Announcing Important Changes in Peerless Prices The manufacture of Peerless cars has reached a stage of standardization and a volume of production which make it possible to announce an important change in Peerless prices. For eighteen months we have been steadily progressing toward this achievement— urged on by the conviction that the prices asked for the very finest cars it is possible to build, could be lowered. We have accomplished this reduction, and it is gratifying to us to add that the extra ordinary refinements in our manufacturing facilities assure a continuous improvement in the quality of the Peerless, one of the world’s finest eight'cylinder automobiles. 'X In considering the importance of these new prices, which range from *2690 to ♦4090, keep in mind the fact that no American motor car, regardless of price, excels the New Peerless Eight in perform' ance, dependability, beauty and comfort.
