Heads Own Field in Cook County, Selling 705 Cars-High Production Mark ia Established Nash moved forward by rapid strides to lead all cars in its field in sales during September according to E. 0. Springer of the Nash Suburban Sales company of Winnetka, who reports he has received the figures covering registration of sales in Cook County. These figures are highly important, the north shore dealer emphasizes, because "As Cook County goes, so goes the nation in automobile distinction." In accomplishing this the Nash company established a new prod~ction record in September, and accordmg to present indications October will run ahead of last month. In spite of the fact that there were fewer working days than in most months the production was 20,575 units or 7,976 cars more than were turned out in September of last year. Also this was 6,145 cars more than were turned out in the best September in the history of the Nash organization. The Nash company reports that the sa les records show that in September 705 cars were .sold in Cook County. This total placed Nash third in the li st. but first in cars in its own field. The two cars which led Nash in sales were Ford and Chevrolet. The records show that 1,057 Fords and 842 Cbevrolets were sold. The record shows that 626 Buicks, 449 Chryslers and 349 Studebakers were sold during last month. "The 400 series did it," said Mr. Springer.

Salvage Systems Found Important at Big Dodge Plant Under the salvage systems developed by Dodge Brothers, tons of iron, s~eel and non-ferrous metal scrap, and tmmense quantities of paper, leatl~er, fabrics lumber and other matenals are either reclaimed for uses in the plant or are sold as scrap at the highest market prices, according to C. Miles McDonald, Evanston and Wilmette Dodge dealer. · The value of all scrap. material is quite an item and with the big production and reclamations at the Detroit plant, the necessity for disposal has become an important feature of the factory's business. High standards of dependability and performance demanded in trucking and commercial hauling are insured by road tests for every truck that leaves the final assembly line of the Graham plant, truck division of Dodge Brothers. Despite record-breaking production and a heavy bank of unfilled orders, the company insists that all trucks and commercial cars must be car.efully tested on a concrete proving course within the factory grounds. On this test track, all capacities and types of Graham . trucks ranging from the Merchants Express to the threeton units are carefully checked before final delivery to dealers. It is a common sight to see a dozen different types on the track at once, following each other around the track in rapid succession, and · representing the hunffrptfs of varied types .in which the company furnishes trucks.
