J. HERE b no car more deserving of popularity
than the Grant Six. It is the meeting point of
quality and moderate price, the first successful

t effort to combine the High, economy ana Bimpuaty
Comfortable cf four with the flexible power and anap of
the six.
But the new Grant Six goes further than this
it gives you beauty that you have never expected
and riding comfort that cannot be greater.
Three things have built the Grant Six success
the overhead-valve engine, the full-floating rear
axle and the 46-inch cantilever rear springs. Other
cars have one or two of these features, but no
other car of comparable price has all three.

Naturally, a car that gives so much is
in great demand. If you want to make
sure of a GRANT SIX this spring, now
is the time to order it

value on the market today.
Although the Nash Six was introduced

demonstrated the fact that it furnishes
unusual power with unusual economy.
In the hands of owners the Nash Six has
justified themost enthusiasticpredictions.

Auto Rest Garage, local distributors

the new large addition to the Stutz
factory is progressing as rapidly as
men and money can make It and that
It will be finished by the first of Jan-
This is the fourth addition to the
Stuts plant in four years and has been
necessitated by the tremendous volume
of business that has come with the
natural growth of the industry, helped
