DETROIT, July 5-Those automo-
bile makers who are continuing their
lines without change throughout the
Summer season, arc now applying the
spur to sales divisions and distribution
outlets with the aim of sustaining sales
volume through the seasonal let-down
and against forthcoming neW-model
production likely to give them fresh
competition. The results, factory eX
ecutives say. show an irregular trend,
one good week usually being followed by
a period that shows a falling off in
quotas that have been set
Although the general condition shows
an increasingly "Spotty" curve in the
rate at which the country is able to alb
serb new cars, scheduled output is be-
ing maintained at prescribed levels.
Excluding the lowest-priced divisions,
which continue to push the largest vol
ume, it is believed that other factories
are managing to keep their distribution
slightly ahead of the production. This
phase is pointed to as the basic indica-
ton of strength together with general
action by the companies in conserving
cash and assets. Consequently the reg
ular mid-year readjuStment covering
inventory and vacation let-doWn is pro-
ceeding on an orderly basis with price
lists maintained except in instances
where clean-upS have been ordered to
prepare for new offerings.
One exception is Marmon, which this
week has revised downward on its low
est-priced line of Fights. The reduction
ranges up to $3.50 and is declared to he
