nebraska Mr.

R. H. Richardson Says His Car Enables Him to Close More Sales. Can Cover Wider Territory and See More Customers Each Day. Scientific salesmanship, as practiced by some of the leading 1 business men of the country, has been responsible for truly, remarkable records.

eBating his own sales records is his work, recreation and favorite pastime--he likes it. "It couldn't be done without my car." says Mr JUchardsori. "With my Studebaker roadster I do not have to de- "pend upon cars or trains to keep my appointments. I can cover a wider territory, see more custoiBers. and do it quickly.

It is only natural, then. that I can sell more goods each day. "My Studebalcei- roadster is a bis. impressive car and surelv aids much to the prestige of the firm I represent.
