ABILITY
TO LOWER COST
Present Production Elk
pense Prohibits Reducing
Prices of Motor Cars.

Detroit. Mich. March 2s.-An un-
usual amount OF interest Is shown by
prominent figures in the automobile
world IN the announcement purported
TO have been made N Los Angeles re-
Gently by Henry Ford that he contem-
plated organizing q new company 10
manufacture a car IN the near future
which would sell for either $3.50 or
$500.
According 10 local automobile men
in touch with the situation. unless
Henry Ford sells his Interest IN the
Ford Motor company outright his pro-
posed s25o-ss0o car might not be pro-
duced for a long, long time. The rea-
sons are obvious.
On his arrival home from Los An
geles, Mr.. Ford announced that his
son, Edsel Ford would retain the
presidency OF the Ford Motor com
pany. ito protect our interests and
the interests Of the thousands OF en-
ployes." The plans for the new com
pany call for the participation OF Ed
sci Ford. Would the present minority
stockholders Of the Ford Motor com
pany permit their president TO engage
in active competition with the Ford
ceediugs would be the answer
Henry Ford owns IS p percent OF all
the stock OF the Ford Motor company
Would be be permitted TO organize
and foster a competitive company
Again court proceedings prOtrude
themselves into the discussion
AS n matter OF fact. these questions
might tie the new venture Up In liti-
cation for a period Of years The pro
ductive side OF the proposed project
offers Just as interesting problems
In recent disclosures. IL became
known that in 1916, on a production
OF f72,350 cars a profit OF from SIS to
$3.50 was made. The following year
the price was reduced $50 per car
Mr.. Ford said he did not believe in
such awful profits" But with higher
production in 1917. costs were also
probably reduced so the profits were
from between $50 and SIS car SO
that when the Ford Motor company
was achieving its best record in every
respect. its most popular model was
costing about $3.50 or $500.
Now. then. how Henry Ford viii be
able 70 produce at the very outset, a
better car. a cheaper car. and one
more up 10 date than those now on the
market" IS, OF course. Henry Ford s
secrets: but there are many who doubt
these possibilities.
with production costs increasing at
the present time rather than decreas-
ing. It seems almost a physical impos-
sibility TO manufacture a motor car
better than those now on the mar
ket" for a price ranging from $3.50 TO
$500.
Thus. analyzing the situation. Il
seems that there remains little to
cause the Detroit community TO feel
apprehensive over the new venture.

Bent Rims Ruin Many
Tires, Sdus d. G. Booth

The average motorist, despite his
constant endeavor TO decrease his tire
upkeep cost, frequently overlOoks one
Of the most important long mileage
factors. according to some Of the tire
experts OF Akron. where most OF the
tires are manufactured. Rim neglect
they say, is just as serious a tire
menace as low grade rubber or de-
Lective fabric.
Inasmuch as most discussions con-
corning tire conservation deal largely
with the tire itself one Of the larger
rubber companies IS sending out a
statement concerning the rim situa-
ton. 1t is pointed out that bent. loose,
creeping and rusty rims are condi-
tons that the tire consumer must al
ways guard against.
a bent rim, for example. has
ruined many tires under 500 miles Of
service when that same tire would
have run 5000 or 1000 miles II proper
attention had been paid TO the rim"

Quick Tire Service.
