JEFFERY SIX" |S
 MADE BY NASH
Former President of General
 Motors Company Heads New Company.

c. w. Nash, formerly presi- dent of the General Motors Company and probably one of the best known figures in the automobile industry, is now at the head of the Nash Motors Company of Kenosha, Wis.,, builders of the famous Jeffery "Six" pleasure cars and trucks.
 Few motor car plants in the world are as we'll equipped to build strictly factory made cars on quality basis as the great factories of the Nash Motors Company. This plant covers 100 acres of ground and has 32 acres under roof. It employs 5000 skilled mechanics and Jeffrey cars are built 93 per cent complete in this factory.
 The Jeffrey "Six" has creat- ed a sensation at all the auto mobile shows where it has been exhibited and is much in favor in Arizona where it has been introduced.
 McArthur Brothers whose main office is in Phoenix, with branches at Tucson, Douglas and Bisbee, are the Arizona distributors for the Jefery and Chas. A. Pope. Their repre- sentative will be in Williams next Monday and Tuesday to place an agency here.
 MT. Pope says that the Jef- fiery car will make the owner feel proud in any company, both as to- looks and perform ance and has features that will appeal to the ladies, especially the easy control and the emer- gency brake which is located on the transmission and will stop the car with the slightest pressure, in fact Mrs. Cass Redewill of Phoenix recently stopped and held the Jeffery with a twine string tied to the emergency brake on Papago Hill.

"Curley" Owens has been found to have the most perfect physique of all the men from Arizona.

Sammies In Luuuon

Not since the days OF the Diamond
Jubilee has London seen such crowds
~ thronRed the streets to welcome
an advance guard Of U. 8. soldiers
last month. The Overseas edition OF
tho Daily Mail says:
All London was out In the streets
on Wednesday morning to cheer the
American soldiers who marched
through the town to the sound OF
music provided by the Guards bands.
The crowds surged up suddenly
magically-from everywhere.
From every tall flagstaff In the
west end the Stars and Stripes rat
tied and tapped. Starred and striped
were the windows and the balconies,
starred and striped were the buses,
the taxicabs, the horses, starred and
striped were We all-and nightly
proud Of It.
Most of the men topped the six
foot measure. They looked tough as
twisted wire, and sll-or nearly all
Of them prenaturally grave, and
solemn as judges. They were not
playing at soldiers, the mien of them
made that clear enough. Yet their
gravity was almost comical until you
watched their faces closely, noted
the twinkle In their eyes, and OBJ
served with almost . jump of sur
prise) the gleesome wink and the
nearly perceptibls softening Of the
grim lines around the mouth.
The climax Of the wonderful march
came when Buckingham Palace was
reached. 1t was not only that here
popular enthusiasm reached Its high
est expression, that the crowds were
densest-even the white marble
sanctity was clustered black with on
lookers-but also there In an open
space between the Memorial and the
center gate Of the palace the King
was standing to welcome them and
with his Majesty was Queen Alexan-
dra, wearing miniature Stars and
Stripes.
