A Warning From the Factory
"The price of the Jeffery Six is
subject to change without notice.
We cannot maintain the present
price certainly not after our
present stock of materials bought
over a year ago is used up."
-THE NASH MOTORS CO.
v.
v.
v.
. ,
V'A
THE reason is ob
vious. The cost
of raw materials and
, parts has soared to
record breaking levels.
Buy a Jeffery Six
now and we can save
you money. The
present price is $1465.
It may go up any day.
It is certain that the
factory can not build
this car at this price
when the present stock
of material is ex
hausted. So fat The Nash
Motors Company has
been able to keep the
price down because of
their tremendous ad
vantage as manufac
turers. You see they
actually build ninety
three per cent of every
Jeffery Six in their
own factory. Because
they are thus obliged
to buy materials far in
advance they have so
far been protected
against the advance in
raw materials. For
their present stock was
purchased over a year
ago at much lower
prices. This gives
them a tremendous
advantage over com
panies which merely
assemble cars.
Compare values for
yourself. You will
find other cars in the
Jeffery Six class priced
as high as, $1700.
So you are actually
buying that value in a
Jeffery Six for $1465.
Effect this substan
tial saving by placing
your order for a Jeff
ery Six at once.
But don't delay.
See this car now. Let
usdemonstrate toyou
why the Jeffery Six
is the leader in its
price class. -

Bloomers. Extend Below Short Skirts
Perhaps the most revolutionary feature of
these Lanvin adaptations is the fact that the
straight or caught-in bloomers show below the
skirt fully four or five inches. The bloomer
reaches only to the knees, which means that the
skirt is exceptionally short, rather than that the
bloomer is long.
