Thi3 is not palatable doctrine to manufac turers who, like ourselves, are actually facing higher costs today than six months ago; but it is the irresistible logic of the situation, and only as it is generally faced and courageously met will the restoration of the economic equilibrium be hastened. When Hare's Motors undertook the opera tion of the Companies under its control it was fully expected as we took much pains at the time to make the public aware that their increased production under the direction of our able engineering staff would eventually reduce costs regardless of the general price trend, but it was not expected that our opera tions would by this time have reached that stage and, as a matter of fact, they have not.

Nevertheless we are convinced that such procedure is today both sound and construc tive that the greatest ultimate profit is to be earned by taking a present loss and it is our earnest hope that before the period ex pires within which, under existing conditions, we can afford to maintain the revised price list, our business will have expanded enough and our costs will have dropped enough to warrant our making the new prices permanent. If not we shall have no recourse but to revise again and this time upwards. Because of the element of uncer tainty which obscures this point we are for the present accepting orders for delivery at the new scale until January 1st only.

Dallas Dort President Dort Motor Car Company "The price of the Dort car is reasonable and fair; the total net advance in list within a period of two years having been but 17 against advances ranging from 19 to 45 in the list of other leading makes; therefore there will be no price reduction by this company. "There has been as yet no break in material or labor cost that would warrant any price reduction in the Dort car. "On the contrary, materials have been purchased by us, and by all mptor car manufacturers, for 192 1 production, at a very considerable advance as a whole over 1920 material costs. "Therefore, unless those purchase contracts are treated by the pur chaser as scraps of paper or the seller voluntarily revises contract prices downward, there can be no justification for any motor car manufacturer to reduce prices unless he has been profiteering, which means that he has been receiving excessive profits. "If there be such manufacturers, this is the most opportune time for them properly to adjust prices to the sound values of their product." The present prices of current Dort models are guaranteed against reduction. W. S. Kip Motor Co. 1408-10 N.
