Rickenbacker automobiles and especially

confronted with a problem it is difficult to
SOlve. , . j j -;. ; ; , ; . "; J if
It is the exact reverse of the problem of which
most automobile dealers complain.
In most cases it is difficult to make buyers
believe the prices are low enough.
- . t
Our task is to eradicate from the mind of the
average buyer, the pre-conceived impression
that Rickenbacker prices are much higher
than they actually are. ! i ;
"Why U that all a Rickenbacker Verticals
costs? I had an idea you couldn't look at a
car of that make for less than $5,000."
That U a remark we hear every day.i,
And

ad yet since the advent of the

great price reductions, you can possess a
Vertical- Phaeton for $1,935, f.o-b. factory.
A beautiful 4-door Brougham for $1,S?5, or
a Sedan for $2,135.
It is a compliment to this product that every
body considers a Rickenbacker Vertical-S

In quality it does belong there.
In performance it will make many a higher
priced car "look like a fool," as one owner
expressed it.
But we feel that if all buyers knew that its
new price is as low as that of ordinary cars
well no one would think of lookmi at
any other.
