In his characteristic manner. Walter
r. Flanders, president of the EMF
Company, has again made the auto
world sit up and take notice. He has
taken the first definite step in the much
heralded talk about the impending IeyO-
luton in the automobile industry By an
nouncing A sweeping reduction in the
prices of the two standard cars made by
his company. The EMF 800 has
been reduced from $1.250 to $1,000. while
the Flanders '20'' has dropped from $50
to 500. The reductions are to take place

price Of it's 30-horsepOwer car Is regard

den.
Again, we are very heavy buyers of
raw materials, and enjoy facilities by
reason Of that which very few comma
aim to produce the best value possible
for a reasonable price. and the fact that
there are now 1S.OO 80 cars in use
indicates that we have succeeded pretty
well. We make our own drop forgings,
motors. bodies and tops and do our own
stamping, SO we are absolutely indie
pendent"
