This means, of couibe, that persons who have bought Dodge Urothers' (ar-i since the first of the year will be entitled to a rebate, the amount of which Is btill unknown to the public. The official form of the Dodge Brothers' announcement was as follow a : AniiOtincrnicnt on l eb. 1. "Dodge Urothers will announce on Feb. 1, 192L. a substantial reduction In prices of their cars, effective Jan. J. 1922." In view of the many other definitely announced reductions by various

i automobile manufacturers, it was ln-

jfctantly conceded in all quarters that ' Dodge Urothers had made a shrewd manoeuvre. Al officials of the com- ; puny, including Mr. Haynes, howj ever, refused point blank to make any comment in addition to what was formerly announced, j The dealers' meeting was on of j the lar?cpt and most pretentious j Katherlng-s of its kind on record. The J large ballroom of the Pennsylvania : hotel accommodated only about twoi thirds of the diners, while the others ' were placed in the foyer and adjaj cent rooms. At the conclusion of 'the luncheon tables were withdrawn to make room for all guests, wherei upon another big surprise, the first i of the day, was revealed. It was a I play, "Present Company Excepted." I w ritten by Montague Glass especially ;for this occasion, and produced by an jall-sU.r rn9t, including such prominent Hroadway celebreties a Barney

Bernard, Julius Tannen, Edwin Mordant and Jennie Moscowdtz. The play portrayed Abe Potash and Morris Perlmutter, for the creation of which Mr. Glass has long been famous, as Dodge I'.rothers, dealers at Cyprus, L. I. Mr. Bernard played Abe and Mr. Tannen was Morris. Tho production of such a play, which was of standard theatrical length, equipment, etc., was not only unprecedented as a private entertainment, but was a decided novelty to the actors. Ordinarily when they open a new production they do not expect things to go smoothly the first

or yen the first week. Shows

Political Situation is Blamed for Lack of Sound Trade Relation. PARIS. Jan. 14. Kngland hasbought .six million pounds sterling worth of Russian products through the So-vlet Co-operative society sine the beginning of 1921. During Un same period, Germany has purchased Pix billion marks' worth through the Commlsariat of Foreign Trade. Thl has been made known in Parifi by Ivan Pkobelet'f, f.x-min-ister of the Russian provisory government, now agent In Prance for the Soviet Co-operative society. As regards business with Frar.ee, Skobeleff said very little has been done mostly on account of the lack of necessary technical conditions. The largest part of the dealings wadone indirectly, either in countries bordering Russia, or in Scandinavia, or even through foreign firms. However, recently a fairly important bargain was concluded for the direct pale of automobile accessories, especially tires. Other orders have been received and are being attended to. "Kunsia's foreign trade, pointed out Skobeleff. has been remarkably dovelo-ping in the pat months, thanks chiefly to the new economic policy and since some commercial accords were concluded by the Soviets. Of course, Russia began by importing it is normal for a ruined industrial organization which must before everything get means of production from the outride, including foodstuff, but exportation has also started. The total exports to England for the first 11 months of thb year through the co-operative, have reached 1,130,000 pounds, sterling, whereof 84.000 worth of timber. 122. 000 of naptha products, iOi'.oni) pf manganese mineral, 26.000 of copper and 9.000 worth of furs. "One may expect, quite shortly,

large increase in the exportation J j the following: Timber, naptha product, manganese minerals from

Nikopol, amlanth, graphite, furs, linen and various others "If the political situation become. more favorable, the exchange.5 be. twe-en the big countries and Russia will become very active, especially with France where there ar so many kinds of good necessary tc Russia that cannot be found elsewhere."

The universal popularity of Studebaker Cars io attested by the fact that the corporation enjoyed the biggest business in its history in the year of 1 92 1 . The sales of Studebaker Cars were 29 greater than in I 920, notwithstanding the fact that the total number of cars sold of all other makes (except Ford) was 40 less than in 1920. Stated otherwise, Studebaker s ratio of sales was 1 29 and the total of other makes 60, as compared with 1 920. The number of Studebaker Cars sold in the year of 1 92 1 in both Greater New York and in the Metropolitan District exceeded the sales of any other make except Ford. Studebaker is the world's largest producer of sixcylinder cars. The only possible explanation of the popularity of Studebaker Cars lies in their quality, durability and dependable performance in users' hands. Proof that the cars stand up in service with minimum repairs is evidenced by the fact that our sales of Repair Part in 1 92 1 were 12 less than they were in 1919, notwithstanding that 1 1 8,000 new cars were sold and put in operation in 1 920 and 1 92 1 . Based on the total estimated number of Studebaker Cars in operation in 1921, we sold $16.00 worth of parts per car for repairs from all causes, including accidenb3. The materials and workmanship in Studebaker Cars measure up to the highest standards known to the automobile industry. Substantially better intrinsic values cannot be obtained at any price. The theory that high prices necessarily mean fine cars is fallacious, simply because prices are not based upon intrinsic values but upon production costs of individual makers, which vary widely according to their ability and manufacturing facilities. Obviously, high costs of production, inevitably arising from incompetence or inadequate manufacturing facilities, mean not only high prices but actually inferior cars. With $70,000,000 of actual net assets including $36,000,000 of plant facilities, Studebaker stands unsurpassed in ability and resources to manufacture economically and give the greatest intrinsic value possible for a given price.
