Simpson, manager of the local branch of the Faciiic-Nash motor, distributors dis-tributors for Nash passenger cars and trucks in' the intermomuaia section, to l dealers, is home from a trip to the factory fac-tory at Kenosha. "Wisconsin, Mr. Simpson Simp-son found the factor. very busy on a tremendous tre-mendous order of Nash quads for the United States government, this firm having a very large number of these four-wheel drive trucks to make especially espe-cially for war service. Such trucks are not especially designed, but conform almost al-most eniirely to the specifications of the reuuhrr Nash ouad. In addition to taking care of the wants of the covernrnrnt the company is also engaged in ruiiuing quads and passenger cars in quantities for the trade.
