At a meeting of directors of the Nash Motor Company yesterday in New York, President Nash reported net income of $1,206^66.09 for the three month period ending August 31, after deducting manufacturing ex penses including depreciation, selling, and administrative expenses, and af ter further deduction for local, state and federal taxes. Dividend action was taken in the form of a quarterly dividend of '$1.75 per share' on the outstanding preferred stock, payable November 1, 1924, to holders of pre ferred stock of record at 3 o’clock p m., October 20, 1924. In commenting upon business dope during this third quarter, President Nash stated that both volume and revenue were fully up to expectations in view of- the fact that during this period production and sales naturally tapered off on current models to per* rait the proper introduction of new models August 1. With respect to future prospects, he said that every indication pointed to most successful continuance of prosperous conditions for thj company. At the time the new models were' presented to the public, the company’s dealers had satisfactorily disposed of f ormer models and were in excellent position to launch the new models. At no period in the history\of the company, has such widespread inter est attended the disclosure of new models as greeted the advanced, Six Series and Special Six Series, and since August 1st, the demand for cars has progressed so vigorously* that de spite the greatest production ever at tained, the company is oversold by a large number of cars. A heatjy as pect of the situation is the evenness of the demand all over the country. Even in districts where general busi ness is below normal and in agricul tural regions that have been experi encing difficulties for several years, the dealers of this company are re ceiving a large volume of orders. It is safe to say that the character of these models has served to place the company and itfc products in a more highly favorable light with purchas ers than ever .before. 1 0 01 I 0 0 M. E.

You cannot find in any store as fine an open-box spring as THE ACE at so low a price. This statement we want you to check for yourself. Ask your favor ite merchant to show you THE ACE and then test it in evefy possible way that reveals quality. This spring is different. It has 142 more colls than similar springs—some of them higher in price! These 142 extra coils tie the main spirals at the CENTER. Ordinary springs use stiff wires or slats for that purpose. You get extra comfort from this exclusive feature in THE ACE, without any extra cost. THE ACE spring has no “side- sway” because Simmons stabilizers prevent it. These act like the shock absorbers on a-motor car, and you cannot find them on any ordinary open-box spring, even at a higher price than the Simmons ACE sells ..for. Study the spring you are using now. Compare it with THE ACE and see how much comfort and lifetime use you get—yet how little you need to pay for it! THE ACE price is low because it’s built by thousands in the largest bedding factories in the world.
