an entirely new plant in Milwaukee whre th- new Nash four is to be produced. Production or" the four v ill i,e m full swing late this summer at which time th'. rar will be available to the public.

It is a little more than three!

ears ago since Mr. Nash took over the plant at Keno.-ha and organized the Nash Motors Co. and the growth of this company is all the more remarkable when it is remembered that during practically two of these three years the country was at war and business conditions were abnormal. Th Kenosha factory, one of the largest and best equipped in the automotive industry, in the second year under the direction of Mr. Na.sh and his associates did a volume of upwards of $4 7,000,000 worth of business. Its output for the current fiscal year Is 10,000 passenger cars and 5,000 trucks.

MAY ADD TWENTY THOUSAND TO PRIZE OF INDIANAPOLIS RACE

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind , March 20. Twenty thousand dollars more will be added to the purse offered I rize winners in the ."00-mile international sweepstakes race to be run over the Indianapolis Speedway, if a campaign Marted among local automobile concerns is successful. flcorge M. Dickson, president of the local automobil' plant, is sponsor for the campaign. He has suggested that subscriptions be given by the manufacturers and that the money collected will bo paid to th' automobile drivers on a basis of $100 for each lap in which they are out in front. The sweepstakes for the last few years has been for a purs of $5o,0 00.

I 'A Iii S. M arch 'JO. Koo d merchants here are stirring up an agitation tor the abolition of the municipal booths mattered all over the city for the ale to the public of tood and win- at less than current retaii rates in privat; stores. Those opposed to these so-called Vilgrain broths, or wooden huts, contend that the city is selling la them groceries, potatoes, wine and other supplies at prics so low as to injure commer

cial interests. 1 On the other hand M. Fiancette, I municipal councillor within whose j department these organizations lie, is strongly in favor of continuing i them and intends to ask the council , to develop them and other muncipal establishments. For this purpose it ! is proposed to contract with Canada ' for a loan of i:0.r00,O00 francs to j purchase Canadian foodstuffs for: provision in I'anv As an example of benefit which j the booths confer upon the public in helping to bring down the cost of j living, it is stated that a can of1 unsweetened miik 1 sold in the I booths, for li0 francs, for which grocers in their stores demand H.T to J.'.O francs. In the municipal; butchers booths meat is sold for 2l to :o per cent cheaper than in or- j dinary butcher stores and the municipal fish storey nre declared to I have proved a preat success. Despite these low prices, the city has derived a profit of L'J'OO.OuO francs from the booths since their institution and receipts at them have amounted to more than 110,(00,000 francs. Since this protlt is shown, those favoring the booths say they cannot be culled unfair competitors of ordinary tradesmen.

Essex Has Performance Like the Costliest Fine Cars Its World Endurance Record Has Never Been Rivaled

The most important thinß Essex has proved is that weight and size are no longer necessary to finest car quality. Its 3037 miles in 50 hours is a world endurance record. The test was official. Supervisors of the A. A. A. certified the Essex stock chassis in every detail. Never before was a car driven at top speed for 50 hours. The grind was equal to years of road use. Yet the Essex showed no measurable wear. What car, the Essex size and weight, can even attain a mile-a-minute speed, much less keep it up for 50 hours? Such Endurance as You Want in Your Car These decisive tests proved Essex not only the supreme performer of the light car field, but they showed that the moderate priced, economical Essex has such endurance and dependability as few large, high priced cars offer. Greater size could add nothing to Essex. It has the qualities, weight and size that are built to give riding comfort, solidness, distinction and smooth, quiet pace. But in addition it has fuel, oil and tire economy. And its great durability means freedom from repair costs and positive, dependable transportation.

Essex is easy to operate. Driving does not fatigue. Its quick response to the lightest touch and its smooth, restful comfort in motion, account for this. That is why so many women are Essex owners. They appreciate its safety, too. Its controls are simple and instantaneous. It makes fast time, with security, even in difficult traffic. Essex Wins On Quality Minus Useless Weight Essex won recognition on the issue of finest quality without useless weight and size. That issue is uppermost today. You will take pride in your Essex from the first. Its beauty, luxurious fittings and its performance give it distinction everywhere. And time will increase your respect for it. You will come to rely absolutely on its dependability. You will find it always ready for any demands you may make. These are reasons why Essex set a world's sales record in its first year. And orders are now so far ahead it is certain even that unrivaled mark will be surpassed this year. Thousands, realizing this, are placing their orders now. We advise that ycu do the same, to avoid disappointment.
