NASH SUCCESS.

World-wide Tributes.

THE NEW "400."

Kenosha, Wis., Feb. 16th.-Let- ters and telegrams of congratula- tion, and personal remembrances came to Charles W. Nash from all points of the compass, recent- ly, when he rounded out his 'sixty- fifth year of active service to a busy world. But, delighted as this robust and kindly leader of | America industry was with these! tokens of personal esteem, they were totally eclipsed by an oficial business tribute which arrived at about the same time and which brought with it proof of his great industrial success.

It came in the form of an official report from the highest tribunal of the American automobile in- dustry, revealing that The Nash Motors Company has risen from ninth to fourth placa among na- ilonal automobile manufacturers, not lacluding Ford, In the last six months of 1928, and since the bringing out of its new "400" Series cars,

These official statistics, cover- ing the automobilo year which runs from July to July, are based on the dollars and cents business done by the various companies.

In this instance, they show that for the first six months of the oficial fiscal year, (July 1st, 1928 to January 1st, 1929) the univer- sal and enthusiastic demand for the new Nash "400" Series cars has given Nash fourth position in the world's greatest industry and has brought about that dramatic elimb from a place ninth in the American 1st a year ago.

The announcement serves to back officially the great individual sales record which sent Nash to first sales place among all six cylinder cars in Greater New York for the entire year of 1928 and second only to Chevrolet in this highly competitive district.

And in foreign markets of the world Nash success has kept pace na inttested to by the following 1928 compilations:

In Hungary Nash was 4th of all imported cars for the entire year; Nash was first for October and November in Prague; 2nd in Stockholm in November; and, also in 2nd place in November at the Balearic Islanda,

In a nutnber of additional im- portant sales centras, Nash led all the sixes in the December sales and in several renched second position among cars. Nash popu- Jarity has gone soaring in all parts of the world.

"I am not interested in creating Krest manufacturing volume re- cords for the, sake of the records themselves," Mr. Nash said to- day in commenting on the national report, the gratification lies in the fact that these records come As a result of merit in the Nash product. The Nash Motors Com- pany never has and never will push through great volumes of cars and, force them on dealera in order to show high figures, But an interested in success for the entire Nash family-factory workers, distributors, denlers, salesmen and everyone indentified with our organization and in serving the automobile public in the best possible manner.

"This record spells the biggest success нo far attained by the Nash organization. It also in dicates. public recognition of the quality in this '400' Serica cur, which I know to be the nearest one-hundred percent. automobile that has ever been built.

"In these new type automobiles, we have given motorista our supreme effort toward motor car perfection' at moderate cost. Na- turally, it is a great personal grati- Réation to me to have this proof of the American public's appre- clation and support."

WAS IT NECESSARY?

After remonstrating with lady motorist for infringing civic by-laws, and giving her hints on driving, a traffic policeman in Huddersfield (England) discovered that tho Jady was Miss Violette Cordery, the world-famous motorist,

Built well-

and wisely

IT is not enough to build well we must build wisely.

So Morris studied conditions.

Morris built a bigger car, with high clearance for the road that dwindled to a trail. Sturdy suspension, deep springing on a 56 in, wheel track to ride where there was no road at all. A higher-powered engine to climb gradients more fit for mules than motors, each detail of its design to ensure a smooth, high output of power in all conditions of climate. Above all, a job that, from wheel to wheel, would be so reliable, so trustworthy, that your mind would be casy a thousand miles from a garage..

This is the car that Morris, Europe's greatest automobile producers, have built for you. A universal car that has earned universal confidence.
