Especially is this so if the model he is offering
you today is precisely the same model he
offered you then but at 20 TO Is per cent
advance now over his then prices (even after
his recent reduction).
Is it not logical to assume that as his price
yesterday was fictitious, it is still almost
equally so?
1t costs more to build motor car today than
it did year ago.
Materials are higher-wages are higher All
costs are higher.
1t will continue for long time to come on the
present scale We believe.
Tell you why.
Materials are now in demand by the whole
world-will continue to be during the years
OF reconstruction in Europe.
Especially is this so in the case Of steel, copper
and other minerals.
Rubber also will likely range higher.
Rubber is the biggest single item of cost in a
motor car and it is in great demand
Wages will never 60 back to the pre.war scale.
Every student of the problem is now agreed
upon that.
You have read in the newspapers lately the
statement by the United States Steel Corpora
ton that that concern is not going to reduce
wagcs-and that concern is the biggest en-
ployer of labor in the world.
1t is well!-pass the prosperity around and
we will all get our share.
If the mechanic gets more pay, all lines of
business beneht-and more people are able
to buy motor cars.
We can see no reason to expect that the cost
Of manufacturing Maxwell Motor Car will
be less in year from now than it is today
War or no war, the price of the Maxwell
product would have been precisely VIVA: it is
today.
We did take advantage Of the War time con.
dtion-but only to incorporate in this new
model several changes and improvements
Factory busy on war work, engineers and
tool makers had brief respte-and we used
that to perfect the Maxwell product
We have speEt more than 100000 on

then set the price.
We do not cut our price to meet the price of
car OF inferior quality.
Nor did we, as we have shown, take ADVANTAGE
OF Wartime eA-use to raiseathc price to a
fictitious figure.
Had the war continued and we had not made
another car. the buyer Of e'last Maxwell
would have paid the regular price--and no
more.
The Maxwell policy is clean and it is consist

hose changes and refnements in ;ilis new
1919 model actually cost more than the diff.
terence between its price and that OF the 1913
model.
So the price of this new maxwell should have
been more.
But we are content to accept smaller margin
of profit per car in the interest of greater
volume so have continued that price on this
1919 model
There are today more Maxwells in hands of
users than Of any comparable carve are

Recently you have seen announcements of
price reductions some makes of motor cars
These seeming reductions 1--WE use the term
seeming" advisedlyD have given the average
buyer an erroneous impression.
That impression is to the effect that the price
of motor cars generally is above normal and
will come down in the near future
Nov. as matter of fact, that is not the con-
dition at all.
There is no warrant for any such assumption.
Just analyze the situation yourself and see if
our statements are justified
Recall the prices that existed OF certain makes
Of automobiles before the United States went
into the war and compare the prices OF those
same cars today.
You'll find that any reductions that have been
made were necessary.
In word they apply only to cars that were
over priced--war- time priced-befcre such
reductions.
For example:-Consider four makes Of cars
that formerly were priced in close competition
with the Maxwell.
Compare their pre-war (norrnaD prices their
ar-tiHe peak prices and their pre- :. mt
reduced" prices. Well designate them "a"

Car "B" 10000 l285oO 1850
Car &c. 6 535oo $50 $500 o as5.9 90
From tine above it is clear that some reduced"
prices are still too high.
For when the price of product was in
creased by 80 per cent and then dropped back
ten per cent, you can't say it has yet been put
back where it belongs!
cases
Just consider a moment:
If maker is able to drop back to "pre war
prices today, what basis did he Justify his
war time price? And especially his most
recent war time peal" price?
Certainly he bought no materials while we
were in the War-he could not.
he bought them before, then lie bought them
at the same rates we did
In that case there was no real reason for his
excessive wartime peak" price.
If he cannot justify his prices o. yesterday,
can you accept his statements today?
Only gauge you have as to the intrinsic value
of his product is--its pre-war price.
