WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1921 STORY OF PRICES ~ TOLD BY CHARTS C. M. McDonald, Dealer in Dodge Cars, Comments on Comparison of Values Made by Dodge Brothers Anyone interested in prices--and there are few of us who are not in- terested these days--will find some © wdusual disclosures in a set of charts just released to their dealers by Dodge Brothers. The charts are mot confined to automobile prices, as might be as- sumed from the fact that they were issued by an automobile manufac- - turer, but show clearly and accurate- ly the remarkable variations in the cost of hundreds of commodities over a period of seven and eight years. If, by any chance, your salary has been recently reduced and you are inclined to grumble, try the simple experiment of comparing your pre- sent salary with your salary in June, 1920, when the peak was reached in the prices of most commodities. If You are making as much now as you were then, you are still 41 per cent ahead of the game, according to one of the charts, which shows a decline of 41 per cent from June, 1920, to June, 1921, in the prices of 321 com- | There modities. If you have been reduced 10 per cent, you are 31 per cent a- head. "Dodge * Brothers did not issue these charts, however, to attempt to justify any salary reductions," said C. M. McDonald, North Shore Dodge man, "but merely to prove to the public that the price of Dodge Brothers Motor Car has been re- markably low all through the period of high prices, as compared with the general trend. How they could have made their recent big reduc- tion in the face of these figures is more than I can explain They were already below the present price of the great majority of commodities and they had not been getting the abnormal profit that retailers of these commodities were getting the last six or seven years. Still they reduced from $195 'to $365, bringing the touring car down to the astound- ing price of $985, f.o.b. Detroit, a few weeks after announcing that the car hereafter would be equipped all around with oversized cord tires. Dodge Brothers have unlimited re- sources and when they buy materials they naturally get the most advanta- geous prices. But still IT am not quite able to see how they sell the car at this figure. However, that is not a matter for dealers to worry about. I know that the car is better than it ever has been and I am here to sell it on that basis."
