CHICAGO-In the first down.
ward movement of prices since
1889, Hotpoint, Inc, one of the
nations largest electric appliance
manufacturers, has announced it is
joining in the fight initiated by
General Electric company, to curb
imitation by reducing prices on its
electric ranges, refrigerators. water
heaters and Disposalls. James j..
Nance, president, above, said that
the reduced prices amounted to as
much as 1919 on new 1948 models
recently introduced, and that re-
ductions of as much as $40 were
made on some popularity priced
models despite the greatest de-
mand for Hotpoint appliances in
the company's history.
"As leader in the electric APP
plianse industry we wholeheartedly
subscribe to this crusade for lower
prices. We expect to maintain
these prices provided there are no
further increases in our cost of
labor and materials, and that there
is no distortion of materials
through rationing or new alloca-
ton" Nance said. He added that
imitation is the greatest threat to
Americas progress and prosperity:
THE country's gains of recent
years could be wiped out if the up
ward trend of prices and wages
were not reversed"
Hotpoint is now completing a
$50 million expansion program at
five midwest plants that will triple
former production capacities on it's
electric ranges, water heaters and
dishwashers. The company's facili-
ties for the production of refrigera-
tors and home laundry equipment
have already been enlarged to dou-
