BALTIMORE. January Especially.
The feeling prevails in banking cir

vail for money during 1926. During
the year just ended money on time
loaned as low as per cent, while
in Baltimore the minimum rate was
per cent. In both cases rates were
much below the average of recent
years. AS a matter of fact, some
lenders complained that the rate was
lower than the cost of handling the

DOUBLE OUTPUT
AS CHRYSLER
SALES CAIN

The production division Of tho
Chrysler Corporation, in order to keep
pace with the increasing public de-
mand, achieved a success during the
summer and fall months which has
come very close to setting new rec
ord in manufacturers annals in the
automobile industry, according to the
Guarantee Motor Car Company.
To have built two cars within 90
days time, where only one was built
before, is an achievement performed
by the Chrysler manufacturing depart
ment, under the direction Of W. Led
yard Mitchell, vice president in charge
Of manufacturing.
This was only made possible by the
most careful coordination Of all the
phases of production.
NEW BODY TYPES.
Doubling the production was more
than merely problem of quantity.
The increase in output was coincident
with the introduction of twelve new
body types, each constructed on a
finer and better scale than any Of its
predecessors.
This new era for Chrysler was at
tended BY no violent disruption of ex-
isting conditions. New materials were
purchased and received without Excess
sive obsolescence on the old models
and with an absence Of stock short
age; new machinery and tools were
designed, constructed or purchased,
and placed in operation without inter-
ruption to production; existing ma
chinery and tools were revamped and
made available for the new product
without loss Of output and with
minimum of discard: over 1000 new
employees were added to the pay rolls
without loss Of productive efficiency,
and the whole program was attended
by the application Of closer tolerances
and limits.
LARGE PRODUCTION.
Chrysler's place in the industry can
best be pictured by review Of con-
crete figures. Its annual production
when loaded into freight cars would
make a train 300 miles long, the dis
lance from Cleveland to Chicago.
Placed end to end, the number Of
automobiles would make a line 800
miles long. the distance from Chicago
TO Minneapolis. The movement OF
this product to Chrysler factories and
TO ultimate consumer requires rail
road equipment equivalent TO a train
Of 100 cars circling the globe twelve
times. One hundred and fifty million
dollars worth Of material is purchas
ed from vendors.
BIG PLANTS.
The freight bill on this material is
two and one-half million dollars. Tel
million dollars worth of machinery
and equipment is required for mann
featuring purposes only. Twenty
thousand employees draw an annual
pay roll Of forty-five million dollars.
One thousand Of these employees are
inspectors engaged in the rigid task
Of protecting quality. The plants
cover an area Of 200 acres. equal 10
a square Of eighty city blocks.
The aim Of the production division
is TO produce and ship the finest quail
ity cars in the quantities 10 meet
sales schedules and at costs 10 per
nit Of selling prices consistent with
quality merchandise.

The average owner Of good auto

trouble, glides smoothly over the high
ways, month in and month out, mar
wells at its unfailing dependability,
unaware, perhaps, of the elaborate
and painstaking system employed by
the manufacturer to insure that char

industry is inspection more rigid or
are safeguards more firmly adhered

mo other factor in our entire pro-
gram of manufacture is a more vital
part of the production program than
our system of inspections and tests,
says ID. VI. Averill, vice president and
general manager of the Ajax Motors
Company. 1T is only by constant, in
sistent and repeated testing that q

TESTS JUSTIFIED.

quently express amazement at the
lengths TO which the company has
gone to assure perfect workmanship
and materials. This work begins with
the raw materials which are not un-
loaded from the freight cars until
definite tests have shown that they
measure up to specifications and re-
quirements in every particular. Then
as each of the numerous operations is
performed in the various departments,
inspectors must pass on them. Thus
the possibility of trouble is eliminated
at the very outset; finished units not
only are closely inspected but are thor
oughly tested before going into the
chassis.
THE SYSTEM.

NASH 6 MAKES
FIRST GENERAL
PRICE GU
Reductions Range Up to
$500 on Advanced
and Special Lines.

The Nash Motors Company has an
nounced price reductions ranging up
to $500 on the Advanced Six and
Special Six lines. The new low prices
were effective November 1, according
to the Jack Neal Nash Company.
No change has been made in the
Nash models themselves, and the char
acter and quality of the cars remain
exactly as before. This sweeping
Nash cut in prices is, in effect, a
double reduction, according to Z. IL.
McCarty, general sales MANAGER of
the Nash Motors Company.
When the new Nash models were
nationally introduced, July 49," says
Mr.. McCarty, they presented new
and original body designs, far-reach-
ing improvements in construction and
many refinements in engineering and
equipment, all of which entailed large
increases in manufacturing cost.
SALES INCREASE.
If Nash sales and production had
not been smashing all records for vol
ume at that time, we would certainly
have been compelled to increase prices
materially. But Nash prices were
held at the same figure and the re-
Spouse on the part of the public to
this offering Of greater value and
greater quality was instantaneous and
countrywide. In the three months
period since national Nash inaugural
day, July %, when these new cars
were first placed on display, sales
have more than equalled one-half the
sales for the entire year of 1924,
which was a banner year for Nash.
So that it is now possible for us to
make these sweeping reductions on
the Advanced Six and Special Six
lines and thus pass on the earned
benefits of record-breaking production
to buyers.
QUALITY STANDARD.
"There has been no cheapening of
materials, construction or manufac-
turing. The same high standards of
quality and workmanship that have
earned worldwide reputation for e.
W. Nash as a builder of high-grade
cars are strictly maintained. And
the aim of the Nash Motors Company
to continually give greater quality
and greater value in its product is now
attained in higher degree than ever be-
fore.
