The orders for Paige Cars since

enth, have eclipsed all autumn
records in Paige history. 1t demon
strates that Paige Car, considered
as utility-investment, is "First in
Peace'-as well as War.
However, let us frankly explain
our position. 1t is both gratifying
and embarrassing. Paige sales are
far above normal. And Paige pro-
duction is and, we fear, will continue
for many months to be, far below
normal.
The Paige promptly agreed to
every Government request. The
Day the Ar,nistice was signed Paige
had practically reached hundred
percent War-Work basis. 1t had
taken us ten months to reach it.
Now the Government has lifted.

There is the question of steel.
Half of Europe must be rebuilt.
For nearly a year Americas own
construction and expansion have
been halted. For the Work of Peace
steel is needed as sorely as it was
for the Work of War.
We recognize the needs of
motorists and dealers, who denied
during the War, are clarnoring for
Paige Cars. We are concentrating
our energies upon this tremendous
problem of raising a sub-nornaal
production to cope with a super
normal demand. And, while solv-
ing this problem, we ask the patience

to its extremely powerful discharge. We
