Price of Overland Cars and the Fair Pricing Debate
The article compares two pricing approaches used by car manufacturers. One allows price cutting via inducements to agents, while the other fixes the original price and forbids reductions. It argues the latter policy is more popular, noting higher production and consumer trust in fair pricing, resale value, and service quality as key concerns. It emphasizes Americans oppose paying more to gain less and value fair play and reliable dealer service.
