The announcement from Kenosha
that the Nash Motors company, in
business only three years, has out
grown the facilities of its present fac
tory and was forced to build another
factory in Milwaukee for the manu-
facture of a new Nash Four, is one
of the most interesting since the early
days OF the industry when phenomenal
growth was the rule rather than the
exception.
The Nash growth is all the more
remarkable when it is remembered
that during practically two of these
years the country was at war and
business conditions abnormal
The present Kenosha factory in the
second year under the Nash regime
did s47,000.Bo0 worth of business. Its
output for the current fiscal year is
