Adoption Of the Packard plan" by

Gated following the application OF
the idea in one of Detroits largest

THE soundness of the Packard
plan comm ends it TO every manu-
featuring employer says eIr. wal
ters. 1t is just this: Cut deep into
the price of the most popular pro
duct in your line. Thereby YOU will
create a proportionate increase OF
employment for the workers.
Buying IS stimulated, and the ef-
fects OF the movement benefit every
line of business. every household
and every individual in the COM

and other Packard executives to give
employment to the largest possible

a seasonal slowing UP Of operations.
He selected one of the Packard pro
ducts, the one Of widest appeal. and
lowered the price on it TO point

succ essiOn of influence.
such a plan needs only the con

these units can be reduced i'm price
