Things That Count in
Moderate Priced Closed Cars

The Coach is a Hudson-Essex in-
vention. It was created to provide
closed car comforts at little more
than open car cost.

Closed cars, on high-grade chassis,
were too costly for most buyers. So
a revolutionary thing was done.

An entirely new closed body design
that eliminated all the old, costly
manufacturing methods was in-
vented. And production on a scale
unknown in the closed car field was
started. It brought closed car com-
forts within reach of all.

The Coach is durable. More than
40,000 owners are proud of it. It has
a simple and sturdy beauty. There is
ample and comfortable carrying
space for passengers and luggage.
Body rumbling noises are totally
absent. Doors and windows stay
tight fitting.

The Coach is built for service. On
either the Hudson or Essex chassis it
is ready always for any use.

These are the essentials of a moder-
ate priced closed car.

best use to which this great machine
of flesh and blood, of soul and brain,
can be put, is to deal with the do-

[ the adequate support of those move-
meats and institutions upon which
the cultural and social well-being of
the Jews of this country depend:
I Much, of course, is being done in that'
direction already, especially in the'
larger Jewish communities of the
United States, and particularly in
those cities where the local philan-
thropic and cultural efforts hay been
federated. The number of such ci-
ties, however, is relatively small, and
the support they give to "outside"
institutions and movements is neg.

The smaller communities, free
from local poverty, where each and

ly, if at all, towards the maintenance
of national institutions and move- !
ments. Not because of unwilling-
nese, not because of niggardliness,
not because of indifference to Jew-
ish needs. On the contrary, from
my intimate knowledge of conditions'
throughout the country, I find that'
in the smaller communities there is
the same order for Jewish service as
is apparent in the larger communi-
ties. The records of the American
Jewish Relief Committee bear elo-
quent testimony to that effect. States
like Virginia, Kentucky, North and
South Carolina, Alabama, among
many others, have raised generous
sums for war relief. Why? Because
the problem was visualized for them,'
was brought to their attention
through this great organization, and
they were informed as to the pro-
portion that they would be expected
to raise in order to meet the budget .
of relief and reconstruction.
Smaller Communities Uninformed.
If the problems of American Jewry
were visualized for them, if they
were given some idea of the money
required to net them on a solid finan-
cial basis, and what proportion of
the budget they would be expected
to raise, I have every confidence that
the money would be raised in these
lesser communities with the same
alacrity as the sums required for war
relief were raised and with the same
understanding of the need, the same
conception of individual responsibil-
ity. Those national institutions
whose representatives made periodic
tours of the country receive a cer-
tain degree of support from the Jews
of the smaller communities. But it
is meager support, at best, because
of the haphazard nature of the col-
lections, and because there is no
campaign of education preceding
these collections. Nor is any attempt
made to visualize the problem as a
whole for the Jews of the country, to
make them understand the extent of
the need, or to give them any con-
ception of their individual responsi-
bility. Institutions that have no field
representatives do not receive even
this meager support from the Jews
of the smaller communities.
The larger communities have some
idea of the problem, obtained from
the Jewish press, from their contacts
with the main currents of Jewish
life. That is why the major support
of national institutions and move-
ments comes from them. Yet even
their information is inadequate. How
