defender liable In expenses and?fO
Ilia lordship Hiitd he thought It was
proved that, courildtvring their previ
ously distant relations; there was a
remarkable Intimacy hoiweeti defen

kissed the defender bpth when they
?were alone and In her house before

have been conclusive had it not been
for one circumstance The defender
and the codefender w ere both members
of the United Krce church. 't here was
evidence that rouhl not be disregarded
that there was a certain practice of

in deference probably to jtrltKh Ideas. :

of matters, the k Isslng Indulged in

The Controlling Factors
in Price Making
On September 29th we announced a sweeping reduction in the
list prices of our motor cars. At that time we stated that there was
no economic justification for such action and it could only mean a ,
very substantial loss to this company.
This loss we very cheerfully accept in the interests of: a worthy
movement to decrease the excessively high costs of living. But no
business can remain permanently on a non-profit basis and, unless
commodity prices do ' actually decline, our experiment will merely
prove to be an expensive failure.
In brief, materials and production costs must come down in the very
near future or the price of Paige cars must inevitably go up. These two
elements ? materials and production costs ? are the controlling factors -
in price making and upon them rests the entire manufacturing structure.
We have stated the facts in a blunt, straightforward way. Paige cars
are today selling for less than the cost of production and you, of
course, realize that such a condition cannot continue indefinitely.
It merely remains to affirm that we shall not, under any circumstances,
depart from the high standards of quality which have always char'
acterized our vehicles. Irrespective of cost, the Paige will continue
to be a fine mechanical product ? worthy of your complete respect
and confidence.
