It has no Body squeaks, showing
superiority in Body Construction
It is in a class by itself," consid
ering its size, when it comes to
first economy
If all automobiles had Power Plants
equal to the New Nash Six drivers
would have to look elsewhere for
right arm muscular development.
If all automobiles possessed the ex
traordinary Riding qualities of the
New Nash Six, manufacturers of
shock absorbers would have to go
out of business.
If all automobiles were as free from
Body Squeaks, as the New Nosh Six
there would be less work for the
nerve specialists.
If all automobiles were as Econ
omical in fuel consumption as the

serving gasoline supply would be
