OF VEHICLE
DETERMINES WHAT
PRICE SHOULD BE
Many Factors Enter Into Cost OF Vehicle Which Can Be
Used In Determining It's Fair Selling Price-Dur-
ability, Comfort, Economy Performance AS Well
AS Reliability All Cost Money To Build Into Car

There is no reason. with any eco
nomic basis whatever, why prices of
automobiles should go any lower than
they are today. Rather to the con-
trary. In fact, prices right now are
lower than they should be, having
regard to the cost of labor and ma
terials, by which is meant thai many
manufacturers will have great diff
Guilty in escaping loss this year, even
if their sales are enough to keep
plants busy.
But the question today with the
buying public is, What is the right
price for a carr" This question agi-
tates the manufacturer as well as
the public. but it cannot be answered
directly. The only fundamental way
to go at the matter is to try to de-
termine what makes the price of the
car.
Argument as to which cars are the
best value for the money are fire.
quent, but conclusions are hard to
make because there are so many diff
ferent ideals as to what a car should
be. A car costing $4,000 can just as
easily be good value as one costing
$500. 1t is merely a matter of being
able and willing to pay more for
durability, comfort. economy, per-
Torrance and reliability. 1t is also
a matter of what car is best value for
any particular man, depending upon
what he wants in an automobile. for
automobiles are made of different
combinations Of certain definite
qualities.
Appearance being a quality, it is
less definite than other qualities and
cannot be estimated like other quail
ties. A large part of appearance is
due to design, and some cheap cars
have better lines than some high
priced cars.
The cost Of making a car or body
is not Increased by good lines. OF
course. curved surfaces and panels
are more expensive to make than flat
surfaces. but the fancy curves are
out of fashion today.
The other part of appearance con-
sists of finish. quality of painting,
hardware. accuracy in fit of doors
and so forth. This part of appear
ance divides itself between "dura
bility and comfort" Appearance of
paint finish and durability go abso-
lutely hand in hand. Appearance of
trimming and fittings is a part of
comfort.
If percentage values are given to
these qualities. it follows naturally
that no car can be 100 per cent per-
feet. Take the $4,000 car of today,
we can give it a perfection figure OF
merit of q little over rs per cent.

SENSATION OF LIGHT CAR FIELD ATTRACTS PUBLIC

Here's the new Jewett Light
Six, the sensation of the light
car field, today. Built by Paige,
it embodies the results that have
been arrived at from long months
Of experimenting, and the car
was thoroughly tested in nu-
merous ways before being of
fered to the public.
Harry M. Jewett, head Of the
Paige organization, and for
whom the new car was named,
is justly proud of the new car.
The inset shows a happy like
ness of the genial manufacturer.
To show the almost complete
absence of vibration in the new
Jewett it was taken out for
spin one bright afternoon last
week, and the camera snapped it
while the car was going so miles
per hour. The print is shown in
the lower picture.

Studebaker Sells
Car Every Seven
Minutes In ". Y.

NEW YORK, May 6.-(SpeciaD--
That complete revival of business
has at last been experienced is the
verdict of automobile men here as a
result of sales records made during
the months of March and April.
Studebaker is prominent in New
York district sales again this time.
the average of one car sold every
seven minutes, or 6s per day being
the record for that car. 1t win be
seen that the gross business done by
Studebaker has. been tremendous. and
the best and most cheerful feature Of
it all is that no let-up is seen at this
time
To accommodate its increased bus
mess, Studebaker has been forced TO
make extensions to its branch facll-
ities in New York, and an investment
of $4,000 has been made already IN
these new buildings and appoint
ments. In Brooklyn an investment
of half a million dollars is being
used. In addition to this, a parts
depot is being installed to serve The
customers in the Bronx district.

Answe, Our understanding is that
the Radio Corporation of America has
no competitor in the transmission Of
radio messages between the United
States and foreign countries. The con-
tract between the Radio Cooperation,
the American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, the General Electric Com
pany and the Westinghouse Electric

as we understand it, that patents de-
veloped BY any of these four concerns
shall be for the benefit Of the company
doing that particular business. For ex-
ample, patents on telephone apparatus

Telephone Company and patents on
radio transmission to tho Radio Cor
poration. This arrangement benefits
the Radio Corporation, in that it Sc
cures the use of discoveries made by
the other three companies. According
to our understanding. the Atlantic

arc stockholders in the Radio Corpora

To ngure the precise yield on a bond It
is necessary TO use yield tables. but tho
approx innate yield can roughly be Inquired
out by the following formula: Divide the

subtract the market quotation from par.
