The Country Has “Gone” Nash
February Biggest Month of
Business in Na§h History
The cyclonic sweep of Nash sales is
like a political landslide.
For five successive months Nash busi—
ness has swept far beyond the highest
previous records for these same months.
Nash sales at all motor shows to date
average 114% higher than 1924.
February), though a winter month and
shortest of the year, saw mounting
public demand drive sales and pro-
duction to the highest point in Nash
history.
And March has opened up with an
added momentum sure to spwd sales
far past the great February record.
