Let US be perfectly frank and state
that this confusion in the public mind
IS the natural result of certain state
ments and acts of some manufacturers
who belong to what we would term
the "opportunist" class.
These understand there are several
of them-have recently announced
reductions" in prices to what they
brazenly term Pre- War" standards.
Now, in not a single case that we can
recall, has the reduction actually
been what it purported to be!
In every such case the Wartime
peak price was fictitious.
In no case had it been in vogue for any
considerable period-most of them
were announced just before the war
ended.
In some conspicuous cases the War
time prices had applied only to the
individual buyer-the price to dealers,
the wholesale price-had not been
changed.
This is Inside stuff we are telling you
but the case calls for absolute frank
ness if we are to clear your mind of the
erroneous impressions created by such
tactics.
The confidential" reason given for
the last Wartime raise in price to the
public but not to the dealer-was
for the benefit of the dealer"
On account Of the closing down of
factories, automobile dealers were
confronted with shortage of cars
and continuance of expense.
That was all right so far as it went
but was it sound business to protect
them at the expense of their Gus
toners?
Instantly the war ended-and it was
most une1pcctcd-these makers ran
for cover.
They knew their product could not
compete in the open market at it's
fictitious Wartime price.
So they hastily announced "reduc-
tons"
Conditions had not + have not

much as 1870 and reduced 2Oeo!

It is such tactics that discredit the
entire automobile business.
The ones most injured by the present
confusion in the public mind are those
who did not take advantage of War
time condition to Profiteer.
Chalmers was one Of those. We arc
not "opportunists.
Much as we sympathized with the
plight of Chalmers dealers when our
plants had to discontinue making
motor cars and go, 100 per cent, to
making war materials, we did not
adopt any questionable cxpedient to
protect Chalmers dealers at the ex-
pense of Chalmers buyers.
So there has never been fictitious
a War ime-priceo on Chalmers Motor
Cars.
Therefore we have no margin now to
"cut."
Chalmers has been the greatest value
in its class during the past year.
During several years past, in fact, but
especially in the last twelve months.
That was one reason for the trernen-
dous popularity of the Chalmers car.
The other reason was its all-roand ex-
cellence- matchless quality-its
great relative value.
At times we felt we would be COM
PEELED to increase prices, but we
firmly resolved to give the buyer the
benefit so long as we were working I'D
materials purchased in normal times.
Labor was higher-but overhead was
actually lower, because we charged its
legitimate proportion on war work.
We tried to be fair to all concerned
to Uncle Sam, which means the whole
people; and to Chalmers BUYERS,
who are the Best People!
Had the war continued a year longer
well, we still would not have raised
prices for the simple reason that we
would have made no motor cars.
The whole question resolves itself
into this:-was a manufactured
justified in raising his price to buyers
solely on grounds of shortage of
cars?
Not on any actual extra cost of build.

We contend such practice was not

Chalmers did not do this.
Stop to think of it and you will recall

Chalmers prices have been and still are

We cannot do otherwise.
Nor can we see any sound reason for

ditions for long time to come.
Materials certainly will not cost aav
less while the whole world bids for our
supply.
Wages viii never return to the pre-
war scale.
The United States Steel Corporation
has said so-and that is the worlds
largest employer of labor.
No, the competition Of the Cheap

change matters,
European labor is insisting on a higfex
scale of living-thc American scale.
And on that scale it costs just % much
to live in Europe as in America. Just
as much.
So wages there are being standardized

Better do SO at once, too-for it is
