Here are some plain, unvarnished facts and figures which may serve to convince you that you owe yourself a ride in a Twin-Ignition-Motored Nash. With Twin Ignition instead of single ignition(two spark plugs per cylinder firing. simultaneously, instead of one) THE NEW higher compression is practical, and a much more efficient combustion of the gases is accomplished. ' The result is that the identical Nash motor, by actual test, produces 2 2 more power than with single ignition, S miles per hour more speed, and gives you 2 extra miles of travel from every single gallon of gasoline you buy.., la fairness to yourself, don't think of buying any motor car today, until you have seen and driven the brilliant new Twin-Ignition-Motored Nalt "400.''
