Upward Tendency in
$1,000 Glass of Skies

Upward price tendencies of six
cylinder automobiles in the $1,000
field indicates a shortage in cars of
this price class because of a heavy
early spring demand, states Harry
NJ. Jewett, president of the Paige
Detroit Motor Car Company.
Asked as to possibilities of an in
crease in the price of the Jewett,
the Paige Company president said:
We note that three of our COM
petitors in the thousand dollar field
have been forced to increase their
prices. Certainly this indicates the
present tendency. 1t is our fixed
policy to give the public the biggest
possible dollars worth, to operate on
a reasonable margin of profit and to
avoid price increases. We cannot
promise. however. that the present
low prices for Paiges and Jewetts
can long be continued.
We have seen many indications
of q shortage of six-cylinder cars in
the popular priced field during the
coming spring. Attempting to give
the biggest dollars worth of motor
car value Of any manufacturer in
our price class, the Paige Company
buIit what is thought to be the larg-
est and most modern factory of its
kind for the exclusive production of
the Jewctt Six.
Every possible effort has been
made to make certain that we can
supply quality cars at reasonable
prices The wise buyer should
recognize that there is likely to be
spring shortage of desirable makes
of motor cars and that the price
tendency is sharply upwards"
