NASH METHODS
BRING new ERA
New Use for Machinery
Brings High Grade Cars
to Lower Price.
MAKES MACHINES NOW
Lafayette Factory Is to Have
First Use Of New Methods as
Outlined by C. w. Nash.

Charles w. Nash, head of the Nash
interests in Kenosha and originator Of
the "straight-line" production system
for motor cars which brought the
ownership of automobiles within reach
of the average American, has an
nounced a radical new production
method, applied to different class of
cars, which duplicates by machinery
and at lower cost the fine handwork
that has always distinguished the lead
ing cars Of Europe. 1t might be called
the "multi-machine" method
The immediate benefactor of Mr..
Nash's new production conception is
the Lafayette Motors company of In
dianapolis, of which he is president.
after more than twenty years in the
motor car business" says Mr.. Nash,
l'most of which has been devoted to the
production of cars in the medium
price class, have realized in my assoc
citation with Lafayette an ambition
which I have always had, namely, to
produce car comparable to the finest
handmade cars of Europe but designed
for American road conditions and long
distances and manufactured on prac-
tical machine basis which would make
ownership possible among that sub
stantial class of men and women in
this country who find true satisfaction
in the assured quality of their posses
sions.
Duplicate Handwork.
"Not until recently did circumstan-
ces give me the opportunity to work it
out. Starting with the premise that
handworl0 can be duplicated by ma
chine operations if you use enough Of
them, we proceeded to equip the La
Fayette plant with every device which
would add the slightest degree of reIia-
bility or performance value to each
part. There is no secret about it. 1t
is simply case Of thoroughness, but
it is degree of thoroughness which
has never been tried before in this
country and which might have been
impossible without the precision meth
DDS recently developed by aircraft
manufacture.
Demand for High Quality Cars.
"While this multiplicity of opera
tions adds to manufacturing cost, it
does not approach the cost of hand
work, because Of the increased speed
with which machine work is accom-
pished Besides it reduces to the
lowest possible degree the human
element which is the greatest factor
Of error in any fabricated product, and
it retains that important asset Of the
American method, the perfect inter-
ehangeability of parts"
Mr.. Nash has expressed his conf
dence in the rapid recovery of the
market for high quality cars by APP
proving a substantial production pro-
gram for Lafayette which will give
employment this spring and summer
to hundreds Of skilled mechanics.

The Economy of
Quality

Often cheap merchandise is the mSst eX-
pensive thing is cheap in so far as 1t
gives greater service than the purchase
price would indicate. Original costs are
not to be considered-only the months of
satisfactory service divided into the pur-
chase price will reveal the real value of
any merchandise. .
Buyers for Bon Marche stores look at
merchandise with the determination to buy
that piece of merchandise or garment that
will give the most of satisfactory wear for
the money invested by the customer.
The realization that economy may be had
only through quality is one Of the reasons
for supremacy wherever Bon Marche' stores
are established.
