International
Cuts Prices On
R-line Trucks
W. J. Stone of the Nocona Truck
and Tractor company, local In-
ternational motor truck dealer,
has just returned from a meeting
at the International Harvester com-
pany’s Dallas district offices at
which the company announced a
substantial reduction in the retail
prices of its new R-Line light,
medium and light-heavy duty truck
models.
The downward price adjust-
ments range from 3.5 per cent on
the R-180 series to 10.6 per cent
on the R-120 pickup model*. They
range fr*m a minimum of $87 to
a maximum4 dr $132 on former
list price*. Jho <ev>rall price re-
duction in these weight* catego-
ries amounts to about 6.7 per cent
In ■ statement accompanying
the price reduction announcement,
John L., McCaffrey,. the company’s
president, said:
“Since the end of World War II
we have centered an increasing
share of our engineering and pro-
duction efforts on the job of
building the kind of high per-
formance, high efficiency vehicles
which this market demands . We
have been increasing our share
of participation in the light
through light-heavy duty truck
markets in 1953, but we still want
more.
“In appraising our truck manu-
facturing operations for the re-
mainder of this year, and even
farther into the future, our con-
siderations led us to the natural
economic advantages for our cus-
tomers and our truck plant em-
ployes to be gained from possible
price reductions in those catego-
ries of trucks. We decided to take
the bold step of planning increas-
ed production at our Springfield,
Ohio, plant and other Harvester
plants, where these lighter trucks
and components are built.
■‘This will have the beneficial
effect of helping our customers
with a better price on a better
quality truck and our employes
with better employment opportun-
ities.”
McCaffrey pointed out that Har-
vester had long been the nation’s
number one producer of heavy
duty motor trucks. Harvester pre-
sently ranks third in the sale of
all categories of motor trucks in
the United States.
