If man handles a thousand cars a
year and makes $40 apiece on them

SO you see how it is. The Carl H.
Page company is considerate of its
customers. 1t thinks the latter had
rather draw a check for $1,700 than
for Sl,695, so they get that privilege.
The Page company must do something
with the difference. Maybe it pays

This is the old time stuff of getting
away with it, That extra profit the
man makes may be nothing to ignore.
But isn't ii just n little bit rough on
the buyer to take money away from
him without giving anything in re

The Cleveland situation Is certainly
worthy of attention. There are six
dealers, two of them charging appar-
emily cost on freight and handling
and yet delivering a car complete to
their customers. Two others charge
slightly more and say they Just break
even at that. A fifth charges still
more and says that at the outside he

NASH TO BUILD
ALL KIND TRUCKS
Full Line of Commercial Ve-
hicles Will Soon Be
Ready. ,ds.

In addition to his well-known ex-
perience as Il manufactures of high
grade motor cars on q Quantity"
scale, G. W. Nash who heads the
Nash Motors company in the capacity
OF president ana general manager, has
also established worldwide reputa-
tion as builder OF motor trucks. II
is therefore assured that the NAM
moth factory at Kenosha. which is
already so thoroly equipped with the
modern machinery necessary for the
manufacture of trucks and automo-
bilcs in large quantities. will devote
considerable space to the manufao-
ture of II complete line OF CONNER
clal vehicles.
Mr. Nash's choice Of plant is sgnifi-
cant. The Jeftery factory, the pres
cnt site of the Nash Motors company
covers one hundred acres OF ground,
with 80 acres under roof. While tho
Ieflcry policy was never ono of large
production In the Nash interpreta-
tiuu OF the phrase, nevertheless this
factory easily lends Itself to greatly
increased manufacturing plans. AL
ready impressive enlargements which
have been mado under the new
regime, indicate that Mr.. Nash's plans
are laid for greatly increased out
put OF both pleasure vehicles and
trucks.
II Is known that this company will
manufacture n complete line of trucks
ranging from rapid transit delivery
car TO the famous Jeffery quad
which has recently made such SEN
sauou in army circles, doing duty
along the Mexican border and on the
European front This truck has been
adopted 10y 23 different governments
As its name implics the quad is of
the four wheel drive type. and can ne
gotatc with capacity loads, roads
which are impossible for n two-wheel
drive truck For this reason 1t has
been a great faNorite in those indus
tries which present difficult hauling
problems, such as are found in the oil
fields, in the mining districts and in
the lumber industry.
Countless dealers. anticipating that
Mr.. Nash viii materially increase the
production Of the Jeflery Quad. have
been bosieging the sales department
with applications for territory.
