This tine coupe is built complete in Hupmobile's
own plants.
It is as sound and true in every important structural
detail as a closed car can be built.
In our opinion its price—made possible only by the
fact that it is manufactured by Hupmobile—singles
it out as the greatest value in the motor car market
today.
It is upholstered and finished in excellent taste; its
seating arrangements are ample for four; and, be-
neath its attractive exterior, it possesses those hardy

Falling in line with the many other
standard makes of automobiles the
Stephens Company, through their dis-
tributors, The Smith-Glines Sales
Company, have announced a price re-
duction on all Stephens Salient Six
O models. The touring car is reduced
$135, the roadster $100, and the se-
O danette and sedan $250 each.
This price reduction takes effect
immediately and according to the ex-
planation made by the manufacturer,,
it is possible by reason of the fact
that the factory is on steady produc
tion and far behind on their orders.,
O
There is absolutely no change in the
equipment of any of the models, in I
fact one or two late features have'
been added. J. P. Theisen, general
manager of the Smith-Glines Sales
Company, reports increased business
and a favorable outlook for the im-
mediate future. This is distinctly re-
ferring in the face of the current
slump in better class can business.
This impetus was also noticeable in
the attention and interest displayed
in the McFarlan car which the same
company also distributes.
