Indianapolis has a housing shortage of 4049 dwellings in the lowrent field, a Citizen's Housing Committee survey showed today. | The survey was announced at a committee meeting at the Central Y. W. C. A. last night at which Carl H. Monsees, field service chief of the National Association of Housing Officials, described the need of low-cost housing. “Many dilapidated structures,” the survey said, “have survived the wrecker’'s ax here only because of the shortage of dwelling units in| the low-rent brackets and for no other reason.” Only 3800 Built

Population increases between 1929 and 1934, according to the sur-| vey, absorbed an over-supply of dwellings built before 1929. On the) basis of population increases since | 1934, the report continued, 4900 dwelling units were needed. In the] past five years, only 3800 new units! have been built, according to the Committee's figures.

With singing heart, vou give the throttle another nudge.

Don’t worry about that Sunday driver ahead. There's something new in the throttle—the Nash Automatic Overtake. Just press your toe— and leave him dawdling in your dust, wondering where you came from —or where you went.

THROW down your newspaper, turn off vour radio—get your

ily , ! . » family and grab your hat! From where you're sitting, the world

looks like one straight, unending ribbon of road ahead . . . in a land of perpetual spring.

Down on the streets right now is the bright and beaming face of a 1940 Nash. And just looking at it will make you feel good all over! It is—and always will be, in your Nash . . . long after other cars are parked for good.

’ tag I'hen head for a backwoods road One sweet sweep of glittering line, where the others dare not follow

it looks gay as a Mardi Gras— : . . and feel what happens. and twice as exciting. * ® . Ruts and bumps rush up to meet

your spinning wheels, but—they never seem to reach you. Your hands stay idle on the wheel.

We're asking you, with nothing but your own preferences, experi= ences, and instincts, to get behind the wheel of a 1940 Nash. For

ten glorious minutes—that’s all.

But don’t waste time staring. You belong in the driver's seat. For that's where the fun begins.

Before you start, turn on the Weather Eye to the comfort you want. (It offers new conditioned air wonders this year.)

It’s riding magic, pure and simple. A ride so smooth, so level, so silent that you might be in your easy chair at home, or sleeping in the Nash convertible bed.

It’s the new Arrow-Flight Ride © .. result of an entirely new springing combination . . . and we dare you to say you've ever experienced anything like it, or known steering that was so sure and cflortless.

Then decide if any other car today « « « of any power, weight, or wheelbase . . . can give you as much downright fun as this new, lower-priced Nash!

Just a nudge of your toe, and in one splitssecond you'll get a good idea of what a hundred-odd stampeding horses can do. Three finger flicks—and the gears are shifted. Then—a lift, a rush, a click—and a new Fourth Speed Forward lends soft wings to your ride.
