?As Much as $50 Some Models
Effective Immediately
A Statement by Henry Ford II
99
"Although more than one million of our customers
are waiting foe delivery of their cars at present
prices, we are immediately reducing the price of
every Ford car some models as much as $50.
"This is our 'down payment' toward a continued
high level of production and employment in the
months ahead. We believe that the 'shock treat
ment' of prompt action is needed to halt the insane
spiral of mounting costs and rising prices and to
restore a sound base for the hopeful period of
postwar production we are now entering.
"Let me review briefly the considerations which
have led us to take this important step.
"The Ford Motor Company is in the mass pro
duction business. Mass production depends upon
large markets. It will continue to succeed only if
it can produce more and more at lower and lower
cost so that more and more people can buy. Large
markets begin to disappear when prices rise.
"The un-American spiral of mounting costs and
rising prices has hurt everybody some groups
more than others. Many have not benefited from
postwar wage increases, but have had to share the
burden of resulting higher prices. Already, millions
of American families are unable to buy the things
which, in normal times, make up their standard
of living. In the short view, we can see inflation.
In the long view, there is danger of depression.
"The period since V-J Day has been an unhappy
and costly period of reconversion to peacetime
production. Ford Motor Company has lost mil
lions of dollars since V-J Day, even after all tax
adjustments.
"But the crisis of this wild aftermath of war
seems to have been passed. Our own production.
though still limited by material shortages, Is now
steadier. Productivity of our employes, which hit
a new low during the period, seems to have started
its return to normal. Ford Motor Company mada
a modest profit for the last three months of 1946,
and we intend to continue to operate in the black.
" "The American economy now stands at a turn
ing point. Mounting costs and rising prices have
warranted caution and hesitancy. There is even
general fear that this dangerous, un-American
cycle cannot be corrected without an economic
recession. We think this fear can be dispelled by
common sense and action. And among free men
that becomes an individual responsibility.
"The Ford Motor Company therefore proposes
to accept its losses since V-J Day as an item of the
cost of a great and victorious war. We are closing
our books on that phase of our production history.
We have decided that now is the time for us to
make an investment in the future.
'Because they must build up depleted cash re
serves or because they are still losing money, many
businesses may not be able to follow suit. But we
hope that our suppliers, our employes, and our
other economic partners will back, each to his own
ability, our attempt to return to the economic pat
tern which has helped to make America great
the principle that higher wages and a higher
standard of living for all depend upon lower costs
and lower prices through increasingly efficient
large-scale production.
"We hope, as we move forward, that we will be
able to reduce prices further, andthat we will not
be forced to raise them again to compensate for
cost increases."
PRESIDENT. FORD MOTOR COMPANY
