Carried on 3 Series of New Models Now Displayed Now It can be tod! Today, throughout the week and during the month to come, the Nash Motors company is for- , mally presenting to American mo torists the three entirely new and different series of 1934 motor cars which for weeks past have been the consuming interest of au tomobile experts the country over. In Salem special announcement displays and receptions are open to the public In the showrooms of the James Hi Maden Company. Inc., $50 North High street, and in other Nash showrooms through out the territory. Never in the history of Nash motors has public interest in its new car development been so In tense and widespread. The news leaked out months ago that Nash engineers and designers were de veloping a 1934 product so strik ing in style and in advanced per formance dualities that it would literally change American auto mobile standards and make motor ing a sport again. As this development work ad vanced, interest and anticipation grew. First it swept the engineer ing and technical world, where Nasa engineering genina and the company's many contributions to motoring improvement are mat ters of permanent record. Then distributors and dealers were given an opportunity to see. the first new models produced, and their enthusiasm Btirred merchan dising circles to a point above any new model event ia Nash history Many new distributorships and dealerships were added to the big Nash organization long b e f o r.e any of the new cars were avail able, Now the new 1934 models are available for the biggest national presentation experienced In years and can be viewed by an motorists. All models of the 1934 Nash Una. which in eludes a new twin ignition Big Six series on 11 Scinch wbeelbase; a. new aavaneea iwm ignition Eight series on 121-inch wheelbase, and a new Ambassador twin -ignition Bight series on wheelbasea of us ana iz incurs, introduce distinctive "Speed stream" styling making them the most noticeable cars on the road. ' All are endowed with, a reserve of power and a sparkling perform- ance quality which lifts them high above even the lofty automobile standards of the past few years, and adds Immeasurably to the pleasure of driving. The three new Nash series for 1934 add prestige to a great name and carry on the Nash tradition of care and precision in all details. All three have twin-ignition valve-in-head motors. Developed first I only for very costly cars, Nash. ( several years ago, stepped out ahead and engineered twin - igni tion into the motors of Nash cars priced above $1200. This year Nash has done the unexpected by building twin - ignition valve -in-head motors into its complete line. Twin ignition, a costly feature n manufacture. Drovdes many ad vantages to the owner not. found i in conventional a r n g 1 e ignition ; motors. Two erjark plugs simul taneously ignite the gasoline in the cylinders. This not only pro Tides greater smoothness of op eration, but also 22 per cent more power, 5 miles per hour more top speed, and 2 extra miles per gal lon of gasoline, than a motor of equal size with only single igni tion, H Is one of the important reasons why Nash cars accelerate so responatvely. - The body lines of the 1934 Nash flow with a natural 'Speedstream' grace from front to rear, every line blending with every curve In perfect harmony, and expressing the quick, youthful tang of mod ern life. In developing this most radical ly advanced line in company his tory, Nash has answered the great public demand for quality stand ardization by producing three se ries of " cars fundamentally the same in appearance, quality and mechanical precision different only in wbeelbase, weight, horse power, extent of luxury, and list price. SPIKE FAILS TO STOP POLICE cm I RACE FOR HIS First of the safety awards to true kr bus and taxicab drivers who have operated their vehicles for six months without accident are to be made early in Novem ber, according to word received by W. H. Zosel, manager of Goodrich Silvertown, Inc., here, from the B. F. Goodrich com pany, sponsors of a nation-wide safety campaign inaugurated early this year.

In addition, each fleet having a perfect no-accident record for a year is awarded a certificate attesting this fact. A five-inch, spike threatened -but in Tain to defeat the ends of justice recently when it became imbedded in one of the tires on a squad car In which two- police de tectives were racing in pursuit of a fleeing bandit In Cedar Rapids, la. Soon after a filling station at tendant had been kidnapped and robbed ia Independence, la., the police squad car took up the trail of the alleged hold-up man fleeing in a light roadster. For two miles, the two cars raced, until, in passing over a via duct, the detectives noticed that one of the tires must be going flat, judging from the action of the rear end of their car. "Let's keep going until we have to quit!" yelled Detective Stanley to Bailey, his companion. One-two-three-four miles far ther on they sped, with the five Inch spike still firmly imbedded in the rear General Jumbo tire on the police squad car. The fugitive was the first to slacken nis pace and a a the nnllce scruad car drew alongside, it was swung directly into the side of the Dandlt s car, which was forced into the ditch. After taking into custody the rantive. who confessed nis Sunt. according to newspaper dispatch es the officers had a chance to look at their streamline Jumbo tires and found that the tire in which the sDike was sticking still had some air in it, due to the large volume of air which It con tained at unusually low pressure tht manufacturing company Is a recent venture.
