Reported

KEN0SHA, Wis.,, Feb. 16.-The
Nash Motors company reports an in
crease in shipments for January
over " per cent greater than for
the same month last year.
c. II. Bliss, sales manager Of the
company, in commenting on this
significant increase, says: with an
suspicious beginning, 1929 starts off
toward the fulfillment of our ex-
pectations of the greatest year in
Nash history. We have just regis
tered better than N per cent gain
in shipments for January, owe the
same month last year. From all
sides, Nash dealers report greater
accomplishments and glowing pros
poets for new sales records.
"For example, our retail deliv-
cries nd the country's principal dis
tributing points. including New
York, Chicago, Detroit. San Fran
cisco and other key cities, during
the first two weeks of January show
a 81 per cent increase over the same
period a year ago. This came IN
top Of gains amounting TO SO per
cent and 30 per cent, respectively.
for the final weeks Of the past De-
cember.
sour export shipments for Janu-
airy also show a very substantial
gain, topping those of the same
month in 1923 by Al per cent.
During the last eight months
more than 10000 Of these new
400" series have been placed in the
hands of owners
"These increases in the volume Of
our business are all the more i'm
pressive from the fact that 1928 was
a banner year for Nash. And we
fully expect 1879 to prove by far
the greatest year we have ever
had"
