| -3- While on this point, it might be as well to review the position of J-III, as to whether it is going to be really much less expensive to manufacture, because if it is not I very much doubt whether it is worth wasting any more time and money on. The 20/25 h.p. to-day is making a great name for itself and with the extra horse-power they have found for the fast driver I do not see where we are going to be better off with a 28 h.p. car to fill that market. More tax; change-overs; new expense of jigs and tools, and general upset for what reason? None, so far as I can see, unless it is reduced cost of production. (Sgd.) C. | ||
