"30 MINUTES IN A HUDSON SIX
CURED HE OF 'HABIT BUYIHG'!
jk I Found That Something NEW, Something BIG,
Has Happened In the ' owest Price Field! "
"Take it from me, I didn't know how much
I had been missing, until I got into that new
Hudson Six. Guess I had the 'other three'
habit . . . going back to the same old car
year after year. But the good looks of the
Hudson attracted me, and I found the big-
gest money's worth I've ever owned."
We invite you to drive a Hudson Six over
the route you travel every day, where you
know every turn, every bump, every stop
and start. Compare the way it rides and
drives ... with your present car or any you
may be thinking of buying. We promise
you the best 30 minutes you ever spent in
an automobile!

Gain in Quality Means
Gain in Performancei
TODAY'S automobile engines must have a gasoline
of high quality to give you the performance you ex-
pect. So again, Humble presents the motorists of
Texas with a gain in quality: improvements in Hum-
ble give you new heights of performance; and Esso
Extra is the motor fuel without an equal.
Improvement of these gasolines results from our policy of
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT: Humble technical men
are constantly experimenting, in the laboratory and on
the road, with improved products for your car. This con-
stant research results in continuous improvement of the
gasolines, motor oils and other products you get under
the Humble sign. The process of improvement is so con-
tinuous that specific improvements frequently are made
without public announcement. It is only when marked
improvements are made,
like the improvement in
quality of these fine gas-
olines, that your special
attention is called to
them.
It all adds up to this:
we promise you that you
will find Humble prod-
ucts second to none, that
you can depend on con-
tinuous improvement to
keep the quality of Hum-
ble products up with, or
a little ahead of, the per-
formance built into your
car.
To Buyers in the
Lower-Price Field
Humble offers you another
product of its policy of con-
tinuous improvement in
Thriftane, a leaded gasoline
of specified quality at thrifty
price.
