Epoch-Making Price
Out In U.S.
(By Sidney Gampell, Reuters Financial Editor.)
London, Jan. 16. Henry Ford's $15 price cut on current Ford models may be epoch-making-particularly for farm prices, and other primary products, including metals! It means that the price cutting which has been prevalent in soft-goods since October and particularly since Christmas has now ex-- tended to durable consumer goods, though the automobile industry has been los-" ing money and demand still far exceeds sup- ply.
