After having held its prices on auto

nearly year, to a point running from

of California has announced an adj

", ''and would have been amply justi-
fled months ago, but we delayed this
action just as long as possible. Rising
costs of manufacture have now made
any further postponement impossible.
Substantially, the new prices are
the same as those in effect prior to the
Goodyear reduction in May u. 1919.
when, it will be recalled, we We're first
of all the tire companies to announce
a reduction from prices prevailing at
that time.
I'VE then had in our warehouses at
Akron a large stock of raw materials
secured at medium cost and with many
conditions caused by the war, promis-
ing to return to their normal state
soon, we felt that we could pass on 70
our customers the price benefits accru-
ing from these conditions
But all this is changed now The
unprecedented demand for our pro-
ducts has necessitated the purchase of
new stocks of raw materials at geatly
increased figures, and with all other
costs. including labor, rising constantly,
we could only advance our selling price
to meet these rapidly climbing manu-

important advantages in purchasing

WEST CARRIES OFF
ALL SALES RECORDS

The golden West carried off the
sales record for automobile show week
according to the telegraphic report just
received from the California Marmon
distributor, the AL. c.. Faulkner COM
pany who sold SO new series Marmon
81 cars al retail during the San Fran
cisco show week, totally eclipsing the
phenomenal records set UP at the Chi
cago and New York automobile shows.
This is an indication of the demand
the dealer in quality motor cars can
expect from this nation. The unusual
sales records set I'D first at the New
York show in January where IS Mar
mons We're sold at retail and later at
Chicago where Il cars We're sold at
retail are very much surpassed and
San Francisco with 80 retail sales
made during the week of its show is in
the lead and proves that the unusual
demand for cars is nation wide.
The fact tint all this, in advance of
the active selling season also shows
that the demand for cars is still far
ahead of production. Such records
will give added confidence not only to
automobile dealers but to dealers in
all sorts of quality commodities and
convince the manufacturers that they
were not unduly optimistic in increas-
ing their facilities and production as
greatly as they have. In other words.

MOON COMPANY HAS
PIONEERED IN The
AUTOMOBILE GAME

The MoEn company was one OIL the
earliest Makers of automobiles. and
| too much credit cannot be given to
them along with a few other pioneers
of the industry who risked their money
| and regulations in the early days in
bringing the automobile up to where
! il is today.
! Away back in 1901 the Moon car
| brought out the left hand drive, the
first American car to build such a
drive. and this has since become uni
versal in its adoption.
| The Hoon was one of the first cars
to go from four to six-cylinder
motor on light cars, and also they
adopted the first full floating axle on
any car. Strangely enough it was this
first car that won big race in Boston
OH the track there, known as the Moon
e-7 model.
The Moon company was perhaps the
first in America to put the front axle
out under the radiator. In those days
the radiator stuck away out in front.
They were one of the first advocates
OF using the same size of tires all
around upsetting the practice of put
ting smaller tires on the front wheels.
The Moon people have always been
pioneers in high grade body construc-
ton and credit is given them every

doors on the Dody OF the car, as many
oil the first automobiles had no doors

Real leather in upholstering is one
Of the first principles that the Moon
people. stood for. In the early days
there was a mixed opionion as to the
use of imitation leather, cloth or vari-
Gus substitutes. But the Moon has had
always the best high-grade hand
buffed leather and in this way has
made the uDholstering a feature of fhe
car.
The Moon factory was turned over
to war work and no cars made for ?
while. but their designers perfected the
