The five-psenger tour tug car lias been reduced $150, niak ing the new price $1,045; the to arngcr roadster now sells fur SI.0J5. the three-pancitger coupe, M.045, and the five-pascuger sedan, $1,835. These prices are all f. o. b. Mil waukee, "and are effective imme diately. Demand Increasing. When 1 lie Naoh-Four went into production a little 'over a year ago. ilie touring car was priced at $1,395, the coupe told for $1,985 and the sedan for $2,185. From the moment the car was introduced it won im mediate favor with the public. So great has been the demand for four-cylinder cars that the Nasli fac-. tory never ha been in a position to till all orders. This demand has .steadily increased with a resultant volume in production. "I believe I am entirely safe in saying that- at its new price . the I' our represents by a big margin the greatest automobile value in the history of the motor car industry." said Charles B. Voorhif, vice presi dent and general sales manger of the Xash .Motors company. Plant Well Equipped. "The Nash factory in Milwaukee, where the four-cylinder car is built, offers every facility for production on a basis of quality as well as volume. The plant is equipped w ith the finest and most modern ma chinery and the""niethods employed are those that have been used by .Mr. Xash in his 25 years of manu facturing experience. -"In short there is- every' reason ,.

Cadillacs Make Exhibit At Shenandoah Jubilee The J. H. Hansen ' Cadillac com pany assisted the city, of Shenandoah, la., la.st week with its 50th anniver sary celebration by furnishing a very old one-cylinder Cadillac and the new type 61 Cidillac, showing the con trast between old modes of travel and new.

' '; Rattle in Shackles. Spring shackle play or, looseness between the spring end and the shackle may give much .annoyance until the seat of trouble is discov ered. Kattling caused by this loose ness Avill be more frequent and dis tince when the car is riding over fairly rough roads. A good method of taJcing up the play is to place shims between the spring end and the shackle Or theplay may be removed by tightening the spring bolt. Watch the shickles and do not allow mud to accumulate, for small particles of flinty grit in the -mud make their way into the working larts and cause excessive, wear. Lu bricate the shackle bolts generously. Protect the Finish: ';. V Changes in temperature exert 'an extremely unhappy, effect on the finish of the car beeause of "the differ ence in the coefficients f -expansion of metal and paint and varnish." To insure the highly finished- surfaces from cracking the car should,, be, housed in a garage maintained at a nearly uniform degree of tempera ture. Also car owners who .utilize their barns as garages make a mis take in so doing, as the ammoniac gases always present in a stable are ruinous to the varnished surfaces of the car. ' . ( ') ' crfe - !! Success, vision and the lucky Jor dan star, according to Ned Jordan, are responsible for the timely ap pearance of this brand new car of u interesting and advanced type, production of which began last week at the Jordan factory. Jordan says the battle for leader ship in the automobile industry is on. Henceforth competition will not be entirely governed by price, but by stnice rendered. . The new Jordan is an expression of the policy of the Jordan com pany, which is to build a better car and by sacrificing profit to offer this car to the public at a lower price. A new and exclusive Jordan mo tor cotnes as a surprise to the in dustry. Now the Jordan car is dis tinctly individual. No important unit in the new Jordan is identical with . any ' unit used in any other automobile. The motor is the result of two years of designing and experimental testing. It is more powerful ' than any Jordan motor previously used and is so designed to provide that desirable power without expensive vibration. Every detail of the Jordan, which for five years has been successfully building a reputation for good serv ice, has been improved. The latest type, of axle,,built by Popular. Salesman Joins Lincoln Force ' CO I - Max D. Cubbage, one of the best known and most popular salesmen identified with the local motor car industry, has been added to the Lin coln, sales .force by Bob O dell, man ager of Hannan-OdciV Inc. In view of the fact that for the past four years Cubbage has been selling high-grade automobiles, Od cll believes he will prove a valuable acquisition to the seilng department of Hannan-Odell, ' Inc. ' Not only is Cubbage an expert salesman,, but he also is thoroughly conversant with "the- mechairiical,'. construction of all , high-grade motor cars. ' Cubbage stated that he' considers the Lincoln one of the best values on the market today." For the last four years Cubbage has been selling Packards .and Cad illacs. During ; the -. last.

Rco Sedan Takes Beauty Prize at Show in Wichita Touring Cur of Same Coin pany AUo Cultures Award in Appearance, Operation and j Control Competition. Taking prim in a beauty content is a new and rather unique roll played by a Reo sedan and touring car. But this is what happened at the Internationa! Wheat show in Wichita, Kan., the other day, and a description of the beauty parade has ju.t been received by Mr. J. M. Op per r( the Jones-Opper company, lo cal Reo distributors, in a letter front the Wichita distributor. The Kro touring car was entered In the $1,000 to $.',000 clas. and the new sedan was entered in the $J,UU0 to $3,000 class. The points upon which the judges based their de cision were appearance, smoothness of operation and ease of control. The Reo sedan took first prize and the 'new Rep light seven outranked everything in its class. The auto mobile fashion parade and contest were features of the wheat show in Wichita. More than 100 cars of dif ferent makes were entered in the show. According to reports and newspa per comments from Wichita, the Reo passenger cars which were exhibited during the fair attracted unusual at tention. Particularly the new Reo light seven was an object of consid erable interest among the auto en thusiasts. During the exhibit every car entered in the beauty contest was put through its paces the same as at a horse show and both the Reo Uedan and the new light seven sur passed the other entries in point ot appearance, both models scored heavily in regard to smoothness of operation and ease of control. Spring Seat Lubrication. Many present day cars arc fitted with springs mounted on scats that oscillate. These spring seats usually have some means of lubrication, but many car owners never take the trouble simply to turn up the grease cup provided. While it is not nec essary to turn the cup each day It is advisable to give this part a little attention now and then. In canti lever suspensions the center bearing of the spring should be well oiled.

Why, you shoot $8 to $12 a a year on ordinary timers and still rarely get 3 months' timer service at a stretch without something getting out of whack. " Take your dealers word for it Now take this Walker. If this Timer doesn't give you 12 months ' of the best running you ever had take it back where you got it. . It's insureda genuine insurance policy comes right with it. It says inblackandwWte,ifcdon'tthjnkitisgivm the man who sold it to you will give you a new one absolutely . ; free. You can't beat that. There's thousands of Ford owners who put their Walkers on 18 months ago and they're still going strong. ' ' Get your money's worth. Any Ford driver who is not getting over a year's service out of his timer is not getting his money's worth. The Walker costs only $3 and it V insured to last at least a year. No other manu-. ; facturef dares insure his timer and you know it Better put on a Walker now. All good accessory dealers and garages sell them.
