NEW NASH FOUR
WILL APPEAR AT
H. Y. AUTO SHOW
Car to Be Built in Quan
tities as Soon as New
Milwaukee Plant Is
Completed.
The curtain is to be raised on the
Nash four at the New York Auto
mobile Show. Announcement has
been made by the Nash Motors com
pany that the four-cylinder car,
which has created so much interest
throughout the country, is to be
shown to the public at the national
snows.
Except that the new product of
the Nash Motors company is a
four-cylinder car and that it is to be
built in quantities, no details in ad
vance of the actual showing of the
car are forthcominar. However,
when the public is permitted to view
the latest addition to the Nash ram
ily, it is predicted by those in a
position to know, that interest will
be keen. In fact, it is declared that
the exhibition of "the Nash four will
be one of the outstanding features
of this years national show..
While details at this lime are
lacking it is known that the con
struction of the new four-cylinder
Nash is in keeping with the stand
ard maintained by the Nash motors
organization. Mr. Nash, himself,
and the engineering department of
the Nash I ors conipanv are sat
isfied that the new car will make a
fit companion to the Nash six, which
has earned for itself so favorable a
reputation in the hands of owners
throughout the country.
With the completion of buildings
and the installation of machinery in
the new Milwaukee plant now being
built, production of the new Nash
four will begin. It is likely because
of the headway that has been made
in the building of the factory, that
cars will be in the hands of dealers
some time in the late summer.

Q VERLAND 4 Sedan re
cords a great step for
ward in motor car design.
Even on the roughest
roads the new three-point

ward off the shock of road
bumps.
Attached diagonally at,
each end of the car, they
protect car mechanism and
passengers from the usual
jolts and jars. They permit
long springbase with its easy
riding and short wheelbase
with its easy handling.
They thus make possible
light weight with resulting
great economy.

Pneumatic tired trucks,' desig
nated to meet the demand for
greater speed and wider range in
truck transportation, are announced
by the Packard Motor Car company
for 1920 -production. These new
modles are the first pneumatic tire
trucks to be manufactured by the
Packard company, and are distinct
in design from the solid tirctruck
models.
The trucks are built in three dif
ferent sizes, giving a large range
in capacity. The fact that they are
specifically designed for pneumatic
tires is a long step in the applica
tion of the motor" vehicle work,
according to F. J. Bury,, freight
transportation manager, Packard
Omaha company.
"The efforts to make pneumatic
tire trucks by simply changing tire
equipment has proved a failure," he
said. "The pneumatic, tire when put
on a wheel intended for a solid tire
gives a much larger wheel diameter?
increasing the gear ratios heavily.
The consequence is rapid engine
deterioration because the engine is
laboring constantly. The problem
has been one of design rather than
one of adaptation. We have
answered it by a new model which
is built for the work it is -to do."
Early in November one of these
new trucks made what is regarded
as a new road speed record for
motor trucks. It made the run be
tween Bay City and Detroit, a dis
tance of 120 miles, in five hours and
52 minutes, an average of 20.6 miles
an hour. One half of the distance
was traveled over roads wet by re
cent rains. The truck vas packed
to its capacity of three tons. It was
equipped with 38x7 Goodyear Cord
tiers in front, and 40x10 rear, y

Clean Off the Snow to Keep
Business Moving as Usual
"Keep the business wheels turn
ing."
Thit slogan wat adopted by the
travel and transport bureau of the
B. F. Goodrich Rubber company in
its recently inaugurated highway
snow removal campaign. Messages
from practically every northern state
to the bureau show decided interest
in the undertaking and in marly in
stances state and county highway
departments are prepared to keep
their roads cleared for motor truck
and passenger car traffic. But in
far too many important districts lit
tle or no provision has been made.
Winter highway transportation, it
it pointed out, is as essential as
summer traffic. Inter-city, rural and
suburban motor, trucking will drop
to a low ebb of efficiency unless
concerted and immediate action is
taken. Not only transportation, but
the roads themselves suffer from
heavy snows and the resultant dam
age done when the thaw comes.
The state of Kentucky has 90,190
automobiles.

Ten Million People See
Ford Pictures Weekly
The "Ford Educational Weekly,"
a film put out by the Ford Motor
company has earned for that com
pany the largest circulation of mo
tion pictures in the world. Ford
films are run in 5,238 theaters in
the United States each week. They
are also distributed throughout Can
ada, Europe, Asia, South. America,
Africa, Australia and many .other is
lands.
The Ford pictures are viewed by
more than 10,000,000 of people in
motion picture theaters each week.
But they are also in demand outside
of the theater. Churches, colleges,
the Y. M. C A., public and private
schools and even many of the coun
try's largest penal institutions find
Ford films particularly valuable be
cause of their high moral and edu
cational value. i
Many reels of Ford him showing
how certain special war materials
were manufactured have been se
cured by government officials to
serve as a part of the national rec
ords in Washington.
When a man buys his first
Cadillac, it is a natural sequence
for him to come into .our place a
few days later, to tell us how
wonderfully the car thrpttles
down and gets away to a quick
start in city driving.
