Wealthy Farmer
Admits He Robbed
Bahk in Illinois
Holdup Nets $2,500 Which
Men Buried on Place All
of Loot Is Recovered.
V Bloomington, III., June 25. Own
. ing a $50,000 farm and perhaps as
. much more in live stock, Mont
'. gomery North, one of the leaders of
t the community, is a prisoner in the
county jail today. He confessed he
: had robbed the State bank at Hudson
t Monday 'afternoon. The job was
pulled with the coolness and bravado
T of expert bandits of long experience.
y There was not a hitch in the pro-
; cram of North and his pal. Charles
5 Welch, the latter a man of 50, who
had 'been employed by North for
r several years as a hand about the
farm. Velch is from Iowa City, la.,
and is a floater.
Welch charges North with sug
; resting the holdup. He claims that
i North pointed out how easily a bank
' could be robbed. Welch finally
agreed to the robbery. They drove
to Hudson and at 1:30 p. m. Welch
entered the bank and stuck up the
cashier with a revolver. North then
tntered, taking about $2,500.
The pair was shot at as they left
the bank but Welch returned the fire
while North drove the car. They
reached a farm owned by North, and
going to an old barn, divided the loot
' and buried it. Welch went to Peoria
' and returned to Bloomington next
day. He was under suspicion and
was arrested here this morning.
He confessed and implicated North.
The latter was arrested later and also
confessed. The stolen money was
recovered.

Lower Prices
on Nash Cars
Effective July 2
Nash prices will be reduced,
effective July 2.
This conforms to our statement
made last October that Nash
prices would be maintained until
at least July 1, 1921.
The reasons were plain. Until
manufacturing costs were lower
we could not cut price without
cutting value, as Nash prices
were not inflated.
We pointed out then that while
the average rise in the price
of motor cars for a four-year
period had been 76 the price
of Nash cars had been raised
but 31.
This 31 included the addition
of cord tires as standard equip
ment and many other additions
and refinements which added ma
terially to the value of Nash cars.
So were-af firmed our fixed inten
tion of rigidly upholding the
high quality of Nash cars.
Since then every effort of the
Nash organization has been cen
tered on effecting sound manu
facturing economies.
New labor-saving devices were
added and production practice
so perfected that every process
of Nash manufacture is a model
of efficiency and economy.
The savings have been substan
tial. And they demonstrate as
nothing else could demonstrate
the remarkable Nash ability to
produce fine cars at the lowest
possible cost
Even while working production
costs downward we were im
proving Nash cars still further.
Now we can announce for July 2
a greater Nash value than ever at
a reduced purchase price.
At the new prices the leadership
of Nash cars is even more em
phatically apparent.
