4 Word About Price

You have read a lot about price slashing
on automobiles.
What do they really mean?
Just this.
Taking the pre-war prices of 1917 as
basis. The seventeen leading cars in
the market today, even at the tremen-
dous slash in prices, show an average
advance of sixt-nine per cent over the
1917 prices.
Holmes prices today are only thirty one
per cent over what they were in 1917.
