PROFIT IS SHOWN
IN NASH REPORT
Annual Report of Nash
Motors Co. Shows Net
Profit of S7,OO7,471.
new PLANT FINISHED


Profit of $7,007,471 for the fiscal year
ending November 80, last, is shown in
the annual financial report of The
Nash Motors Company which has just
been submitted to the Board of Di-
rectors. This profit is net, after all
charges including federal taxes have
been deducted.
The profit earned by the company
during the year equals, after deduct
ing $4,000 preferred dividends,
S122.79 a share on $4,000 shares Of
common stock. The earning for the
previous fiscal year, on $4,000 shares
of stock, was $9505.
The statement, signed by c. w. Nash,
president of The Nash Motors Com
pany, points out that sales, during the
1920 fiscal year, were $57, 185, 766.78 as
compared with Sal, ,093 for 1919 or
an increase of $500. 1t shows ac-
counts payable of $1,074, 229.93 and
cash in banks $12 ,409, 378.12. During
the fiscal year there were produced by
the company 41,111 passenger cars and
trucks.
From the foregoing summary of the
figures contained in the report, it is
clear that the company has been able
to take cash discounts on all it's pur-
chases and has had no occasion to
borrow a dollar from any of its banks.
New Plant Completed.
In the report Mr. Nash says: "The
first units Of the new plant in Mil
waukee are now completed and opera
tion started. The four cylinder car
is meeting with fine reception. We
have put into the Milwaukee plant for
land, buildings, machinery and equip
ment $1,573,083 besides $1,280,709 for
working capital. We have also expend-
ed during the year in the enlargement
of our Kenosha six-cylinder and truck
plant $1,051, 445.
"Some bankers seem to have felt
that passenger cars were not desirable
collateral, but we believe on the con-
trary that cars of financially sound
and conservatiyely managed automo-
bile company furnish exceptionally
safe and desirable collateral
No Need To Sacrifice Cars.
"Should one of the dealers prove I'M
able to meet his note held by his To-
cal bank, there is no need for the
banker to sacrifice our cars. In fact
we would not expect. to permit it. Our
wholesale distributor from whom the
dealer Bought his cars has lively self
interest in taking them off the hands
of the bank at the dealers cost and
moving them to some other part of his
territory where they can be sold in an
orderly manner and our national price
maintained. The distributor might ask
US to help him by slowing down his
shipments. We stand behind our dis
tributors and they know they can
count on our cooperation.
eve intend to continue to maintain
conservative production policy be-
cause we regard our distributing ma
chinery as most vital part of our
business and we also realize that the
bankers who are cooperating with our
dealers are just as much component
part of our organization as the deal
ers themselves.
eve are looking forward to at least
moderately successful year"

To Grow Mushrooms
i'm Illinois Mines

Springfield, Ill-As a result of find
ings Of the optimists' Club in this
city, miners in the locality may start
raising mushrooms in the local coal
mines. C. G. Biernan, chairman of
the committee Of the Optimists' club
reported the temperature in the local
mines was ideal for the raising of
mushrooms and in speaking before the
club, said he would try to interest the
miners in such plan.
Mr.. Bierman pointed out that the
financial returns would be large
enough to amply repay the miners for
their efforts to grow the fungi.
William B. Jess, coal operator in
this vicinity has sanctioned the plan
at his mine. He declared the grow
ing of mushrooms in mines in other
states had been tried successfully.

Taking advantage of the dense fog
that enyeloped Kenosha on Friday
night, a bold and talkatiye purse
snatcher stole the pocket-book of Mrs.
Lena Nolan Of 624 South Chicago
street, just as she was leaving the
walk leading from the Kenosha hos
pital Mrs, Nolan screamed and gave
chase to the thief but the latter ran
north on Chicago street to Library
Park and escaped in the fog.
The pocket-book contained about
twelve dollars in money and in addi-
ton had a bank book and several other
less valuable articles. Mrs. Nolan was
able to give good description of
the thief to the police and it is
believed that he may be located be-
fore the day is over.
Spoke to Woman First.
Mrs. Nolan had been working at
the Korf store and was returning to
her home unescorted at nine o'clock on
Friday evening, Because of the dense
fog, she did not see the purse snatcher
approaching until he had almost
caught up with her. He walked up
to her naturally and spoke to her as
If she were an acquaintance.
Before Mrs. Nolan had time to even
look up at him, the thief, seeing the
purse which was carried by a short
cord, struck Mrs. Nolan a hard blow
on the wrist and seized the purse and
ran north on Chicago street. Mrs. No
Ian, unabashed by the daring of the
bandit, pursued him and called for help,
Heating Joins in Chase.
Charles Heating, who was so far
away that he could not see the theft
because of the fog, but who heard
the cries for help from Mrs. Nolan,
came from the north and Joined in
the pursuit of the robber Heating
also saw the man and followed him
until he reached Deming street. There
the bandit first turned east and then
apparently darted off into Library
Park where he was lost in the fog.
The holdup was reported to the police
and with a good description of the
man, thee police are hoping that they
will be able to find him. The descrfp-
tion of the purse-snatcher was with
held by authorities in order that they
might not be hampered in the search
for him. 1t was stated, however, that
he was a short, stalky man, apparently
very well dressed. The description
is close enough that he could easily
identified by Mrs. Nolan in the event
that he was captured.
Rumors of Another Holdup.
Earlier in the evening, the police
had received report of another holdup
which is alleged to have happened in
Library Park. This report came from
Mrs. Wells, on Park avenue, who de-
clared that man, whose name could
not be secured, had stopped in front
of her house and had screamed out
for help alleging that he had been
robbed while passing through Library
Park. The police were sent to inves-
tigate the rumor but could find no
trace either of the man who had been
robbed or Of the thief if there was
