Packard Plan
Of Insured
Prices Pleases
BY Retroactive Idea Buyers
Are Guaranteed to Get
Benefit of Reductions if
Made Before Years End

Not since the war ended has any
thing in the automobile business been
done to stabilize conditions so much
as the Packard Motor Car Company's
recent announcement that they would
protect all their patrons against a
drop in prices. Packard's new policy
has undoubtedly cleared up the minds
of many prospective purchasers who
have delayed the purchase of a pas
senger or motor truck in their ex-
pcctancy of a big drop in prices
something that present conditions in
no way warrant.
"Whilc there is no prospect of a
drop in passenger car and truck prices
no one in the world can forecast with
certainty the price movements of the
next ten months, and the Packard
people feel that it is more than fair
to assure the present buyer of new
car or truck that if a reduction be-
comes possible during 1919 he will
share in it," says c. r. Notion, gen.
eral distributing manager.
"If at any time during 1919 we
should be able to make a price reduc-
tion in either cars or trucks or both
this reduction will be made rotroac-
tive and we shall refund to every pur-
chaser of new Packard car or truck
as the case may be between January
] and December 81, 1919 inclusive, the
full amount of the difference between
the price he paid and the new price.
In case of contracts executed prior to
any such price reduction but where
vehicles are undelivercd at the time
of reduction the distributor will re-
write the contracts TO conform to the
new price"
Tins is, wa believe, the Nrst iuaSAuca
on record Of any automobile company's
guaranteeing that al early buyer will
be reimbursed il case of a price re-
duction.
