According to K. T. Keller, vice
president in ohurpre or production.
"The offleiajK of the fhryftler 'or
ponitlon developed this plan
whereby vacation .periods rnlglit be
Kiinultanflously enjoyed by all em
ployees only after u study which
extended o.vr a three-year period.
"Production experts tn many In
dustries havo long been aware that
production suffered during the
summer months, due to the fact
that crews at work over the six to
eight .weeks, period usually neces
sary to complete vacations, nec
essarily had to he nkeletonized and
occasionally had to Include tem
porary employees not always fully
familiar with the worklm? opera
tions. The result production and
Hales plans were sometimes ser
iously upset.
"In order that all employees
might have full vacations with the.
minimum effect on production, we.
planned after careful Htudy to ef
fect u closure of the above, plants.

when all production and saleH rec
ord for Chrysder Motors have been

.exceed ail prcvlourt years. We are
uble, therefore, to anticipate ac
curately the sales requirements of
the fifteen day vacation periods in
the various divisions, and thus to
mnliifritn nor retail deliveries.
"While this one-time vacation
policy Is admittedly and innova
tion," declares Mr, Keller, "Jt is
one which we have undertaken to
pioneer after exhaustive study of
the problem from a production
viewpoint. The receipt of orders in
advance of normal have given us
this year our first opportunity to
givi the new system a practical
trial. If the plan works as antlcl

RICED TO GIVE YOU GREATEST VALUE
CONSIDER the delivered, fully
equipped price of this charming
Nash "400" Sedan, and you'll see
immediately it is a car you certainly
should consider, when you get ready
to buy.
For here, at a delivered, fully equipped
price much lower than you would
expect to pay for a car of its size and
character, is an Advanced Six "400"
Sedan with the Twin Ignition, high
compression, valve-in-head, 7-bearing
motor with the beauty and style that
have made the "400" a heavy favorite
among all the year's new cars and
with a host of other costly-car fea
tures never available before in this
price field.
Such features, for instance, as Bijur
Centralized Chassis Lubrication which
oils 29 rKissis points at the pressure
of a pedal. And alloy steel springs in
dividually designed for its size and
weight, correlated with Houdaille,
double-action, outboard-mounted, hy
draulic shock absorbers. And the
"world's easiest steering"!
These are only a few of the features of
this Nash "400", but they give you an
idea of its greater value and the ex
traordinarily fine performance you
may expect from it.
The delivered, fully equipped price on
this, and on a"400" models is lower,
for the simple reason that all this
equipment Bijur Centralized Chassis
Lubrication, Houdaille hydraulic
shock absorbers, bumpers, spare tire
lock, and tire cover is installed at the
factory and included in the factory
price. Some dealers charge as much as
$50 to $60 extra for bumpers aloue.
