Gime: who has returned from New York where he attended the annual New, York | automobile show and the con-} vention of: Dodge Brothers dealers, Dealers from all Farts of the east | reported excellent prospects for bus- iness, many of them now having far more orders on their books for spring | delivery than in the last two years, Mr, Gilman said. Business generally has increased, and business’ men are optimistic over the revival which. has been predicted for 1922. There is real basis for the. cpinions which have come trom the éast of the passing of} the business depression in that sec- tion, Mr. Gilman said. The automobile show brought deal- ers from every part of the United Statos, ;, There were:.1,700 Dodge Brothers dealers atthe convention, Mr: Gilman ‘said. The: assembly over- flowed the ball room of the’ Pennsyl- vania ‘hotel and other. rooms were used ‘te accommodate them at a big banquet. “The most noticeable feature of the automobile ‘show to me,” said Mr, Gil- man, “was that crowds were at the booths of the standard cars, which are backed by factory organizations of years experience and proved worth. The cars of the many factories which bprang up‘in the various parts of the east during the last few years, making a lmited number of cars with little capital to back them, attracted little attention. The booths of these cars were deserted while the booths’ of the cars of standard make were crowded.” Additional testimony as to the busi- ness revival in the east is given by Mr. Gilman in the experience of his dealings with Dodge Brothers. He said that’ cars can be obtained from the factory now only on bona fide sale orders, reports.from:the factory, being that taey are behind inthe fulfill ment of orders; “3.0 Show Increase of “105,000 Cars _and Tricks Over Previous © gh Wear sos i ek Retail sales « of Ford ‘cars, trucks and Fordson travtors have again ex- ceéded.the million, mark, for the .year 1921, according to a. statement given out today ‘by the Ford Motor Com- any. “ Fi The Ford... factory and ‘assembly plant. production figures. reached “a total. of 1,050,740 cars, trucks’ ters tor the yeiir, with retail sales by dealers approximating 1,093,000, Which in ‘the United States‘alone surpasséd tha 1920 retail sales record -by 104,213 Ford cars and trucks! +.» The Ford Company. pys the ‘outlook for 1922 is decidedly.

Recent reductions in Ford car'and truck. prices brought them to a new low level.

This is the fourth price cut in the Past sixteen. months. time the price of the touring car alone , ha§ been cut from $575 to $348, a re- | duction of 40 per cent.

NEW PRICES CAUSE SENSATION Fifteen hundred Dodge Brothers Dealers were surprised to learn that the prices of Dodge Bnothers Motor! Cars were reduced in effect on Janu- ary 184 Officiay announcement of the reduction, the form and nature of which caused a sensation in automo- bile circles, was made by F. J. Haynes, president and general manager of Dodge Brothers, at the Eighth Annual x CAPSULES Each Capsule=( bears name £4 | | | During that 'g | 1 | | By NEA Servic Chicago, Jan, 25—When Mrs. Ro: Blasek Dvorak and her sister, Josefa Blasek, arrived in a railroad station here, the u army cf taxi- drivers saw the poss.bility of Cwo A eee Meeting and Lunchcaon. of -Dodge Brotnery Dealers in ‘the Pennsyl- vania Hctel late this afternoon. The reauction made by Voage Broth- tpth retroactive and indefinite, that is, | acecrding to the announcement, the new prices of Dodge Brothers cars will not be made public until Febru- ary Ist, but will apply on all cars sold after January 1st. This meaas, of course, that persons who have: bought Dodge Brothers cars since the first of the year will be catitled to a re- tate, the amount of which is still un- known to the public. The official form of the Dodge Brothers: announce- ment as it appeared. in newspaper ad- vertisements so timed that their ap- pearance on the streets would be al- most simultaneous with the verbal an- nouncement at the Pennsylvania Ho tel meeting, was as follows: “Dodge Brothers will announce on February Ist, 1922, a substantial re- duction im the prices of their cars er- fective January 1st, 1922.” In view of the many other definitely announced reductions by various auto- mobile manufacturers it was instantly conceded in all quarters that Dodge Brothers had made a shrewd maneu- ver. All officials of the company, in- cluding Mr, Haynes, however, refused point blank to make‘ any comment in ; addition to what was formally - an- | nounted.
