It is such tactics that disdedt the
entire automobile business.
The ones most injured by the pres
ent confusion in the public mind are
those who did not take advantage Of
a Wartime condition to Pro6teer.
Chalmers was one Of those. We are
not "opportslnistA."
Much a. we sympatihzed with the
plight Of Chalmers dealers when our
plants had to discontinue making
motor cars and 60. 100 per cent, to
making war materials, we did not
adopt any questionable expedient to
protect Chalmers dealers at the ex-
pense of Chalmers buyers.
So there has never been q fictitious
"a War-time-price on Chalmers
Motor Cars.
Therefore we have no margin now
to "cut."
Chalmers has been the greatest val
lie in its class during the past year.
During several years past, in fact,
but especially in the last twelve
months.
That wa oas reason for the tre-
mendous popularity q the Chalmers
car.
The other reason va III afi-aeoand
exeellence-its matEhjess quality
its great 1saative value.
At times w felt We would be COM
PEELED to increase prices, but we
firmly resolved to give the buyer the
benefit 90 long n we were working
up 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 buy
ers, which are the Best People!
Had the waf continued year long
er-we1l, We still would not have
raised prices for the simple reason
that w would have made no motor
carz.
The whole question resolves itself
into this was manufacturer JUS
tilted in raising his price to buyers
solely On grounds Of shortage Of
cars?
Not on any actual extra cost of
building-but greater demand
than supply. r.
We contend such practice was not
justihed-wss not quite fair.
Ch2imefs did not do this.
Stop to think Of it and you will re-
call that in 1918 q 5-passenger
Chaimers cost $3.50.
That in 1917 tho then model sold for
$3.50.
That that same medel. since great

Let US be perfectly frank and state
that this confusion in the public
mind is the natural result Of certain
statements and acts Of some manu-
facturers who belong to what we
would term the "opport unist class.
These makers-and there are sever
al Of then1-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 Dol
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 deal
en-, the wholesale prico-h7d not
been changed
This 10 inside STUFF we arc telling
you but the case calls for aboolute
franImess if we are to clear your
mind of the erroneous impressions
created by such tactics.
The "cou6dent;al" reason given for
the last Wartime raise in price to
the p,lblic-but not to the dealer
was 'tfor the benefit Of the dealer"
On account Of the closing down Of
factories, automobile dealers were
confronted with a shortage Of cars
and continuance Of expense.
That was all right 50 far a. IL went
but was it sound business to pro-
teet them at the expense Of their
customers?
Instantly the war ended-and it was
most ,mexpected-these makers ran
for cover.
They knew their product could not
compete in the open market at it,
fictitious Wartime price.
So they hastily announced "reduc-
tons"
Conditions had not-have not
changed an iota. Still they an
no,mced "reductions"
Look at the fgures-compare prices
Of those rs then and now-the nor
NAL prices of year ago: the "peak"
price Of the late Wartime period
and tic present reduced" prices.
And you win find that in some cases
Wm-tme prices were increased Is
much a. rs per cent and reduced 20
per cent!
In other cases the increases amount
ed TO 80 per eent-the recent re
duetions" to 10 per cent.
We are sorry to relate that tins spe-
cies Of strategy has been resorted
to by the makers of one car that, for.
mesiy, we considered above such
practices.

STONE CASTLE D. AR.
OBSERVE FLAG DAY
A RECENT MEETING OF THE
CHAPTER WAS MADE VERY
INTERESTING OCCASION.

On June 18th, in the home of Mrs
G. W. Dozier, Stone Castle chapter,
D. A. R., observed Flag Day. AS the
mebers and guests stepped upon the
open they were greeted by Mrs. G.
W. Dozier, ST., Mrs. G. W. Dozier,
jr., and Miss Dorothy Dozier, who
ushered them into the interior of the
spacious and well appointed home,
which was radiantly beautiful in gala
dress. The decorations carried out
the scheme of the national colors.
Americas trueness was represented
by magnificent blue hydrangeas, her
courage by bright red Gamma and her
purity by white oleanders. The
colors blended in tulle streamers
which were festooned from column
to column and entwined beneath
chandeliers. The American flag was
conspicuously grouped with those of
the allies, suggesting a strength that
comes from the union of nations and
representing force which in time will
ErlLg peace to the earth The colors
were also in evidence in the hair rib
bons worn by the young girls who
gave numbers on the program
The regent called the chapter to
order and held short business SEES
sion, during which the chapter voted
to donate an amount to the state
fund for the founding in a hospital
in France Of a room in memory of
Georgia's Crawford w. Long. After
the business the following interest
ing and instructive program was rem
dered:
Song, america" toast to flag,
Dorothy Dozier; vocal duet, Mes
danes Shields and Parks; origin of
flag, Miss Louise McNulty, age of
our flag, Elizabeth Geise; instru-
mental solo, Miss Clementine Mar
lin; to prevent the dissertation of
the flag, Miss Chap Saville; flag sa-
Lutte, chapter; reading, Mrs. J. E. Nor
ris; song, Star Spangled Banner.
The social hour was an enjoyable
feature o. the occasion Mrs. Dozier
was assisted in entertaining by Mes
DANES z. N. McNultv. w. A. Eu-
banks and Misses Bertha Lee and |
Louise I-cNulty. 4 salad course was
sc~ved in which the hostesses were |
assisted by Mrs. Lee. Miss Thornton. |
LIS, W. H. Locke and Master Ernest
Locke.
Mrs. James Lee, Miss Thornton, of
Parrot, Mrs. J. S. Lowrey, of Car
rollton, Mrs. W. W. Crews, of Bow
dor, Mrs. J. G. Parks and Mrs. W. H.
Locke were guests of the chapter.
As the evening hour drew near the
chapter members and their guests
dispersed with the full assurance that
the Flag Day exercises were fitting
finale to the year of successful and
far reaching activities. From the oc-
casion comes an inspiration which
will give zest to the work of another
year, which opens in September.
