The group of new Nash models has touched spark to the torch of a nation’s enthusiasm. ' At a time when the industry as a whole is well below the peak of business— —at a season of the year ordinarily not the best sales period —and though Nash production is at the highest level ever attained —still the demand from every section of the country for these new Advanced Six and Special Six models has swept sales to a point so far beyond the best previous mark that unfilled orders total 7,800 cars. Nothing that we might say or do could add the weight of a straw to this undeni- able and irrefutable evidence that men and women everywhere do see clearly in these new cars an excellence, a dis- tinction, and a value that beggar prece- dent and own no parallel. If this were not so would anyone prefer to wait for a Nash? Yet in every community leading citizens are doing just that. Happily, with increased outputunreason- able delay is eliminated for those who act with promptitude in placing orders. And deliveries will be made on the ro- tation basis which is fair to all. In honor of the record-breaking success of the new Nash models the week of October 5th to 12th is national Nash Oversold Week and we are staging a special exhibition composed of cars avail- able to us for this purpose because of the fine courtesy of recent purchasers. Your attendance is very cordially urged.
