Hudson Sales Over I That of Last Year| Styles of Tcrraplune and Hudson > cars are* now considerably in excess of half the total number sold during 11)38, On March 17th, the 11)84 sales went <?ver this figure. Chester (i. Abbott, general sales manager of the Hudson Motor Car Co., who pointed! out this interesting fact today also! had some other statistics which hoi presented. / According to Mr. Abbott, "Out of 71 cities which have just reported registrations for the . first part of March, 14 cities show the Terraplano and Hudson registrations rank fourth or better. Among the cities in which Terraplane and Hudson registrations are fourth, or third, are the following: Akron, Cleveland, Knoxville, Richmond, Camden, N. J., Detroit, Minneapolis, Tampa, Salt l.ake City, Toledo, Canton, Huntington, Montgomery and Springfield." Pointing out that total shipments for the week ending March 17 were 3,865, Mr. Abbott stated, "In shipping this number of cars for the week ending last Saturday, we have a gain oT 550 per cent, over the week ending March 18, 1033. Considering the shipments made from January 1 up to! March 17, we are 265 per cent ahead of 1033. To make this more graphic,1 I may state that we shipped over 3,000' more ears during the second week of March this year than we did during; the second week of March last year, j "Naturally this indicates a gratifying sales gain and the interesting part of it is that the gains are growing, right along. ? i "These are random figures picked from reports which have now reached us, but which arc by no means complete. They represent, however, a very j good cross section of the business of | the country since the towns included are both of a farming and industrial type." quoted Mr. Abbott.
