EDWARD S. JORDAN
SPEAKS ON FUTURE
Prophesies 1922 Will See All
Previous Sales Records
Broken.

Striking statements prophetic OF
the future OF the automobile in
dustry are included in an announce
ment just made in the Jordan or
ganizadon by Edward s. Jordan.
sales OF motor cars in 1922 VII
exceed all previous records made by
the industry" said Jordan While
conservative estimates figure that the
total production Will be about 1900
600 cars. or 100, 900 short Of the 1920
peak. II Is our idea that the figures
for 1920 will be exceeded before
the year is out. Sales, however will
be concentrated on fewer lines. as
competition in the various price
classes is becoming very keen.
Those companies who have main
tanned a definite policy Of building
single models with a strong leaning
toward economy AM light weight
without shifting TO meet passing
currents Of public demand. will be
most successful. Every time a com
pany changes its model the second
hand valuation of the model prev
iously produced is seriously impair
ed This has an immediate effect
i'm Curtailing sales. Jordan produc-
ton is now at the ra-e Of forty cars
daily. because the Jordan company
feels that this is the year in which
every company must grasp and hold
its position In the industry by Civ
ing the greatest possible value for
the money. and accepting the small
est possible markin Of profit"
Jordan is adding an average of
one dozen new dealers daily, and the
production for May 1922, will be
May last year.
