Nash Prices Gannot Be Reduced Because Th ey Have Never Been Inflatol TKcto. will be no reduction in the price of the Nash Six. We think it only fair to state otir policy plainly in Justice to present Nash Six owners and those who contemplate purchasing this car. ' Nash prices cannot be reduced because present prices represent he actual intrinsic value of the product plus a profit sufficient only to maintain manufacturing operations. That b a plain 'statement of fact. We cannot buy the high grade material used in the Nash Six any cheaper. We cannot buy the skilled labor employed in the making of the Nash Six any cheaper. These two factors determine price. Until materials are lower or labor is lower, no one can manufac ture such a car as the Nash Six for less money.. We say no one advisedly because here in this great plant covering lOlacres of ground and employing 5000 skilled workmen, manufacturing costs are redoced to their lowest leveL Here, the Nash Six is manufactured 93 in its entirety. , We have every advantage that large resources and a well established business afford the purchase of raw materials on a big scale, rierfected manr facturing processes and the distribution of costs orer alarge outpnt. This insures minimum production costs for each individual car. the price of the Nash Six has risen only31.Cca sidering the addition of cord tires and other equfp ment as standard equipment, the actual increase has been only 24. - During that time, the increaa price of odier motor cars shows an average rise of 76. - The cost of living has risen 104.
