NASH CAR BRAKE
OF own DESIGN
Entire Chassis Construct
ed To Meet Abnormal
Strain

One of the exclusive features to
which the new model Nash car owes
much of its wonderful popularity is
the special Nash design four-wheel
brakes, according to J. B. Owens, sales
manager at Mccormack Bros.
The entire chassis of the Nash has
been re-designed to meet the abnormal
stresses to which it is subjected by
the powerful four-wheel braking sys-
tenn used by the Nash engineers. The
Nash chassis has also undergone GER
tain changes and refinements which
make it unusually well adapted to the
use of balloon tires. 1t is quite gen.
orally known that balloon tires are far
more satisfactory on a car designed
for them than on car which used
high-pressure tires as original equip
ment. 1t is equally true that car
should be changed in the number of
ways before fourwheel brakes can be
applied with entire success.
The Nash engineers have met the
situation with wonderful success in
the new model Nash cars which are
increasing in popularity so rapidly. The
Nash four-wheel brakes, of exclusive de-
sign are extremely large and power
full. They seldom require adjustment
or. attention of any kind, and they
do not affect the steering in any way.
They have the fewest possible number
of moving parts and have no toggles,
| universal joints, cables or additional
points to be fabricated. They are also
entirely enclosed and fully protected
| from dirt and water. The moment one
applies these brakes for the first time,
he is impressed with their smothness
and power. 1t is evident that the car
as a whole has been constructed with
| a view to their use.
In the same thorough way, Nash
has taken the fullest possible advantage
of the benefits to be derived from the
use of balloon tire equipment. Springs,
frame and steering have been especially
prepared to meet the requiremnts OF
iow-prssure tires. That is why one no
tees the easy steering and remarka'
BILE riding qualities of the Nash as
compared to other cars.

LIVES SAVED BY
DUPLEX BODIES
Studebaker Dealers Tell
Of Many Marvellous
Escapes

Studebaker's Duplex bodies have
saved fourteen lives since the car was
introduced to the public on September
IA.
Four instances, in which these cars
have left the roadway and rolled over
and over down steep entertainments and
into canyons, carrying from one to five
passengers, all of whom escaped in
Jury by reason of the steel body on the
car, have been reported.
When the Duplex body was an
nounced, in addition to the special fea-
ture of thirty seconds conversion from
an open to an enclosed car, this was
Emphasized:
This sturdy, steel body will give to
motor cars the same new factor of
safety which the steel railway coach
gave to train passengers"
In Durango, Colo, Patrick Kelly of
Chama, n. NJ, was driving with four
friends in a Standard Six Duplex phae-
ton. The car slid off the edge of a
bluff and tumbled over and over, 81
feet to the bottom.
With Mr.. Kelly were A. E. Bruce of
Albuquerque, F. r. Becker of Scott's
Bluff, Nez DIR. H. P. Huntington, Jr.,
A. K. Barr and Robert Brown of
Chama. Their joint report of the precip-
itious plunge down the hillside con-
Guided:
mo one in the car was injured
Again, at Louisiana, Mo-, j. E. Jen-
nings of Pleasant Hill and three others
were driving in a Standard Six Du-
pick. AS they stopped at the edge
of a sixteen foot embankment at the
approach of bridge, to let traffic pass,
the bank crumbled away, tumbling the
car over to the bottom. One man, who
jumped out, was hurt, the others es-
capped injury.
William Hile of Nornbrook, Cal,
worn out with a days >9rk, fell asleep
at the wheel of the easy Standard Six
DUPLEX. The car left the road, rolled
over twice down the canyon side of the
Yreka road and came to rest at the
bottom, wheels in air. Mr.. Hile was
unhurt.
Mechanics who got the car and ran
it under it's own power to the garage,
stood on top of it-seven of them
to show its strength.
Brandley Saunders, returning to
Kansas City from Lawrence, Kans.,
was forced off the road to escape be-
ing hit by car out of side road.
The Special Six Duplex rolled over
the deep gully beside the road. Neither
Mr.. Saunders nor any of the four men
with him were injured.
In these four instances, every man
who stayed in the car escaped injury.
One, who jumyed from the security of
the steel body, was hurt.
The strength that's in steel bridges,
the safety that's in steel railway
coaches-both are in the steel Duplex
body, in addition to the half-minute
conversion from open freedom to en-
closed comfort

DO / NEED GAS?

Gasoline is probably low in the tank.
You don't know. for sure.
SO you hunt up a long stick, run it
into the tank after getting hands all
dirty unscrewing the tank cap, then
carry the stick into the light to see
how much of it is wet. Even that
doesn't tell how many gallons there
is left.
The new Studebaker owner has none
of that trouble. He doesn't get lot
of dirt into the tank on that stick, or
let it rain into the opening if it is
storming
He sits at his wheel and glances
at the indicator on the instrument board
and it tells him exactly how many gal
Ions remain. At 20 miles to the gal
lon. that tells him how far he can go
to get the kind of gasoline he wants to
use.

Congested traffic has no terrors for
those who use Red Top Cabs and pas

'NIany ladies are taking advantage
of our low rates to use Red Top cabs
for shopping tours finding the utmost
in convenience mad service as well as
a great saving in time. Then there is
the element of safety always stressed
in our service which is highly appre-
ciated by those who use our cabs.
Another feature that recommends our
cabs is the fact that we carry children
without extra charge enabling mothers
to carry the little ones safely to down

The use of manual labor is one
which never grows obsolete and which

craft for his culture. We must have a
basis for our higher accomplishments,

and philosophy, in the work of our
hands. We, must have an antagonism

Judge Clements Fighting Weevil
Thru Diversihcation

Judge J. B. Clements, of Irwinvi1le,
is making a practical demonstration of
diversification of field crops on large
scale. Planting only $50 acres in cot
ton this year, against former years
of thousand or more, he has ITO
acres in tomatoes, 104 in tobacco, $50
In Spanish peanuts. 100 in corn and
one hundred in Porto Rico sweet po-
tatoes.
Judge Clements success this year
with this model farm program will
be helpful lesson to many of the
other large land owners. With fair
weather, his tomatoes alone, should
net him more than did ever his cot
ton in previous years. Of course the
Judge also pays special attention to
the hog hen and COW all of which he
has in large numbers.
