A Name that is Gold in the -Night The names of men and products are lifted above the average through distinguished service or accomplish ment. Such are the names that help to brighten any Broadway names that are gold in the night. The General Tire is one. Now, more than ever before, the confidence In General's policy of absolute maintenance of quality is : shown by the big swing to General's everywhere ... a confidence that has been earned through General's policy of not tampering with quality. ... This is the reason you hear users everywhere speak of General in termsot almostunbelievaMe.rnileage, com for' and safety.

Jack Allen Supply Go; nt FROM NINTH TO F0DKTH PLACE IN SIX MONTHS 1 lrld's Easiest Driving Control NO OTHER CAR in all the world controls quite so easily with such complete lack of effort as the new Nash "400"; Nash engineers have developed a new steering mechanism to achieve this result. An ingenious arrangement of roller bearings and a roller-tooth traveling in a worm gear, reduces fric tion to a minimum hitherto thought impossible. Women drivers find new help and gain new confidence in parking. Little effort Is needed to bring the "400": up to, or away from, the curb. ' Gear shifting is just as easy. The 400". clutch pedal depresses at a touch, scarcely resisting the weight of your foot. The conveniently placed shifting lever moves smoothly, easily, from one speed to another. If you ever find that driving a car tires you, try driving a Nash v400". It will give you an entirely new con ception of how effortless, how pleas urable, motoring can be! meNewNABH 400' l.TI roRTANT "00' Twin-Ignition motor 12 Aircraft-type aptrk plugs High compression lloudaille and Loeov hock absorbers Salon Bodies lead tilt Wmrld in .Holm- Car llse FKATi; REM JTO OTItF.K C.llt MI.1S THF..1I .11.1.
