DE Bear Sees No Reasons
For Price Reductions Now

"Supplementing all that has been
said in the past few weeks regarding
price reductions" said Harry J. De
Bear, manager Of the Maxwell -Chal-
mers New York branch, at has been
both interesting and satisfying to no
tice the stimulus to our business that
has been brought about by the large
advertisements which appeared in last
weeks newspapers regarding the in
tention of both the Maxwell and Chal-
mers companies not only not to de-
crease the prices of their cars but to
give absolute guarantees of that fact
to every customer purchasing, cover
ing a period at least until June, 1919.
"The many arguments that have been
advanced in our advertisements as to
why it would be almost impossible for
us to reduce our prices under present
good faith by the public, evidenced by
the increased number of sales as a re-
suit.
"The fact that neither the materials
that go into the cars nor the labor
which produces them has been re-
duced one cent, nor show any indica-
tion of being reduced in the near fut-
ure, convincingly assures us that
there is absolutely no reason in the
world for a reduction in the prices Of
automobiles at this time.
"There is one satisfaction in the
minds of purchasers of Maxwell and
Chalmers cars under the prevailing
prices, and that is the companies
guarantees that these prices will not
be reduced between now and next sum
mer, and not even then unless condi-
tions in the labor and material mar
ket have been very greatly changed. 1t
should surely be very gratifying to
motor car purchasers to know that the
companies manufacturing these cars
are behind them, to the extent that
they have always. offered real, true
value in their products, even during
such stringent times as we have recent
ly experienced"
