AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY
BEST IN HISTORY FOR
1922, SAYS Mr.. JORDAN

Striking statements prophetic of
IKE future of the automobile indus
try are included in an announce
'ment just made in the Jordan Or
.ganization by Edward s. Jordan.
"Sales of motor cars in 1922
will exceed all previous records
made by the industry" said Mr..
Jordan
while conservative estimaters
figure that the total production will
be about 100000 cars, or 100 coo
short of the 1920 peak. it is our
idea that the figures for 1920 will
be exceeded before the year is ou..
Sales. however, will be concen-
trated on fewer lines, as COM
petition in the various price
classes is becoming very keen.
Those companies who have
maintained a definite policy of
building single models with a
strong leaning toward economy and
light weight shifting to meet pass
ing currents of public demand, will
be most successful. Every time a
company changes its model the
second hand valuation of the model
previously produced is seriously
impaired. This has an immediate
effect in curtailing sales.
Jordan production is now at the
rate of 40 cars daily, because the
Jordan company feels that this is
the year in which every company
must grasp and hold its position
lin the industry by giving the great
est possible value for the money,
and accepting the smallest posi-
bic margin of profit"
Jordan is adding an average OF
lone dozen new dealers daily, and
the production for May, 1922, will
be just three times as great as that
lof May, last year.
