HEAD OF JORDAN MOTOR
TELLS OF TRADE CONDITIONS
BY EDWARD s. JORDAN
President. Jordan Motor Car Co.

A series of striking facts revealed
by a countrywide survey brought
our own company to h decision to
make another big price reduction in
Jordan cars on April list.
The business situation revealed by
this survey will enlighten many bust
ness men. The volume of business
in 1929 will not be sufficient to keep
all plants and all industries going at
a capacity sufficient to sustain pres
ent price levels.
The wide disparity between prices
of different commodities, particular
ly the spread between producers
and consumers prices, is yet too
great. Business will not be avail
able for all sellers until this con-
dition is changed.
In the. meantime the only way to
get more than your share of the
business is to take it way from the
other fellow who has not yet ADJUST
ed himself to the new conditions.
If you ask me how to do this i
will say that it is through consistent
leg work and intensive sales effort.
Farm crops With the recent in
creases, are now on the 1913 level.
Retail clothing is 113 per cent above
farm crops. Labor in the metal
trades is lis per cent above. and in
the textile industry 10 per cent.
above. In the building trade labor
is 90 per cent. above, and the $
of living generally is variously esti-
mated from So to "a per cent. above.
Four fundamental factors must
change materially before there Will
be enough business for everybody to
keep his plant going without loss.
The national tax bill must be
greatly reduced. This means a re-
duction in the cost of running the
government. Railroad rates on GER
tain commodities will have to be re-
duced. Wage scales are still as far
out of line as prices themselves
Rents will have to come down.
The survey indicates that when
these four factors are futher read
justed there will be a gradual I'M
provement.
In the automobile industry prices
on some makes of cars are now be-
low cost. This cannot continue. A
rising tendency in certain lines is in
evttable after the first of April.
