NASH TRUCKS FOR
ESSENTIAL WORK
New Sales Policy Will Help
Government and Speed
Necessary Business.

Nash distributors and dealers all
over the country have been advised to
sell Nash trucks only to those businesses
which are deemed vital to the successful
carrying on of the war.
At recent meeting of Nash distrib-
uters at the Nash factory this sales pol
Icy which Is to be effective during the
war was laid down by G. y. Voorhis,
general sales manager of the Nash com
pany. Mr.. Voorhs asked Nash distrib-
uters and Nash dealers to use the great
est discretion in making a sale, because
Of the scarcity Of trucks for commercial
uses.
Pointing out that the demands Of the
war upon the facilities OF the giant Nash
factory permitted but a relatively small
proportion of the Nash truck OUTPUT to
go to commercial buyers, he urged upon
Nash distributors and dealers The neces-
sity of being certain that not one Nash
truck be allowed to go where II was not
absolutely giving capacity service to the
nation In this emergency.
Mr.. Voorhis called attention to the
well known scarcity of trucks. especially
of high grade trucks such "a the Nash.
That this scarcity is being keehly felt
by buyers was evidenced to him by the
fact that practically every Nash distrib-
utOt anu hNhiti Uhh oluflS i'I III IN
cess OF the number of trucks the factory
could furnish. He eaid that this situa-
ton. which is likely to become more
acute before 1t grows better, placed a
heavy burden of responsibility upon the
Nash truck selling organization.
Investigate the requirements Of your
truck prospect Just ns carefully as he in
vestigates the value of your truck. and
| more So" he continued. Then allot your
available trucks to those businesses which
need motor truck transportation most i'm
peratively. DO not allow a single Nash
truck to be wasted in this critical period
THE time has gone by when a buyer
| can walk into your place of business. lay
down h., money and drive away a truck.
You Sentlemen ali know that you cannot
make truck deliveries that way. except
| In rare instances, nowadays. The trucks
simply are not available. Deliveries have
to be made strictly in the sequence in
| which the orders are received and the
| truck buyer is fortunate indeed who can
now get immediate delivery of his equip
ment

while there Is a strong trend among
progressive firms toward owning and
operating their own motor equipment the
peculiar knowledge and experience Of
the competent broker tcamster should be
utilized and applied to the general prob
lem Of improved city delivery.
