South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1918-12-19

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-
'acturerS who belong to what We
would term the "opportunist" class.
These makerS-and there are sever
al of them-have recently announc-
ed reductions" in prices TO what
they brazenly term "Pre-War"
standards
Now, in not single case that We
can recall. has the reduction actually
been what it purpOrted to be-
In every such case the Wartime
peal" 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
erS, the wholesale price-had not
been changed.
This is inside stuff We are telling
you, but the case calls for absolute
franknesS 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 a shortage of cars
and continuance of expense
That was all right so far as it went
but was it sound business to pro-
tect them at the expense of their
customers
Instantly the war ended-and ii was
most unexpected-these makers ran
for cover.
They knew their product could not
compete in the open market at its
fictitious Wartime price
So they hastily announced "reduc-
tons"
Conditions had not-have not
changed an iota Still they an
nOunCed "reductionSr
Look at the figures-compare prices
of those cars then and noW-the
normal prices of a year ago; the
peak" price of the late Wartime
period and the present reduced"
prices.
And you will find that in some cases
Wartime prices we're increased as
much as 70 per cent and reduced 20
per cent
In other cases the increases amount
ed to 80 per cent-the recent ere
auctions" to 10 per cent.
We are sorry to relate that this Spe-
cies Of strategy has been reSorted
to by the makers of one car that,
formerly, we considered above such
practices.

1t is such tactics that diScredit 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
Wartime condition to Profiteer.
Chalmers was one of those. We are
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 expedient TO
protect Chalmers dealers at the ex-
penSe of Chalmers buyers.
SO there has never been a fictitious
"a War-time-price on Chalmers
Motor Cars.
Therefore we have no margin now
to "Cut.
Chalmers has been the greatest val
ne in its class during the past wear
During several years past. in fact,
but especially in the last twelve
months
That was one reason for the ire
mendouS popularity of the Chalmers
car.
The other reason was its all-around
exCellenCe-itS 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
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 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 manufacturer JUS
tilted in raising his price to buyers
solely on grounds of a shortage Of
cars?
Not on any actual extra cost of
ouilding-but greater demand
than supply
We contend such practice was not
juStitied-waS not quite fair
Chalmers did not do this.
Stop to think of it and you will re-
call that in 1915 a 5-paSSenger
Chalmers cost $3.50.
That in 1917 the then model sold
for $3.50
That that same model. since great

CATTLE AFTER WAR

The United States at present
probably has more purebred
cattle Of beef and dairy types
than Is possessed by any other
nation or combination Of ma
tions. according to the depart
ment Of agriculture. At the
close Of the war European coun-
tries will require the different
types Of purebred animals to re-
build their depleted herds.
Study Of present and future
world conditions leads to the
conclusion that continental Eu-
rope will bid high for the dairy
type. while Russia will require
all types, especially the beef
types. It seems certain that i'm.
porting countries will require
cattle free from disease.
Disease eradication In our cat
tie Is therefore q matter Of the
highest Importance not only for
the benefit Of our own consum.
ers but to facilitate sfter-the-
war trade.
