KKNOSHA, Wis., August 17, (Special) One of the most import ant announcements of the current automobile years came tills week when C. W. Nash, president of The Nash Motors company, notified his national sales organization of sweeping reductions in the retail prices of the famous Nash '4C0" series cars. Kffecllvc now, he declared, the motoring public! will benefit by re ductions on "400" models, ranging as high as $300 a car. This drastic lowering of prices on the cims whoso international popularity lias broken all Nash sales records will affect models in the two popular juice groups the Advanced Six and the Special Six series. The ex act reductions on each model will bo announced locally. This big Nash price reduction, which comes as a welcome surprise to motorists th country over fol lowing tin? brilliant success of these new type, twin-Ignition and advanced design cars, is made pri marily to clear the manufacturing decks for the introduction of new Nash models later this year, ac cording to company officials. Tho new cars, they declare, will carry prices higher than those prevailing before the present reduction. Thus the buying public Is offered trlpla benefits in securing new Nash curs before tho arrival of the l'JIto models. Muyqrs may avail themselves of the finest type of automobiles evur developed by tho great Nash fac tories and cars which' havo incor porated in them the advanced en gineering principles which will also feature the year's new models. They are given the opportunity to write off the considerable sums in depreciation which usually affect current models when new ones are announced: and they may secure automobiles far in advance of their field at costs which strike u new low- noto In automobile merchan dising. In the estimates of automotive engineers, these Nash reductions represent the highest automobile values known in American motor car history. ....
