Kenosha Supplies
Many Motor Lamps
Hall Lamp Company Doubling Capacity
to Keep United States and Foreign
Makers Supplied With Product.

Kenosha is going to contribute more
to the auto accessories this year than
ever before, as the Hall Lamp Company
which recently purchased the plant of
the Badger Brass Company, is making
plans for a very largely increased out
put. Under the management of Will
liam Anklan, former Kenosha man, the
company with big plants in both De
troit and Kenosha, is planning to double
it's output this year. The company has
contracts with many of the leading
automobile making companies in the
United States and it is rapidly extend
ing it's export business. The Hall lamps
and the solar lamps have been standard
equipment for the best automobiles
made on two continents for many years
and it is certain that more of them will
be used this year than ever before.

NASH MOTORS PRESIDENT AN
NoUNCEs POLICY.
Production Of Improved Jeffrey Six to
Continue on Increased Schedule
Throughout Present Selling
Season

An official statement has been made
by G. W. Nash, president Of The Nash
Motors Company, that a large produc-
! ton order has been issued on the JEFF
| fiery Six, and that this ear, incorporat-
| ing certain changes and refinements,
will be continued throughout the season
as the product of The Nash Motors
Company.
This is the first official declaration
of policy made by G. w. Nash, the man.
ufacturing and merchandising genius,
who has held the center of interest
since his acquisition of the big JEFF
ferry plant last September.
So much conjecture has been current
as to the probable manufacturing policy
| which Mr.. Nash would pursue that this
announcement has aroused much inter
/ est both among the trade and the gen
eral public.
| Mr.. Nash, in outlining his reasons
| for this decision, states that since his
purchase of the Jeffrey plant, he has
| examined the construction of the JEFF
ferry Six in every detail, and put it to
| every test of machine shop and road.
These tests, he says, convinced him that
/ the Jeffrey Six was one of the best
motor cars made in this country.
i Some slight. changes have been made
which Mr.. Nash says have still further
improved this car.
| In reviewing some of the points of
Jeffrey Six construction, Mr.. Nash
says: ct have been in the business of
building and selling carriages and motor
cars for some twenty-five years. But
can say frankly that I have never
known car that was better constructed
than this Jeffrey Six.
ST have personally inspected this car
in every detail Some of the things
which / learned about it surprised me
For instance it has more alloy steel in
its makeup than most American cars
Alloy steel is a superior material be.
cause of its great strength and resist.
ance to wear. But because of its great
toughness it is difficult to machine.
II is also much more costly than ordi.
nary carbon steel.
"Another unusual feature about JEFF
Gerry Six construction is the fact that
nothing but best grade white ash is
used in the bodies.
fsAfter / had satisfied myself on the
various points Of construction I tested
this. car for performance, driving il
over every kind of road. found thai

it was extremely flexible, that the SO
horsepower motor Permitted range of
speed on high from two to sixty miles
an hour.
"Then I called our engineering staff
into conference and we went over this
car together. We saw where we could
make few slight refinements which
would make it still better car. These
improvements have all been made and
I am sincere when say that I think
the Jeffrey Six is one of the best cars
built in this country today.
"We here at Kenosha are so well
pleased with the improved Jeffery Six
that we have decided to continue its
manufacture throughout the present
season. In fact we are even increas-
ing the production of this particular
model"

Foresiglit,and Courage

It has required an enormous invest
ment in plant and equipment to
prepare for this enormous produc-
ton.
The prime requisite in the automobile
industry is still foresight and cour-
age.
Mr.. WHY'S foresees demand this
year in excess of the possible
supply.
In addition to enormous investment
in plant and equipment Mr.. WHY'S
had the courage to contract long
ago for enormous quantities of raw
materials $35, 100000 worth al
ready in hand for this years
record production.
See all this reflected in the values we
have to show you in the most
comprehensive line Of cars ever
built by any one producer.
Note especially the remarkable values
represented in the Big Four at
$3.50 and the Light Six at $685..
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1917-03-15

Automobile values as at present
established are largely due to the,
foresight and courage of Mr.. John
N. WHY'S, the president OF this
institution.
He foresaw the universal use of the
automobile and had the courage
to produce quality cars in Larger
quantities than they had ever
before been produced.
Steadily increasing production made
possible savings and economies
which steadily reduced costs and
repeatedly established new values.
Eight years ago, with a net worth Of
little more than $4,000 this COM
pany produced 465 cars.
This year with a net worth of over
100000 must produce
over 100000 cars to fill our dealers
contracts.

MEXICO NOT IN
!. CLASS WITH The.
! OTHER NEUTRALS
Protests at Embargo Of
u. s. Which Acts
Against Her.

washington, Nov. 9--Ignacio Bonil-
las, the Mexican Ambassador, made
public cablegram from Rafael Me
to, assistant secretary of the Mexican
Treasury, yesterday, dealing with the
American embargo situation in it's re-
lation to Mexico and arguing that 1t
is unjust and unnecessary. The text
of the cablegram follows:
Mexico City. Oct. %, 1917.
The situation in Mexico as conse-
quence of the European war concen-
trated entirely the commerce of Med-
co with United States. While the
United States did not enter the con-
f1ict, the financial and commercial sits
uation in Mexico suffered in part only,
as regards exports to Germany chiefly
coffee, tobacco, dye woods ana fod.
der.
The entrance of United States into
the war has caused noteworthy dis
location in Mexican commerce, not as
much as regards exports, which con-
stinue with some regularity, but chief
~ because OF restrictions imposed by
the United States to its export com.
merce. While Mexico ships to the
United States petroleum, metals, cop
per, zinc, anthony and other metals
indispensable for the manufacture of
war material, and sisa1 hemp. guayule,
hides, skins and cattle, on the other
hand the United States have greatly
restricted the expectation OF articles
of first necessity for Mexico, and re-
Gently the expectation OF gold and sill
yer.
Under such conditions Mexico" has
suffered greatly from the United
States restrictions, for 1t is generally
thought that there should exist COM
plete freedom of commerce between
Mexico and the United States. Mexi-
co needs principally to import from
the United States wheat and -four, cot.
ton and cotton manufactures, nachin-
cry Of all kinds, especially agricultur-
al and mining, eIectrolytic copper in
the shape of wire and cables, manu-
featured articles of iron and steel rail-
road material and rolling stock, and
mining exploitation material
Mexico would wish that such ar
ticles could be exported freely from
the United States. Mexico proposes to
uphold its present prohibitions re-
garding the expectation of certain ar
ticles of fire necessity, but it is en-
tire1y disposed. not to place any re-
striction to the expectation OF petro-
leurn and its by-products. sisai hemp,
and other vegetable and mineral
flbers. rubber. guayule, cattle and pro-
ducts. dye woods, fine woods, and
other tropical product peculiar to
Mexico, such as coffee, cocoa. chicle
etc.
The general public opinion is to the
effect that as Mexico has no way OF
trading with countries ininical tozthe
United States and being an adjacent
neighbor of the United States. there
Is no4reason whatever for placing into
effect as regards Mexico the embar-
goes which have been decreed against
European neutrals.
