REDUCE COSTS BY
LARGE PRODUCTION
CHEVROLET PL. AN PROVIDESRE

13 PASSED
The Chevrolet refund plan throws
a good deal of light on tfee subject of
prices. It shows h'ow prices are con
trolled and how lower prices are se
cured. Approximately $4,000,000 in cash
will be refunded to purchasers of
Chevrolet "'Four:Nlnety'( models pro
vided 60,000 of these cars are sold
between January 1, and August 1 of
The basis of this performance is the
same today as nineteen years ago the
sound Franklin principles of light
weight, flexibility and direct air cooling.
And the demand for the Franklin
has increased as motorists realize its
advantages. Here is the proof:
During the past three years nearly
as many Franklins were bought as dur
ing the previous sixteen. Bringing the
record up to date:
Dec, 1920 biggest Dec in Franklin history
Jul, 1921 orders exceeded production I5fa
Feb., 1921 month's orders totaled 1107 cars
Mar., 1921 100 normal output 1000 cars
Co.
this year. That Is a great sum of mon
ey even in these days. But it repre
sents actual savings In manufacturing
costs that the production of 60,000
cars will make possible.
The prices of these cars, like all
manufactured products, depends on
the number produced. The more cars
sold, the lower thecost of overhead
expense per car. Lower rates can
also .be secured onraw material..
If only one car were made the to
tal cost of plant maiAenonce and op
eration would be borne by that car.
Only a millionaire could afrord one.
But when thousands are made the
total cost of manufacture can be divid
ed by thousands. The more cars sold,
the lower the price of each. This is
the principle of quantity production in
a nutshell. In short the prices which
the purchasers have to pay depend on
the number they buy.
( The Chevrolet offer is therefore
sound and logical. The sale of 60,000
"Four-Nineties" will enable the Chet-
rolet Motor company to save $70 on
the manufacturing cost of each open
car and $100 on the cost of each
closed car. These amounts have been
very accurately figured out, and the
company proposes to pass these sav
ingB on to the purchasers of the 50,000
cars. They are giving purchasers the
full benefit' of their vast manufactur
ing facilities.
You
Would be
Surprised
If your home would
run out on the street
and hit someone, mak
ing you liable for a
law suit with .it's at
tendant claims and
consequent damage
payment
But your auto is liable
to do this any time and
I
it wouldn't surprise
anyone very much
because it happens
every day to the care
ful as well as the -reckless
drivers.

as necessary to your
