QUANTITY DOES NOT
ALWAYS CUT PRICES
BY LEO ]. FROST.
(Manager Franklin Motor Car Coz


a great. deal has been said as to
I quantity production making possible
greater quality at lesser price IN
I fact, this claim forms the basis OF
some OF the most used arguments Of
] the lower priced cars
The fallacy Of il is disclosed when it
is asked how much aluminium a manu-
facturer Of a popular car would have
TO buy TO secure il at the same price
as the steel which now enters into
their bodies; how many cord tires
would they have to buy so that nc
price per tire would equal the price
they are obtaining their fabric tires
for It can readily be seen that no
production within the range Of the
most optimistic automobile manufac-
turer- could take care Of the amount
OF stock that would have to be bought
under this condition
To anyone familiar with uanufac-
turing, the reason for this situation is
plain; That quantity buying OF ma
terial reduces its price per unit is q
condition that holds good only within
certain limits which are governed by
the quantity over which the prepara-
ton cost. or the cost Of getting the
machinery and processes fixed for pro-
ducing the material. can be absorbed.
For instance, the investment in ma
chinery must be wiped out over a GER
tain number Of units. the cost OF the
machine hand in making his set-up
~
so on with various other fixed ex-
penses- Beyond this point of absorp-
ton, every successive unit of material
costs the same to produce, no matter
how many. Obviously, no manUfac-
turer can afford to sell the product
below the cost determined within the
above limit
All material has an intrinsic value
This. plus the cost Of production and
selling. represents its selling price
Take tires. for instance. here the prep
aration cost. or set-up. is very small
therefore, the lowest price Of tires
would be the value Of the material in
them and the cost OF making them,
provided the selling cost is obliterat-
ed Therefore manufacturer need
not buy tires in unusually large vol
ume to get advantage of a low pro-
duction price.
Above the critical point spoken OF,
tn only instance where quantity buy
ing can be an influence is in the re-
duced cost Of selling. which makes pos
sible a certain discount to the pur-
chaser who buys in quantity. This al
so has its limit because only where
one consumer takes the entire output
of a manufacturer is the selling cost
held TO its lowest point. practically !
zero Very few are the manufacturers
who will consent to their entire pro-
duct being sold to one consumer, for |
fear of jeopardizing their future mar
ket- For this reason, all products must !
share a certain portion Of selling cost.
At the best, buyers could share in any
saving in selling expense by a COM !

MINNESOTA TO PUT

Mr.. Cooley said The commission is

Much powder will be required in its
work in the next few months.
The Locomotive Works Company has
located place which IL blieves will
prove safe one for the powder. The
old Richmond iron Works plant near
the Fair Grounds, has been selected
This plant has been vacant for long
time. The Locomotive Works people
stand ready to open II up. ard to give
many men work.
City ordinances restrict the handling
Of explosives. In order to secure the
right to store or handle as much
powder as the company desires, it wilt
be necessary to amend the city ordin-
ance.
Chief Joynes and Mayor Ainslie
nave been considering the matter. The
question was before the Fire Board on
Monday night.
AS the Locomotive Works is about
shrapnel for the European powers. 1t
lis quite, likely that G0unctl will be
called to pass upon the proposition.
A member of Council said last night
that he could see no reason Why. under
the circumstances. the ordinance
should not be amended to fit the &C.

The shrapnel shells weigh eighteen
pounds each, and are about two ftet

panty to manufacture about 5000
shells day. Ten thousand pound Of
powder will be used every four Gays.
The Fire Board continued the qnes-

is quite likely that CouEcil viii get
