HUPMOBILE H0LDS~T?
TO PUBLIC FAVOR
Maintains Reputation for
Economy, Speed and
Durability.
"That the Hupmobile combines
the qualities which the public favor j
most in a motor car is confirmed,"
say local Hupmobile dealers, ' by a
study of the answers obtained by
the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce in response to a questipnnaire,
which showed that endurance
and economy were the most r
popular features of a car.
"The Hupmobile's reputation -for c
lurability and long life was found- c
ed by the old Model '20'?built in r
1909 and still running strong. This j
reputation was maintained by the s
Hupmobile Model '32'?a car which =
never wears out?and reaches its ^
highest point in the present -Series I
R,' which will still be giving compete
satisfaction ten years from
WW,
"Economy, too, has always been
i strop? Hupmobile asset. The simile
four-cylinder motor has given F
ligh gasoline and oil mileage?its
ight weight has added miles to tire
nileage?and as is well known,
lupmobile repair cofcts are practl:ally
nothing, even in most severe
ier*ice.
The Hupmobile has not neglected it
he other features which interest
notorists, but *t is significant to j:
lote that the strongest points of
he Hupmobile coincide so exactly "
vith the features most desired by Ll
tutomobile owners.
The list of features and the rel- D
vtive rating, as indicated by re- B
urns from twenty States covering cs
nore than thirty makes of cars, ai
ire as follows: ai
"Endurance, 15 per cent; econ- ol
imy, 14 per cent; comfort, SH P*?*
ent; price, 9V* per cent; appear.nee.
8 per cent; service 7% per p,
ent; hill climbing, 7 per cent; flex- a,
bility, 6H per cent: endorsement of
thers, 6H per cent; specifications,
per cent; speed* 5^4 per cent; ap- C|
^ointments. 5 per cent. /
"We suggest that every owner
ook this list over, and see if he
igrees with the percentages given." m

month-to-month purchases by au- lg

public for the first time, covering
the period from January 1 to the
end of April. Since this survey was
not inaugurated until 1521. there is
no basis for comparison with last fl
year's figures.
This chart shows three curves? n

past due accounts reported and the ^
total of notes outstanding reported.
In all three Items the curve from n

increaaing progress In the restora- t|
tion of a safe and sans normal. ^
Substantial Decrease. rr
The totals of past due accounts ti
and notes outaanding showed sub- ?
stantial decrease for the same tl
period thus indicating that the bed- a

Although the fundamental c?ndi- f,
tions as reflected by the above ,
figures are constructive and reas- p
suring. there are several festures t
of a less favorable character No
effort is made by reporting members
of the association to cloak or
minimise the realities of the present
situation with respect to general
business conditions. Many reports o:
from Detroit and other automobile '
centers indicate that the manufac- 8<
turing revival reported last moifth ^
has not been universally maintained.
There are, of course, concerns
going ahead with their 01
schedules, but others report further 8
curtailment of orders and cancella- 8j
tions of old releases.
Recent price revisions by vehicle 8'
makers have tended to stabilise
conditions, but this process of adjustment
cannot be completed over
night. The industry is eagerly f"
scanning the commercial horixon for
evidence of increased sales which c'
the new price levels were designed 11
to stimulate. P
