PRICES are coming down because
they must?not because costs have
lowered, but because business in this
country cannot resume its normal
volume and confidence until the ade?
quate buying power of the dollar has
been restored.
This is not palatable doctrine to manufac?
turers who, like ourselves, are actually facing
higher costs today than six months ago; but
it is the irresistible logic of the situation, and
only as it is generally faced and courageously
met will the restoration of the economic
equilibrium be hastened.
When Hare's Motors undertook the opera?
tion of the Companies under its control it
was fully expected ?as we took much pains
at the time to make the public aware?that
their increased production under the direction
of our able engineering staff would eventually
reduce costs regardless of the general price
trend, but it was not expected that our opera?
tions would by this time have reached that
stage and, as a matter of fact, they have not.
Both output and sales have been greater
during the last four months than at any other
equivalent period in the history of the Loco?
mobile and Mercer Companies, but improve?
ments in both products plus increasing costs
of labor and materials have more than kept
pace with increased production, and except
for the obvious duty of collaboration among
manufacturers to restore the morale of busi?
ness, even at considerable temporary sacrifice,
there would be no justification whatever for
a price reduction at this time.
Nevertheless we are convinced that such
procedure is today both sound and construc?
tive?that the greatest ultimate profit is to
be earned by taking a present loss- and it is
our earnest hope that before the period ex?
pires within which, under existing conditions,
we can afford to maintain the revised price
list, our business will have expanded enough
and our costs will have dropped enough to
warrant our making the new prices permanent.
If not we shall have no recourse but to
revise again?and this time upwards.
Because of the element of uncer?
tainty which obscures this point we
are for the present accepting orders
for delivery at the new scale until
January 1st only.

wholesalers to live up to their con- ]
tracts for sugar at 22Vi Cents a pound. |
The company would not be justified i
in URing its surplus of $23,000,000 to
offset losses of its customers, he said, j
Foster set. at "slightly over $11,000,- |
000" the operating profits made by the I
company so far this year. Ho esti- i
mated that if the company reduced
its price on the undelivered sugar it
would cause a loss of $10,000,000.
