Lower Prices
on Nash Cars
Effective July z.

Nash prices will be reduced, effective
July ?
This conforms to our statement made last
October that Nash prices would be MAIN
iain4d until at least July |, 1921.
The reasons were plain. Until manufac-
turing costs We're lower We could not cut
price without cutting value, as Nash
prices We're not Inflated.
We pointed out then that while the
average rise in the price of motor ears for
four year period had been Is per cent the
price of Nash cars had been raisel but 81
per cent
This 81 per cent. included the addition of
cord tires as standard equipment and m,ny
other additions and refnements which
added materially to the value OF Nash
cars.
So we re-afIirmed our fixed intention of
rigidly upholding the high quality of Nash
cars.
