Factory Extensions Will Increase
 Production 40~o

Factory extensions and additional plant equipment will increase the pro- duction capacity of the Nash Motors Company by forty per cent by the opening of the spring season over the greatest production ever previously at tained. Demand for the Nash line of Advanced and Special Six series cars kept the plants in kenosha and Mil- waukee busy literally night and day throughout August, September, Oeto- Der and November, and has made nee essary the expansions covering 254.- 236 square feet of floor space and the installation of over Sl .50o,000 worth of additional plant equipment.
 1t always has been our policy to expand our business on a sound basis. says President C. W. Nash, but the models brought out by us last August were so well received by the pubic that we were unprepared to meet the full demand. The thing Co do then was to increase our production capae- ity by building extensions and through the installation of additional machin- cry equipment. This will make it pos sible for us to have in the hands of our dealers. in the early spring, cars m quantities that will more nearly meet the demand"
 Orders for the new equipment were placed some weeks ago, and work of installation will begin as soon as the buildings have been completed. Ae- tive work on the new buildings also IS under way, the extensions affecting both the Kenosha and Milwaukee plants.
