This outcome, of a case which started

Information has been received frora
F. R. Miller, that the new Terraplane,
product of the Hudson -Essex motor car
people, is an exceptionally attractive

on anything. seen ,here this year. One
of the best of -the wide range turned oat -
by the makers of the 'rerraplane is on
display in the ehavvromn of the garage

It is a ruggedly built care 'the chassis

ease of riding and safety, features stres-
sed in*. all new Hudson -Essex built pro-

to catch the eye of any one to -whom
beauty is a great factor. The ladies are
especially taken with these new models.
A new • engine, more powerful, more
rugged, gives speed and stamina and
long life.
• No modern improvement has been
overlooked. A trip to the Miller garage
will well repay anyone.
