J NORWICH BULLETIN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1919". The Pagkard Motor Car Company Resumes Production of Cars and Trucks NNOUNCEMENT that the famous Twin- Six Packards are to be available shortly after the first of the vyear, A0 5y is welcome news to Packard dealers and to thousands of waiting purchasers. Events of the past year have done more than any words of ours could do to fix Packard ascendency in the minds of the thinking men of the world. "The principle of the Packard Twelve- Cvlinder Engine is established before ail men as the most advanced and prac- tical development in modern motor construction. Geiting Back Into Production When the Packard concern stopped making passenger cars and went on 100 % war work, it had on hand finished parts to the value of six million dollars. These parts were all of the finest material, finished ir the careful pains- taking way of the Packard organization., No compromise on quality, no slightest lowering of standards owing to diffi- cuities in the material situation or the speeding-up process. Whatever the pressure or conditions, this organization knows but one stand- ard of quality, and that is the best. It will be clear to all that the posses- sion of this stock of finished parts en- ables us to resume production more quic’ly and smoothly than otherwise would be possible. No Change in Packard Prices Packard prices are based on cost of material. There was no rise in Packard prices during the war period based on what the trafficwould bear. There isno lowering of quality and consequently no leeway for reduction of price at this time. It is not easy for the motor car owner to detect reduced qualities in cars, in time to compare it with the guoted price. *Ask the Man Who Owns One” PACKARD MOTOR CAR COMPANY, Detroic Packard Motor Car Company New York City: Broadway at 61st Strect Brooklyn: Flatbush and 8tih Avenues Paterson: 489 Broadway Plainfield: 628 Park Avenus - Packard responsibility for the service the car gives is the best insurance a car owner can have. One reason this in- surance means so much is the fact that the Packard Company produces a greater proportion of all the parts that enter into its car than any other auto- mobile concern in America. You cannot well have responsibility without authority. And just to the extent that a maker depends on fac tors outside of his control, must he contend with varying standards of quality and impair the authoritative nature of his guarantee. Packard Trucks fir Immediate Delivery Packard truck production has been continuous. The only change from 100% war work is that formerly the Government took practically the full production, and now part of the pro- duction is available for the public. The Packard truck building organi- zation is the finest in the world. We have kept it free from the demoraliza- tion of hasty processes and the over- strain of high-pressure production. If anything, it has been strengthened and improved during the war period, and the standards of material and work- manship even more rigidly maintained. New Efficiency Test for Packard Trucks Another Packard truck efficiency test is scheduled to start February 1st, 1919, for the purpose of teaching truck own- ers and operators to reduce transporta- tion costand relieve freightcars to save gasoline, to save time, to save repairs. Prize money aggregating $17, has been provided. Prizes will not only be given to drivers, but also to account- ants and shipping clerks, in order to . emphasize the fact that truck efficiency is a matter of the whole approach to, and treatment of, the transportation question — the right truck, the right 391 William Street Newark: Broad Street at Ki inney Hartford: Washington Strect at Park New Haven: 204 York Strect Springfield: 832-34 State Street Jersey City: Boulevard and Carlton Avenue size truck for your average load, the way the truck is handled, and what you have a right to expect from its service. Packard Aircraft for Commercial or Passenger Purposes Since hostilities ceased, business America has not had time to standard- ize its aircraft needs. The Packard Company is not making a stock air- plane, but has a department to execute speciz! ~rders, or to advise and figure with ~rtation Companies, the Gov: or private individuals, As « rs-of the motor from which tihe iiberty Motor was made, and as producers of the most advanced type of airplanes for the Government, the Packard Aircraft Engineering De- partment may be said to be in position of first authority and to offer the most completeand practical department now available for the development of air- planes in this country. The Packard Organization as Transportation Specialists Whether of passenger or freight, and whether by highroad or air-route, this whole guestion of transportation is one we are treating with intensive PRrrieniog What with problems of reconstruc- tion, the certain and enormous expan- sion of basiness, the additional sirain on already overtaxed and inadequate railroads—with no-immediate prospect of railway betterment—there is crying need for specialstudy and analysis.of all other factors and means of service. No subjectbefore the business world is of more vital importance. It is one too often thought of in the round, and treated in vague, general terms. As individual problems become more specific and acute, it will be found of practical help to discuss them with the Packard Company, who probably pos- sesses more new data on transportation than any other concern in America. of New York Pittsfield: 121 West Street e Poughkeepsie: 239 Main St-eet White Plains: Mamaronack at Marting Averue Long Island City: Queens Boulevard at Hill Street
