To Stockholdbfs or thx
Packard Motor Car Company: ,
Newspapers are carrying the story of a radical redpetkm wbidi the Cosnpaay
announced in the prices of all enclosed models of the Packard Six cat.
The prices of the Eight models are not reduced.
The announced reductions vary from $640 for the Six coupe to $S40 for the
passenger Six sedan. .. ""''.': .
Following are the new prices at Detroit: , L ;5
5-pass. Sedan $2585 7-paas. Sedan lUmonaine t388S
sHn 2785 4-paas. Coupe , 3585 -5-pass.
Sedan Limousine , .. 278S 5-pass. Coupe 2685
Thisprice revision makes the Packard Six in its various models easOy the outstanding
automobile value of the year. This is particularly true because at the new prices the cars
are exactly as they were; there is no change in design, material or workmanship.
While price reductions are nothing new to the automobile industry, no company baflding
a high-grade car and appealing to an yrc"t" clientele has ever before made so far-reaching ,
a price revision in its product.
, As a stockholder in the Company yon wSl naturally ask why this drastic move, and can
the Company market its high-grade cars profitably at so low a price?
The answer is we are prepared to do it. . . .
The Six has been on the market four -years, during which it has been so far refined and
perfected that we believe the appearance and fundamentals of the car will be unchanged
for a considerable time: that is to say, the car has been standardized. And while doubtless
we shall from time to time make minor and detail improvements, we do not anticipate any
necessity for substantial structural changes for a long time to come. We are, therefore, ,
in ideal position to devote our attention and ouT facilities to turning this perfected car out
in quantities at the lowest price consistent with Packard quality. And the price revisions
are a step in our program to this end; (
Production will be conservatively expanded "tofake care of the inereaaed sales.
The Company has never been stronger financially, or better prepared, fax organisation
and facilities, for a constructive move such as this.
We enclose copy of our report for the" last quaster endn November 30th last. We

CALIFORNIA. COOKING
OF ITS DRUDGERY
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14
More than 10,000 farmers' wives
In California cook by electricity.
according to figures comoiled bv
the largest power distributing
company,, m the. state. .
In the interior : valleys, where
wood, coal or soil is not readily
available,' cooking is done to a
large extent by electricity.-
The statistic indicate that there
are in the state 167,304 rural light
and power consumers, and they
are served by .16,513 miles redis
tribution lines. Practically all
the farms are lighted electrically.
Oddly enough, in forming his
cabinet Mr. Collidge makes no ef
fort to hire cheaper men.
Many of the neighbors would be
poor if they didn't owe so much.
Be careful about what you try
to do; you might, succeed.
