This car, which has participated in every
endurance contest held in and around
Washington and carried of honors in
all of them, will take drop of $500 in
price.
Speaking of this reduction, A. Gary
Carter, president of the company. said
yesterday: We have long contemplated
this move. and, in fact, We had almost de-
cided to put it into effect the first OF
the present year. However, like all other
changes that are made by business
houses We came to the conclusion that
it would be better to wait until the tour
ing season really topened.
The fact that the car is reduced in
price does not mean that We are con-
templating the use of cheaper materials
or workmanship. Our contracts for ma
terial are all let, and we continue to
use the same motor. transmission, ig-
milton system. and chassis. which have
proved their worth in a number of en-
durance contests where the machines
were put through stunts that no pri-
vate owner would ever think of calling
upon his machine to perform.
Present plans are for us to open a
showroom in Washington. In fact. we
have practically closed for place. the
location of which / cannot make pub
lie at the present time. We hope in this
way to be better able to take care of
both old and new customers"
