Palisade, N. J.
To the Editor:
The letter from Charles Merhle, Jr.,
in last Fridays Palisadian was rather
amusing.
The result of last Tuesdays cleo
ton was an answer to what Mr.. Mer-
hle, Jr., had to say.
1t will be interesting for him to note
that Harry Elkan won in Fort Lee
proper without counting Palisades
vote.
There was no ace voting in Pali-
sade, and, strange to say, the only evi-
dence of ace voting was in Merhle's
own district and Coytesville.
Respectfully,
PHIL SMITH.

sales and production record and now
March has taken the lead over Feb
ruary. incidentally March shipments
from the factory We're 40 per cent
greater than the shipments Of March
1924
THE situation with respect to the
demand for Nash cars is further en-
phasized by the fact that the entire
automobile industry during March
had about 10 per cent less business
than during March 1924. And added
to this, even though last month was
Nash Motors biggest production
month, there We're in our hands bona
fide orders for about 1000 cars that
we were unable to ship because we
could not produce sufficient automo-
biles to fill the demand"
In anticipation Of the heavy de-
mand for the Nash line of cars work
has begun at both the Kenosha and
Milwaukee factories on plant extern
sions which, when completed, will
provide for an increase in production
capacity Of 40 percent. These ex-
tensions include new buildings and
the installation of additional produc-
tion machinery equipment and will
be ready within short time for

Rejects Order
For 1000 Cars

Here is an order. duly signed by
the proper executives, for 1000 OF
Your cars"
What salesman wouldn't gulp-and
grab? 4
Retail orders for motor cars in lots
of 1000 come to the average sales
man about as often as ice peddlers
visit the Eskimos. There are only
few in history.
Yet the incident referred to-about
the signed order for 1000 cars-ac-
tually happened. And what makes
it remarkable is the fact that the
salesman turned it down!
c. IL. Jennings. Dodge Brothers
dealer in New York City. throws
some clarifying light on this puzzler.
He says:
"This Dodge Brothers salesman
had been working for several years
on a. large national acc0unt-a COM
pany that operates cars by the thou
sands, in every part of the country.
The company was buying Dodge
Brothers cars regularly, ten fifteen
and twenty and more at a time. On
several occasions the chief buyer
had made the remark that, If you
fellows would only grant a discount,
as others do we might order in
larger lots
sThe salesman, Of course. pointed
out the desirability Of buying the
1000 cars anyhow, regardless OF
Dodge Brothers no-discount policy,
but the executive declined to recede
from his position. The latter then
prepared what he afterwards refer
red to as his psychological coup. He
knew that the salesman would be
calling again so he had an imposing
document drawn UP calling for the
delivery, at a specified date, OF l00o
Dodge Brothers Motor Cars OF Varl-
Gus types, At full list price-mlnus
10 per cent.
"Xyhen the salesman called, Few
weeks later, the official simply hand-
cd him the order.
""That's serious said the official.
We need cars and we want DodSe
Brothers cars, but you can't nave the
order unless you abide by it's terms.
You've got to give US the quantity
discount
"The salesman made the same an
swer that he had always made pc
fore. but out Of Difference to the Gus
toner and the exceptional size OF the
order, promised to take it up with
the factory. The subject came pc
fore us when L was assistant sales
