delaying the purchase of a Pierce Arrow truck in the hope of a better price is meantime losing all the earning or economies of the vehicle without eventual compensating advantage to himself Present Pierce Arrow prices are based on material and labor costs plus a moderate profit There can be no change in price till these factors are reduced Material for cars and trucks must be ordered months in

announce that until material how in production or oh order5 has been manufactured and sold present prices on cars and trucks will stand Our expectation is that we will have disposed bf such product by October 1st 1919 and we will maintain our prices until that time The subsequent course to be followedi will bq dictated by conditions obtaining then and will be announced at that time Quality must be
