EGGS WILL Be HIGH

What is described as the largest egg
pack in the history of this country is
going on at present, according to deal
ers, and therein is found the explana-
ton for the present high price of eggs
as we'll as for statements made in cer-
tain ci cles that eggs will retail at a
dollar dozen in the fall.
Eggs should be rel aifing at between
80 and 35 cents a dozen, according to
the dealers, il supply and demand were
fixing the price. As it is. it is said, big
interests are buying up all of the eggs
to be had and packing them away in
cold storage, preparatory to the fall
and winter demand, when the price will
be fixed at the highest point, it is said,
that the public will stand.
The egg lay, according to country re-
ports, throughout the spring has been
exceptionally large. Yet the quantity
of fresh eggs reaching the retail mar
ket from the country is below normal.
This is pointed to bydealers as evidence
of the packing buy and as substantial
ing the reports from tbs West that all
available eggs are being bought for
storage.

DENIES MOTOR COMBINE

In answer to the recent unauthentic
reports that there was possibility of a
combine of The Nash Motors Company
with several other big companies in the
motor car industry comes the statement
from Mr.. C. ". Nash, president of
The Nash Motors Company, Kenosha,
Wisconsin, which eliminates any posi-
bility of merger such as has been re-
Gently reported in the press.
In an interview with Mr.. Nash he
said ''The reports of consolidation in
the me tor car industry which includes
the Nash Motors Company are not
founded on facts. There is no possi-
bility of the Nash Motors Company be-
coming subsidiary of any other COM
pany in the rotor car industry"
Like all other great industries. the
automobile business is narrowing down
to the survival of the fittest, said Mr..
Nash. ebay after day there are mer-
gers reported.
Il have no criticism of this tendency
but l would like to have it definitely
understood that nothing could induce
The Nash Motors Company to enter into
merger. Should it become advisable or
expedient, we would 60 into the field
for other plants but in that event the
resulting expansion would be under the
control of The Nash Motors Company.
"In this connection l might say there
are three factors necessary to perma-
nency in the motor Gar business. good
financing, a good factory and good
organization. 1t follows that a good
product would be the result.
"We feel that The Nash Motors Com
pany possesses all three of these e>-
sential factors and that, therefore, our
expansion depends simply on our own
energy and is not in any way dependent
on a combination with other we'll estab-
llshed companies
Because of Mr.. Nash's twenty-seven
years experience in manufacturing and
because of the record he holds as one
of the worlds foremost manufacturers,
there have been frequent rumors of
consultations. Apparently, however,
the latest reports are not we'll funded
for, as Mr.. Nash states, ''if they were
based on fact I would take the public
into my confidence and would be the
first to make an announcement.
