CONCLUSIONS SOUNDLY USED Are Perhaps Fifteen Million Savingi Bank Depositors In United States and the Number Is Growing. Washington. America has no! touched her savings bank accounts during the period' ot industrial stress, except to increase It. The business man s bank balance Is reduced some what from the fat figures ot last year and the farmer can't sign his check (or what he Used to, but the man who has mone yln the savings bank has more there today than he ever had be fore. All ot which goes to show, a cording to the Federal Reserve Board's presentation ot the facts, that, while we've been tightening our belt And consuming less during the past sii month's we haven't drawn on our re serves but have strengthened them. The figures upon which this analysis 1a made are admittedly incomplete but they form the soundest sort of premise upon which to baso the above conclu sions.

This conforms to our statement mude last October that Nash prices would be main tained until at least July 1, 1921. The reasons were plain. Until manufac turing costs were lower we could not cut price without cutting value, as Nash prices were not inflated. We pointed out then that while the aver age rise in the price of motor cars for a four-year period had been 76 per cent the price of Nash cars had been raised but 31 per cent. This 31 per cent included the addition of cord tires as standard equipment and many other additions and refinements which added materially to the value of Nash cars. So we re-affirmed our fixed intention of rigidly upholding the high quality of Nash cars. The Nash Motors Company, Kenosha, Wisconsin.

New labor-saving devices were added and production practice so perfected that every process of Nash manufacture is a model of efficiency and economy. The savings have been substantial.
