How the New Hudson,

You've seen them flashing by in all their
sparkling color —those trim, gorgeous
New Hudsons with the low. streamlined
silhouette.
But have you really examined one of
these amazing cars? They are the big
news in the automobile world today!
Hudson, al way i known for great forward
steps in the development of the auto
mobile, and for efficient use of motil e
power, is again ’way out ahead with a
motor car that hits a new high in efficient
use of space—that makes a greater per
centage of its total space actually avail
able for your use and comfort.
When you take a close look, you’ll find
that Hudson, through the use of a new,
exclusive “stap-down” zone, reclaims so
much usually wasted sjxce that this
sensationally efficient car gives you more
useful interior room than you’ve ever
before experienced in an automobile
This new kind of motor car has a sturdy
foundation structure surrounding the
paseeuger compartment, which permits
the floor to lie recessed down within the
base frame so that you step r/wn when
I2B S. Main Phone 207-W
entering. 1 his makes s|ace between
frame members, which is usually wasted,
available for use inside the car.
Seats can thus be lowered to harmonize
with the new, lower top. and by stepping
down into Hudson, which is only five
feet from ground to top, you get more
head room than in any other mass
produced car built today!
And how about sooting room? Hudson’s
new design reclaims space formerly taken
up by wheel housings and protruding
fenders. This is accomplished by placing
rear seats ahead of the rear wheels, in
a zone unrestricted by wheel housings.
\s a result, rear seats are 15 inches wider
in this car that is only little more than
four inches wider over-all. Both rear and
front seats extend the full width of the
body, giving Hudson the roomiest scats
in any American-made car! Hudson’s
use of the “step-down” xone and unique
seating arrangements are illustrated in
the sketches that follow

Maybe it was because last Thurs

anyway Bluffton’s usual Monday
night rain skipped this week—for
the second time this summer—and
the boys celebrated the occasion

big patch all nicely in tassel
warm summer days sending crowds
to the Buckeye days and Harmon
field nights—that’s Bluffton in July.
The Wengers are home—Fred and
his wife and son Robert and another
son Richard and wife who started
early this month on a 5,000 mile
motor trip to Fairbanks, Alaska. It’s
rough and tough, that 500 miles of
so-called road from Edmonton,
Canada north to Dawson Creek
where the 1,500 mile Alcan highway
begins. The road bears little
resemblance to modern hard-surfaced
highways and jagged rocks and
boulders take a terrific toll of tires
and springs, not to mention axle
deep mud. After traversing 140
miles of the route they turned back
and arrived here Saturday night. En
route the party stopped at Yellow
stone and Glacier parks and visited
Banff and Lake Louise, among the
top scenic spots of the west and
northwest.

And the Arthur Amstutzes back
from vacation—they started on a
motor trip to California but decided
to stop at the Black Hills in the
Dakotas rather than make the long
hot drive across the western plains
in mid-July.
And to add to our summer travel
ogue, there is A D. Wells back
from the Democr itic convention at
Philadelphia last week where he had
credentials to -go anywhere in the
big convention hai 1 by virtue of the
badge which he wre as assistant
sergeant-at-arms. The credentials

Also lucky at the Philadelphia
convention was D. W. Bixler visiting
in the city at the time. With the
convention hall mimed and admit
tance by ticket mily, Bixler dropped
into a nearby au litorium where do

transmitted by t» evision. A chance
acquaintance, how ever, with an extra
ticket made it sible for the Bluff
ton man to get i ito the main show
and see the convention in person.
Sorry it’s necessary to mention it
—that vandalisn that has been
going on at Buckeye park. Last
Saturday night was particularly bad
when a group— vportedly adults—
committed wanto i acts of destruc

ed by the Comrlunity Sportsmen’s
club as a recre: tion spot open to
the public. It is a fine gesture on
the part of tht club which has
provided the park with modern
conveniences am looks after its
maintenance. W know of no more
ideal spot for sijninier picnics and
outings and tho e who accept its
hospitality shouh help to keep the
park the in vitin spot which the
club has intended it. Some time ago
Bluffton’s public rest rooms in the
town hall were closed because of the
acts of a small minority who have
no appreciation if privileges when

sters sleeping out in the backyard at
Ralph Reichenbach’s on Riley street
these summr nights and enjoying it
hugely. Among the group are Jim
my Berry, Roger Edwards, young
Ralph and Eddie Reichenbach and
also Don Montgomery, son of Clif
ford Montgomery of Ft. Recovery’, a
former Biufftonite.
Mrs. Eliza Spangler, 76-year old
Bluffton woman was the oldest mem
ber of the jury which heard the
Washington Philpot manslaughter
trial in the Allen county common
pleas court last w’eek. Instead of
making daily trips from Bluffton to
the county seat, she decided to pack
a bag and stay in Lima overnight.
She’s doing pretty well—that 1 fl
yea old Guernsey cow owned by
John Smith, Bluffton Route 2. Fresh
last summer on August 5, she was
fresh again last Sunday. Just to
add to her record, she had had
several sets of twin calves, which
at today’s livestock prices should
make her owner happy.
Top-flight officials of the Nickel
Plate went thru Bluffton Friday
afternoon at 5:20 o’clock on a special
train powered by one of the road’s
new diesel locomotives. Heading the
group was J. W. Davin, president of
the line. They were enroute from
Cleveland to St. Louis. The trip
was said to be a routine inspection
of the company’s property. From
St. Louis they swung around on the
return trip through Chicago.
Some Bluffton area farmers like
the federal parity price setup—and
some don't. We found it out from
bouquets and brickbats that came in
following an item that appeared on
the subject in this column two weeks
ago. However, no one seems to
know how it works—and apparently
no one is particularly interested. One
farmer says “So long as they do not
put hogs down to $2.50, wheat at
40 cents and everything else accord
ingly except the things we buy, then
close the banks an make life miser
able for everyone, we farmers are
not worrying about the exact dist
ance from the backdoor to the poor
house—neither should you.”
Salesmen travelling by airplane
dropping in—or more literally drop

One landed at the Bluffton airport
last week to call on the Triplett
company. Flying in a rented Piper
super-cruiser accompanied by his
wife, he said he could cover in sever
al days his territory in New Yoi%
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. It
formerly required several weeks by
automobile. The salesman, Reed
Estabrook from the Northern In

enthusiastic about the possibilities of
