PEERLESS MAKES NEW
RECORDS IN OCTOBER

All previous records for high pro-
duction, sales and cash receipts Of
the Peerless Motor Car company
during its 81 years OF existence were
shattered during October.
This fact became known last We'd
nesday through a statement of the
months business issued by r. H. Cc1-
Inns, president and general manager
OF the company.
Both open and closed cars were
leaving the plant hourly by freight
express and Driveway and when the
final figures were available It was
learned that 1000 cars were pro-
auced and shipped from October
to 81, inclusive.
During October the production de-
partment operated at its maximum
from the beginning tC the end of
the month. Each week a new ship
ping record was established only to
be shattered by that of the succeed
Ing week.
The number of cars shipped was
more than five times as great as the
volume during October OF last year
and more than 36 per cent greater
than that of last May when the pres
ent management broke all previous
records and set up new production
figures. And yet, II is officially
stated, the company has no finished
cars on hand. with deliveries still far
behind the orders.
