Lower Prices
on Nash Cars
Effective July .
Effective July 2

Nash prices will be reduced,
effective July 2
This conforms to our statement
made last October that Nash
prices would be maintained until
at least July 1, 1921.
The reasons were plain. Until
manufacturing costs were lower
we could not cut price without
cutting value, as Nash prices
were not inflated.
We pointed out then that while
the average rise in the price
of motor cars for q four-year
period had been 1873 the price
of Nash cars had been raised
but 31%.
This 31% included the addition
of cord tires as standard equip
ment and many other additions
andrefinementswhich added ma.
terialfy to the value of Nash cars.
Sowere-affirmed our fixed inten-
tion of rigidly upholding the
high quality of Nash cars.
