Ford Cut Prices Stir City Reaction to Ford Return to Pre War
The official Ford price return to pre war levels sparked strong reaction in the city yesterday. Auto owners and the public welcomed the price drop, viewed as a potentially broad sign of price relief across business. A Frederick Motor Company representative reported advance sales of several cars now to be delivered at pre war or new lower prices. The reduction, effective yesterday, created buzz among dealers for many manufacturers, with speculation on further cuts to follow. Additionally Grayson H Mercer sold John S Mason’s 218 acre Monrovia farm including 40 acres meadow land to Gilmore R. Grautt, a Mason family property for over six decades, with possession set for April 1.
