NEW PRICE TO TAKE EFFECT
IMMEDIATELY.

The Odds Motor Works has an
nounced a further reduction in the
prices Of passenger cars and truck
models 10 take effect Immediately.
The reductions from the spring
prices on the Model 43-A four sylin-
der range from $500 in the touring
and roadster. 20 $500 in the four
passenger coupe; a drop Of $4O5 in
the price Of the truck chassis, and
reductions i'm the eight cylinder
models up % $685..
This latest price reduction said
Raw Cortright Of the Oldsmobile
Sales Co.. simply emphasizes IN
greater measure the extraordinary
values CIdsmobile has consistently
offered 10 the public. The fact that
Oldsmobile values have really been
exceptional is proven by the fact
ti.at public appreciation Of these
values has already ranked Oldsmo-
bile among the first half dozen pro-
ducers Of motor-cars for the year.
The chief reason for this envia-
bic record is the fact that the Four
Cylinder Model asa and the Eight
Cylinder Model Al which represent
bv far the greater part OF our 1921
production. were built and priced
on material and labor purchased IN
the 1921 market. This means that
there were no old inventories TO be
charged against these models-and
that all stock purchased was fresh
material billed at che gradually de-
cuning prices Of the present year.

REQ SHIPS TRAIN
LOAD OF MACHINES

Another indication a. a return 20
normally and a further proof that
business conditions are getting back
20 their old time footing Is evidenced
By the shipment of REQ Speed

by the REQ Motor Car Co. at Lam

factory within a period OF three
weeks. Az in the previous case. the

Company Of Boston. Massa chusetts.
REQ officials believe that this is the
first tralnload OF trucks ever shipped
for commercial use. At least IT IS
believed that y is the first train load
OF the same capacity and model ever
sent out
The first train load. about equally
divided between Passenger Cars and
Speed Wagons, was shipped 10 Bos-
ton two weeks ago. II comprised
237 units and this shipment was
scarcely on its way when another
telegram was sent from Boston ask
ing for an additional train OF Speed
Wagons from the Lansing "a ctOry
and the order is on It's way.
Particular significance Is attached
20 the fact that this train load ship
ment consists entirely OF REQ Speed
Wagons. Upon this fact is based the
contention that business conditions
look brighter than ever before. 1t is
pointed out that If one section Of
the country has sufficiently recover

year ago 20 use REQ Speed Wagons
in train load lots. the outlook is
