May Hangs Up Another Record. May hung up another record for Nash production and sales! The month just ended showed a gain of 44,3% over the sales record of May,; 1925 and. was the twenty-first congecutive month, with one exception that Nash production and sales exceeded the figure established in the same month of the previous year. “In connection with the Nash sales and production record for May,” said E. H. McCarty, general sales manages of the Nash Motors Company, “it is§ interesting to note that although 1925 ‘was the biggest year in Nash history, 'we have built and shipped more carg in the first five months of this year from. January 1 to May 31 than werg built and shipped in the first eight ‘and one-half months of last year— January 1 to September 15. Thig is 14,419 more cars than were producsq ed by Nash Motors in the entire yeap 1924. : 1

“The Nash dealer contract year begins [September 1 and in the ning months from that date to May 31 Nash Motors has built and shipped the dealer organiation 101,402 cars?”

Who Buys Automobiles?

More cars are sold to foremen, machinists, mill-workers miners, and laborers, than to any other census classification, according to an analysis made by the Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company and publishéd in a recent issue-of the Paige-Jewett “Radiator.” The records are based on the combined sales of Paiges and Jewetts throughout the United States, and show some interesting results. The ranking of the various occupations in some cases is surprising. :

The classification of foremen; machinists, and others listed in the foregoing, buys 13.2 per cent of the card and comprises 23.8 per cent of the business population of the -country, according to census figures; while architects comprising only two-tenths of one per cent of the business population buy 2.2 per cent of the cars. Relatively- therefore architects arg greater buyers than the class of workers who buy motor cars. ‘ln quantity the second largest classification is merchants who arg credited with 10.7 per cent of the cars purchased through comprising only 3.9 per cent of the business popu--lation.

MOREHOUSE GIVES PLAN TO PROTECT PEOPLE FROM WILD-CAT PROMOTER American Bankers Association Official Who Has Expood ~ Fraudulent Schemes for Robbing Savers Draws Up Set of Rules to Foil Crooks. By W. R. MOREHOUSE, iy ~ Publis Retations Commission, American Bankers Assesiation. : ARTICLE NO. IV - 1 THE solution to the great problem of protecting savings |4. depositors from losing their money in fraudulent schemeg is largely in the hands of our bankers. If they will co-operate

with those who save they can make it hard fox these plunderers to continue business,, Hasten the day when our bankers without exeeption will gladly welcome interviews with depositors who contemplate making investments, will urge an investigation or recommend in the stead of littles known securities investments of unquestioned responsibility. In every case where customersy call at the bank excited and nervous over some scheme where by investing a few hundred dolla.m they expect to make thousands any banker will at once sense the situation. _ The banker knows that the depositor is being rushed off his feet, with “Hurry, hurry and

get in on the big clean-up!” and it remains for the banker to caution the depoBitor against such tactics. In order to prevend this all that eur bankers have to do is to suggest that their cuss

tomers make it @ rule always to bring: high-pressure salesmen to the bank to be interrogated regarding their promotions. This will break up sales nine times out of ten, for high-pres-sure salesmen fmwariably avoid being ,questioned too eclosely by bankers ‘who know investments., ; Ruies-to Follow Our bankers should urge this imvestment slogam: “Investigate before ‘you invest. Comsult your banker first,” and so indelibly impress it on the minds of their depositors that they will always be guided by their banker’s advice im making investments. ‘Salient points which should be kept before the investing depositor are:

(1) There are three cardinal points te all good investments, namely safety of principal, certainty of income and salability. ' : (2) Safety of principal is more important than a high yield; the promise of big returns is usually a sign of a risky speculation. (8) It is like taking a leap in the dark to invest in promotions which are an unknown quantity and for this reason a thorough investigation should always be made. (4) It is morally wrong, if not criminally so, for any person to invest in any proposition he feels is ‘a skingame, or which is tainted by trickery or fraud or opens the way for a favored few to “get in on the ground fioor,” .clean up and get out from under before the scheme collapses. Usually the depositor finds he is' not imn on the ground floor, there is no chance for him to clean up before the scheme collapses and s 0 he leses all that he has invested. caen e i

(5) It a promotion is as good as claimed, it would not be necessary for Aigh-pressure salesmen to resort to all sorts .of questionable methods, it would net be necessary to rush a viectim off his feet and sign him up before he could interview his banker, but he oould be given time to consult others before investing. (8) The only reason high-pressure
