time his connection with the General

Announcement Of the sale of the
company which is capitalized Mt 3d.

tomobilc world. Exact figures Civ
ing the price paid for the entire stock
were not made public.
The present directors, Charles r..
Jeffrey, Harold W. Jeffrey and Thorn
rs M. kcarey will continue for some
time as directors of the new company.
Under the new regime, the aggrcs-
sivc policy of expansion inauguratcd
during recent years by the Jeffrey
Company, will be carried forward on
an even greater scale.
Tho change in control it is said, will
not III the slightest degree affect the
real policies for which the .Jefrcry fam
| lily has long stood. There is nothing
in connection with the stock transfer
which smacks in the least of financial
manipulation. 1t is not merger in
any sense of the word nor are any flu
turc combination contemplated. The
men who are mt the head of the organ
ization are practical automobile men
who understand the needs of the bus
mess. They are close to the motor
public aud they will continue to insist
on the same high ideals of quality that
have built the Jcffcry Company to it's
present place of leadership.
Mr. Joe Wander Worst, distributor
for Jeffrey motor cars and trucks, was
enthusiastic over the news from Keno
sha. He predicted under the new con-
troll rapid development and further
expansion of tho Jeffrey concern,
which has been so marked in the last
several years.
Mr.. Joe VanderVOrste has Just re-
turned from Kcnosha where he was in
conference with Mr.. Charles T. Jeffrey
and Sales Manager Al Reeke, concern
ing the plans For the coming year.
nj this particular time" said Mr..
Wander Vorstc. there is nothing which
could have better effect upon the
Jeffrey organization. The remarkable
progress made by the Icffery
Company in its production of
pleasure cars and trucks will be great
ly enhanced by this new development
in the organization. The downright
goodness of Jeffrey products will con-
tinue to delight Jeffrey owners and |
look for great big things to happen in
the new organization"
Mr.. Wander Vorste was enthusiastic
in his praise of MIR. Nash who will be-
come the active head of the company
He believes that Mr.. Nash's record as
an entcrprising builder in the industry
i will continue in his direction of the
Jeffrey Company. resulting in an even
finer product which will add to the

ceive some consideration in the line Of
vestigation now going on. and the earn
ings reported from time to time show
satisfactory increases. although of late
the net has suffered as result Of the
increased cost of transportation.
That the movement is partially specu-
lative in the rails is evidenced from the
fact that the largest gains have been
made in low-priced stocks. where the op-
portunities for speculation seem to be
most promising.
Bankers and commission houses have

That the Bankers Association means to
neglect no opportunity to secure the re-
