INSISTS GOOD TRUCK

"A good truck performing its work
satisfactorily day after day is an asset
to any business that requires motor
equipment 1t is making money-not
costing money" says Charles B. Voor-
his, general sales manager of the Nash
Motors company.
This is why the Nash Quad has
proved itself such a real economy to
businesses with extremely difficult
hauling problems. 1t performs satisfac-
torily and stays in service with a mini
mum of time off for repairs and re-
placements.
and the reason the Quad is able to
render this kind Of service is because
of the service which the Nash factory
and Nash distributing organizations are
prepared to give to every Nash owner.
80 diversified and complete is the
equipment Of this factory that Nash
products are manufactured here prac-
tically in their entirety.
"The Quad buyer is assured the CON-
pany from which he purchased his truck
will be in business and at his service
during the entire life of his truck. He
will never be forced to call upon the
local blacksmith for part which may
be needed, because the manufacturer of
some part has gone out of business and
can no longer furnish that part"

LABOR AND PRODUCTION MUST
BE PLACED ON HIGHER PLANE

Never was there less excuse for

SO much work to be done at such high
wages and short hours. Instead of eff
ficient work and high wages we find
inefficient work and decreased produc-
ton per man and per hour
AS a nation. we have been largely
blinded by false sense of prosperity.
Due to the destruction of industry in
the rest of the world we have been
able to sell our goods at our own
price and this price was high enough
to cover the fictitious value placed on
our commodities due to inefficient
work. decreased cost of production,
high wages and short hours. We are
binding ourselves with the idea that
the rest of the world is dependent
on us.
We fail to recognize the fact that
there are millions of people in Europe
who have got to work to live and a
country in this condition is going to
produce and they are gong to produce
cheaper than the country which has
been flooded with wealth. The re-
building of Europe will be done on
much more rapid scale than has been
generally estimated. About another
year or two at the outside, will see
keen competition established from
overseas. If we will trim our sails to
meet conditions which we know will
come and set our house in order
against the day of competition we
will change from an abnormal to a
normal basis of prosperity with little
difficulty.
There is little prospect, however,
Judging from the ever increasing &C.
currence of outlaw strikes of reyolu-
tionary character, that the workmen
of the nation will heed warnings or
advice. This country is rich in money,
there are unlimited opportunities for
its expenditure in the industrial
enterprises which are needed, ont
due to continuous agitation among
the working classes and due to the
continual falling off in production per
man power this money is becoming
harder to interest in industrial en-
terprises. Higher and higher inter-
ests are being paid to secure money
for investment purposes and our own
is now issuing treasury
certificates bearing 5A per cent in
order to get money for operating pur-
poses.
There is great difference be-
tween sober counsel and calamity
bowling" but nation that will not
work and save must eventually suf-
fer. Unless we settle down, distress
and want must come. And when 1t
comes, it will not be lack of money
but lack of the very materials of
life Think it over.
