The ~apid increase in Nash sales in recent months which resulted in Nash leading all cars of its field in Cook County last month has be~n general not only in all other .p arts of the country,- but also in Canada, according to E. 0. Springer of the Suburban Nash Sales of Winnetka. Mr. Springer has received figures covering other sections for the Nash factory. "The big strides have come with the introduction of the Four Hundred series" said Mr. Springer. In Hennepin Count¥, Minnesota, in which Minneapol~s is located, Nash, in the month of September, registered 103 sales placing first in its class and third in the general list, Ford and Chevrolet running, one, two. Three hundred and Chevrolets wereforty sold. Fords and 148 While Nash was making this fine showing, Buick registered 99 sales; Chrysler, 91; Oakland-Pontiac, 73: Hudson-Essex, 6 i ; Whippet-Willys Knight, 63; Studebaker-Erskine, 41; Dodge, 33; Oldsmobile, 31; Graham Paige, 31 ; Chandler, 23; De Soto, 21 ; Hupmobile, 18. Of equal interest is the registration report from the entire. province of New Brunswick, Canada. Again Nash is the leader in its own field and again third in tbe general list. A big point to be considered in this connection is that the cost of a car is considerably higher in Canada due to the duty. Here's the way the sales line up in New Brunswick.. Ford, Chevrolet.

Motor 44 Newest Chandler Series Finds Favor With Women According to a survey just completed by the Chandler factory among its entire dealer organization, the new Royal '75' Eight closed models, an· nounced a short time ago, are finding wide buying interest with women. "Fundamentally women like to drive a motor car which provides an aristocratic appearance, a minimum of attention and is easy to handle and maintain," says Tom Hay of Tom Hay and Son, Evanston dealer. "In this new series, Chandler engineers have anticipated these essentials, with the result that this '75' line incorporates a style trend in body design that is refreshing, and a strict departure front commonplace standards. Appointments throughout are noted for their convenience and utility valfie. This series also provides a wide range of body color choices ; and what woman is not as particular about the color of her car as she is about her ne~ gown? "Then, there is the matter of easy handling. A new ball bearing steering mechanism enables any woman to drive and park an one of these new Eights with a minimum of eflort. According to Chandler officials, tests have been conducted where the car has been steered with just two fingers. "From the standpoint of lubrication . any woman can lubricate the · Royal 'iS' chassis by just pressing a plunger. This is not · only a convenience feature, but a big factor toward efficiency and longevity. . : "It will be admitted, that women like to drive a car that assures a minimum of driving effort. With this series incorporating Westinghouse vacuum brakes, which operate at a touch of the toe on the brake pedal, with onethird less effort than is required to operate the average brake, but with three times the braking effort, it is only reasonable to assume that this feature alone has been a big factor with women showing a keen preference for the Royal Eight '75' Chandler." .
