JEFFERY SIX IS
POPULAR IN EAST
J. A. Bentz, of Bentz Lands
Auto Co., Claims Plenty of
Business For 1917


According to ]. A. Bentz, of the
Bentz-Landis Auto Company, the new
Jeffery Six has found wide favor
throughout the east and especially
here in Harrisburg and vicinity.
while I understand that Mr.. Nash
has virtually doubled Jeffery produc-
tion," says Mr.. Bentz, 1--WE have never
been able to keep up with our orders.
The 5S-horsepower Jeffery Six found
instant favor upon its first arrival in
the east, and the cumulative adver-
tising of the rapidly increasing list of
satisfied owners has steadily increased
our sales volume"
II think one of the biggest contribut-
ing factors to the popularity of this
car in Harrisburg is its flexible range
OF power and its ability as a hill
climber"
''The rather high prevailing price of
gasolene makes fuel economy a quail
ity greatly to be desired in the auto
mobile and repeated test made by our
selves and Jeffery owners have
demonstrated that the Jeffery Six is
one of the most economical six-cylind-
er cars on the market
$ Growing appreciation for a car
that is comfortable in all seasons has
recommended the Jeffery Sedan to a
great many of our customers. The
mere fact that Sedan top is designed,
made complete and correctly fitted to
the body, insures the car against
rattles and creaks that are associated
with poorly fitted tops
This Jeffery Sedan has been pro-
nounced by many owners the ideal
family car because it lends itself so
readily to every social and business
need"
When summer comes the top is
quickly dismounted leaving a standard
Jeffery Six touring car. Many subur-
har RI Ill
toned to drive into their work dur
ing the pleasant weather months and
have commuted by train during the
winter, have purchased Jeffery Sedans
and are driving to their offices all the
year round"
One of the busiest spots at the auto
mobile show this week is the display
of Jeffery cars. Since the announce
ment last summer that c. w. Nash,
former head of the General Motors
Company, was directing a new organ
ization bearing his own name, which
had purchased the great Jeffery fac
tory at kenosha, Wisconsin, this has
been one of the most discussed topics
in the automobile industry.
The record of c. w. Nash, both as a
manufacturer and as q merchandiser
OF hlgh-grade motor cars in large
quantities is we'll known throughout
the United States The combination
of this mans ability with giant fac
tory, which covered 100 acres of
ground, with thirty-two acres of floor
space, equipped with every type of
modern machine and manned by 5000
skilled mechanics, is most significant.
1t is generally assumed that Mr..
Nash will follow the same large pro-
duction tactics which won him such
signal success in his capacity as presi-
dent of the General Motors Company.
Already great additions have been
made to the factory. A gigantic new
foundry has been built-one of the
most modern foundries in the country.
The well-known Nash methods of pro-
sressive production are rapidly be-
ing introduced.
1t is significant that no stock of
this company is sold on the open mar
ket. At the time of the announce
ment of the formation of this COM
pany. it was learned that all securities
had been eagerly snapped up by pri-
vate. subscription before the formation
OF the company was made public.
