FORD COMPANY TO
SHARE ITS PROFITS
Expects to Return Part of
Purchase Price to Its
Customers.

Proft-sharing in its broadest sense
is the proposition advanced by the
Ford Motor Company of Detroit, in its
recent announcement of new prices on
Ford cars-an announcement which, by
the way. places this car, as far as
price is concerned, directly in competi--
ton with the many makes of light and
cycle cars placed on the market within
the last twelve months.
The new price list probably marks,
in fact, the finish of many Of these
newcomers to the motor car teld, Tor
il practically stiles competition in the
particular line in which they had
hoped TO shine.
The Ford company purposes return
ing to buyers a part of the purchase
money, estimated at from $40 to $50
apiece. in twelve months-the sole pro-
viso being that it build and sell 3OO,-
600 cars within the next year. AS II
produced and disposed of nearly 22o,-
600 cars in the year ending August /,
1914, and hoped-for increase will be no
more than normal, so that the propo-
sition represents still further large
decrease in prices, bringing them down
practically to the cycle car level.
CASTOR Plaintiff, manager of the
Ford branch in this city, estimates
that the return to retail buyers
throughout the country next August
will be between $12,000,0OO and $751;
OOO. 900. He expects to handle through
his territory next year at least $4,000
cars.
ave have already started work on
our new building to take care of our
share of the increased production for
the coming season." Mr.. Plaintiff says.
"When the building is completed it
will cover 100000 feet of floor space"

High Priced Cars Are
as Popular as Ever
Packard Company Reports
Remarkable Sales Rec
ord for the First
Half of 1914.

Despite persistent reports of psyche
logical depression in business, the auto
mobile industry continues at a steady
pace along the highrosd of prosperity.
To accentuate the contradiction, it is
pointed out that conspicuous examples
of increased business are found in the
feld Of high priced cars, possession Of
which might be regarded as a luxury.
During the first six months of the
calendar year 1914, the Packard Motor
Car Company, for example, established
one of the biggest sales records in the
annals of that successful concern. Dur
ing this period, the company's net sales
totalled approximately $70000OO, and
its output Of motor carriages was ut
terly inadequate to supply the demand.
In explanation of these conditions
Alvan Macauley, vice-president and
general manager of the Packard com
pany, made the following statement;
"The manufacture and sale of auto
mobiles is perhaps the only specially
business in which every man, woman
and child in the United States feels a
deep and personal interest. Every one
who hasn't an automobile hopes some
time to have one. Those who fortu-
nately own a car are looking forward
10 the time when they can have a new
and better one.
"The automobile business has been
described as the greatest self-adver-
Using business the world has ever
known. The entire people are interest
ed, not only in having an automobile,
but in having the most up-to-date one
their purse will allow. | have been
greatly impressed by the eagerness
with which the schoolboy studies the
features of the various cars and
promptly forms his own opinion Of the
various new models as they appear.
"The American tendency is TO buy
what is most desirable, with the cost
as a secondary consideration. Also,
there ia a noticeable tendency toward
keener appreciation of style and luxury
in motor carriages. Every automobile
manufacturer appreciates the force OF
| this awakening, and is catering to IT III
so far as the selling price OF his prod
uct will permit.
"Gradually but surely the high grade
! field is narrowing down. Some manu-
/ facturers who formerly competed 1oi
this business have frankly abandoned
il in favor of product that sells at
lower price. Also, as the public be-
comes better informed, the line OF de-
marcation is being drawn more clearly
| between maximum service cars ahG
those of medium grade. The essential
differences are now quite generally uh'
Serstood. Makers of medium service
cars are recognizing this condition, as
shown by a tendency to reduce their
prices. A.
"The field for car presenting the
happy combination of beauty in line
luxurious riding quality, and extraor'
binary service quality is distinctive
one. There always will be that class
which demands the last word IN work
manship and design, putting quality
! first and then seeking the best value tC
/ be found in that particular field.

NEW MODEL STUDEBAKERS
Two New Types Brought Out
for Next Year.

Local Studebaker representatives
have received formal notice Of the 1e-
tails of the new Studebaker "four
and six" cars. In addition to many
improvements in design the news Is OF
especial interest, as il involves raol-
cally lower scale of prices than ahy-
thing heretofore asked for cars OF
such quality. Reduced weight, greater
roominess, more powerful motors ana
attractive lines are other points OF the
announcement. 60
Additional Importance attaches 20
the announcement, as It contains INC
first intimation that the StudeoaKer
Corporation has added TO its line TWO

and a three passenger -four roadster

as the figure placed on the STANDARD
