" HOO-DYE For the Comfort Beyond the Power of Springs Soft springs, stiff springs, good roads, bad toads, high speeds, low speeds—the Hoo- Dye Hydraulic Spring Control successfully meets and masters every condition of motor travel. Constructed on a positive double acting prin- ciple, found in no other device, and combining the best features of the old fashioned snubber with the simple, powerful hydrauliccheck, Hoo-Dyes supply a long felt need of car owner and manufacturer. By cradling the car body against both shock and recoil, by aiding spring action or checking it, as required, by exercising an almost super-human touch on the exigencies of road and car alike, Hoo-Dyes bring to motoring a comfort heretofore unrealized—a comfort beyond the power of springs. ‘THE HOUDAILLE CO., 1418 West Avenue, Buffalo, N.
