eA 24%.% Won Away From A Higher Price Owners Who Will Have No Other Car 11,000 Owners Rate Hupmobile Efficiency ERE is a startling glimpse of what is going on below the surface in automobile buying. Our service system statistics show that 24 2/10 per cent of Hupmo- bile sales are made to men and women who have used higher priced cars, We knew we were winning away great numbers who had previous- ly paid more. We have known it for years. The Hupmobile has always held its sales on a qual- ity basis. But these statistics were a gratify- “ing surprise even to us. Consider what they mean. The multi-cylinder car has never presented its claims more aggres- sively than it is presenting them now. The Hupmobile stands out dis- tinctly as an exponent of the old- er, simple, four-cylinder principle. Its market goes on steadily grow- ing, and 24 2/10 per cent of that market is coming to us from the field of higher price. We know also that 50 8/10 per cent of Hupmobile owners will have no other car. Butwe know, in addition, something still more important to you. We know exactly what 11,000 owners think of every phase of Hupmobile construction. We know what they think of its lugging power, its nimbleness, its fle: ty, get-away, its high- gear work. And these 11,000 opinions, tab- ulated and reduced to a percent- age basis, register a rating of 99% for all-around Hupmobile effi- ciency. No such thing as this has ever been made possible by any other car. It is clinching, convincing and conclusive. It proves that Hupmobile owners know that the Hupmobile daily outdoes cars that have more cylinders, or cost more money.

Those among them who delve in his- torical research may be inclined to cool the ardor of condemnation as they reflect that it was owing to the desire to be rid of a wife that Henry the Eighth estab lished the right of divorce in England at the same time that he established the Protestant religion as the national Eng- lish faith. Without the prompting of his desire for divorce it is reasonable to hold that there would be no Established Church and that the English nation would to-day be crossing itself and tell- ing its beads, and that the United States would be sending to Rome to have its thinking done. Our dear Episcopal brethren may well be excused if sometimes, in the privacy of the chamber, with upturned eyes and fervid voice they let a prayer of thanks giving ascend for that royal divorce of some four hundred’ years ago, seeing that their very. existence as an order is but a consequence of its demand, A good tree bringeth forth good fruit.
