"Never have we had so much reason to appreciate the Thanksgiving season as this year. As distributors of the Hudson we are selling the best car that runs on four tires. The Hudson has no competitor worthy of the name an anything near its price. That is why it is first, and there is no second. Next year we are going to do even better than this." - P.E. Stuyvesant, The Hudson-Stuyvesant Motor Co., Cleveland. - Hudson Triangle Vol.5 No.21 from November 20, 1915
"The Hudson-Stuyvesant Motor Company, Cleveland, Ohio, will erect a four-story building at 2012 Euclid Ave, which will be devoted to Hudson sales and service. The contract price is $49,000. The Samuel Austin & Son Company has the contract. The walls are up now to the first story. 'We expect to occupy the new quarters about the middle of March,' writes President F.E. Stuyvesant." - Hudson Triangle Vol.5 No.29 from January 15, 1916 ~ Editor's Note: Note that the original article mentions 2012, which I believe was a typo and should read as 2002.
"Cleveland show just closed. The Super-Six was a tremendous success. Twelve thousand visitors daily and most of them came to see the new Hudson car. We believe that we could sell the allotment for our entire territory at retail." - The Hudson-Stuyvesant Motor car. Co. - Hudson Triangle Vol.5 No.32 from February 5, 1916.
"The Hudson-Stuyvesant Motor Company, Cleveland, has news from David B. Gibson, expressing complete satisfaction with his Hudson purchase. Gibson writes in part: 'I cannot refrain from taking this opportunity of telling you what splendid service we had from the Hudson service stations on the entire 4,000 miles we covered on our recent trip. It was especially gratifying because the car was bought without any written guarantee - nothing but your assurance that we would get real servicek and we certainly have had it. You may be interested to know that Mrs. Gibson drove the Hudson during the entire trip with the exception of about 400 miles, and because of the necessity of my giving attention to business matters wherever we stopped, she was compelled to look after the car most of the time. This, however, did not entail one bit of hardship, and she often refers to it as a great pleasure, all of which, of course, it to the credit of the Hudson and its efficient organization." - Hudson Triangle Vol.5 No.34 from February 19, 1916
No Time To Eat - "We have hardly had time to take our meals since receiving the first Super-Six that we put on exhibition at the Cleveland auto show. Our booth was crowded the entire time that we were there. We booked more orders during the auto show that we ever did before or ever since I have been in the automobile business. After we came back from the show and placed the car in the show room, we have been just as busy as we were during the show. I have put on two extra salesmen, and we are still unable to see over 10% of the prospects that we now have. I believe that we could sell all the cars that are allotted to us for the entire territory in the city of Cleveland." - 'The Hudson-Stuyvesant Motor Car Co., Cleveland, O. ~ F.E. Stuyvesant' - Hudson Triangle Vol.5 No.35 from February 26, 1916

"F.E. Stuyvesant, head of the Hudson-Stuyvesant Motor Car Co., Cleveland, Ohio, is the owner of one of the fancies Pomeraniun pups in the "Buckeye State" of which he is extremely proud. In fact he thinks so much of the little canine feller that he has named him "Super Six" and designated him the official "Mascot" of the Cleveland Hudson establishment. - Hudson Triangle Vol.6 No.16 from October 14, 1916

Four in One Family Buy Hudsons - "Four members of the Kohn family, Cleveland merchants, have one after another purchased Super-Sixes. They are D.S., Joseph, J.W. and William Kohn. Each new Super-Six has been bought on the performance of the car for the members of the family who first got one. J.N. Wolfinger, of the Hudson-Stuyvesant Motor Car Co., at Cleveland, made all four sales. He says the four Kohns are mighty proud of the little fleet of Hudson cars." -

1917 Cleveland Show is Unusually Attractive - The 1917 automobile show at Cleveland, Ohio, which ran from December 31 to January 6, attracted vast crowds which marveled at the brilliant exhibit of cars staged amid rich scenes of midieval days. The big Coliseum revealed a riot of color and quaint designs symbolic of the splendors of the Moorish Temples of Grands, illuminated by 700 delicately shaded Arabian lamps. The exhibit of the Hudson-Stuyvesant Motor Car Co., distributors at Cleveland, is declared by unprejudiced visitors to the Cleveland show to have been surpassingly fine. Mr. Stuyvesant speared no pains or expense to stage the Hudson Super-Sixes in a setting of refined and charming dignity. His booth was thronged with admirers throughout the week, sales were numerous and new prospects and friends were made by the score. Systematic follow-up methods adopted by Mr. Stuyvesant give promise of excellent business results. - Hudson Triangle Vol. No. from January 27, 1917
"The recent lockout declared by the Building Trades Employers' Association in Cleveland, briefly interrupted the enlargement operations of the Hudson-Stuyvesant Company, distributors of Hudson Super-Sixes for that territory. It was soon adjusted, however and work has resumed on the new building." - Hudson Triangle Vol. No. from March 24, 1917
