We used to sell another line of
TIRES. And we believe they
were good ones. But we were
asked many times, "Do you
think that Tire is as good as the
Goodyear?"
So we figured if our customers
made Goodyear their standard
of value why try to sell them
any other kind.
And for that reason, we are now.

It required many months of
careful analysis on the part of
Nash service men to arrive at the
exact cost of each of the scores
of adjustments and minor opera

various times may be subjected
it. required also a long system of
intensive training of dealer's serv

standardized eqnipmect of the
most efficient design before the
"flat rate" system could be instal

As far back as 1918 the "flat
rate" plan of service was adopted
by some of the Nash dealers; af

under the guidance of the factory
service department the system was
installed first In the large cities
and later in the smaller communi

Braking equipment utilizes the
mechanical type of four-wheel
brakes, with 220 square inches of
braking surface. The service brake
operates on all four wheels, while
the hand brake operates on the
rear wheels. The action of the
service brake is entirely indepen

An outstanding mechanical fea

volume groups of cars, with dis
tinctive models characterized by
quality and beauty.
