FIVE RE0S IN
TRUCK CONTEST

Five men were recently awarded
prizes for the best records as
Speed Wagon drivers, including
careful driving. low depreciation,
economy of fuel, oil and tires and
for continuous service with low
maintenance, according to Mr..
Britain Of the Paulin Motor COM
.pany, distributors of REQ cars and
trucks.
''The five cars finishing Travelled
1902 miles during the time they
were under observation, averaging
IL Is miles per gallon of gasoline
and 4S0 miles on a gallon of lubri-
eating oil. None of these trucks
was out of commission for break
down, and, upon inspection showed
little or no mechanical defects.
1.-THE record of the Speed
Wagon in California is up to regu-
lar form and about what can be
expected OF the 10000 units
now in service" says Mr.. Britain.
"San Francisco presents unusual
opportunities for stamina tests in
any truck; the heavy grades, low
gear work, many stops and starts,
parking requirements-all contrib
ute to depreciation, cost Of mainte-
nance, tires and OIL"
The economy test was conducted
by the REQ Motor Car company of
California and the winners in the
test were drivers of Speed Wagons
operated by prominent wholesale

AUTO PRICES UNDER
PRE- WAR FIGURES,
SAYS DODGE DEALER

Considering the large number
of important improvements that
have been made, the latest sharp
reductions i'm the prices of Dodge
Brothers Motor car actually bring
them down below the pre- war
level according to Albert Korber.
the local dealer. To substantiate
his contention he pointed first to
the car and then to three closely
typewritten pages on which some
Of these improvements were
listed.
"The automotive industry de-
serves a lot Of credit for the way
it is going after the price ques-
ton" said Mr.. Korber. 81 am
not referring to Dodge Brothers
alone, even though l believe they
have done more than their share,
but to the industry as a whole
If manufacturers and retailers
in all other lines had taken a
similar attitude the public would
have been disabused of the pro-
fiteering idea long ago and buy
ing would have been back on a
normal basis much sooner. know
the public appreciates this, from
the way automobiles are selling.
II ran across an editorial the
other day which expressed my
opinion exactly. 1t was in the
Denver Times. I am quite sure
that your readers will agree with
what it says If you publish it,"
Following is the portion Of the
editorial to which Mr.. Korber re-
ferred:
"The automobile industry has
adopted heroic methods of restor-
ing business and has cut prices
until they are little short of ir-
resistible. In justice to one of the
half dozen leading industries of
the nation it should receive cred
it for this policy. In many in
stances it is said to have brought
the cost of the 1922 car down to
the price level Of 1914. which is
more than can be said for the
vast majority of industries.
"The fact is particularly upset.
ting to the average man already
owning a car because every
chop in the price of a new model
of the make he drives means a
straight proportionate, inescap-
able reduction in the value of his
used car. And there, naturally is
the rub. 1t is a strange thing
that the car owner is willing for
the factory to cut the daylights
out of its price schedule. but still
cherlshes an idea that the value
of the car he owns is unaffected
when he wants to dispose of 1t or
trade it in. Another instance of
Let George do it,
I'VE believe the retail automo-
bile business would be greatly
speeded up If the car-owning
public, which talks about the
high cost of living and the pro-
fiteering of merchants, would dis
abuse it's mind Of its own un-
warranted notions regarding tho
value of used cars, accept its
loss, trade in the old busses at
their actual value today and
start with a clean slate and not
even a regret for the past. There
is no known method OF sustain-
ing the prices of used cars while
the prices of new ones are being
slashed and the sooner the car
owner realizes 1t the quicker
business will pick up"
