BETTENDORF To
FILL BIG ORDER
Car Manufacturers Land Contract
for ever Million for Steel Un-
derframes and Trucks.

An order for $500 steel freight
car underframes and 1850 sets of
cast-steel trucks has been placed
with the Bettendorf company by the
Pacific Fruit Express, a subsidiary
corporation of the Southern and
Union Pacific systems. The new or
der will amount TO approximately
81, ESQ 900 worth OF work and, to-
gether with the orders now being
worked upon, consisting of 1000
composite gondoia cars for the Mil
waukee railroad and / 900 steel
gondolas for the Burlington rail-
road, will keep the plant fairly
busy until August /, J. w. Betten-
dorf, president Of the company,
states.
According to Mr. Bettendorf, the
competition to obtain orders for
railway equipment has been very
keen, and a disposition to obtain
the work at prices that preclude
the element of profit with all the
probabilities of a loss is manifest
Contract letting becomes more of
a question OF policy as to what
business should be taken care of
with a view of retaining an es-
tablished trade.

which we frankly admit can not be met on
sound permanent business basis.
We made Knight motored cars before the
WHY'S Overland Company did and after eigh-
teen years of building up this automobile bust
ness we have not the slightest intention of re-
firing because a competitor may temporarily
make an Improbable price which, if not met,
might give him monopoly of the Knight bust
ness and the power to again make a price of
$4,000 for his touring car, a price we never
charged for our, we believe, better car, when
the seller commanded the market
We will maintain the relative prices we es-
tablished on lines by straight 10 percent
reduction of our prices, reserving the right to
increase these prices without notice and assum-
ing no obligation to fill orders at these prices
unless same are made firm by the customary

We priced our cars for this season as low as
present costs of labor and material allowed and
were satisfied to meet any and all competition
based on possible production costs, having
faith that our speciality in Knight motored car
produces for the buyer maximum value for the
cost and that our facilities for production
comparatively efficient compared with other
manufacturers.
We priced our four-cylinder cars higher than
the WHY'S Knight cars as they are in our
opinion worth more money and we felt the pub
lie would, upon examination and use, realize
this fact and give share of the business.
The WHY'S Overland Company in their recent
reductions have made prices which we believe
are below that at which they or any other manu-
facturer can produce and market their Knight
product.
