Seven of these features are obtainable only in PRESTEUNEI PRESTELINE WELCOMES PRICE REDUCTIONS ON ELECTRIC RANGES In the public interest we hope that all manufacturers of electric ranges will bring their prices down to meet today's Presteline values. It is gratifying to see that other appliance manufac turers are finally lining up with Presteline by absorb ing all possible increases in wages and material costs, and reducing prices to the public accordingly. From the very first threat of inflation, this company's pricing policy set an example for the entire appliance industry. For sixteen critical months everything mush roomed that entered into the cost of making and mar keting electric ranges. During that period Presteline was the only electric range amohg the leading brands whose price was not raised. The entire increased cost of doing business was absorbed by this company. This becomes even more noteworthy when it is con sidered that during the past two years Presteline has introduced more new features than any other electric range on the market. Such features as a choice of four tops to meet the requirements of every family. The Safety-Top which is acclaimed the most important fea ture in postwar electric range design.. Full 40-inch ranges with ovens larger and therefore more practical than any other nationally-advertised range. The larg est storage compartment of them all, equipped with new type rack for kitchen utensils. A broiler-roaster pan with three-position rack. Automatic cookery at four positions ? outlet, two ovens, deep^well pressure cooker or surface unit. No other electric range includes these extra features. Yet in May, 1946, Presteline was 6.6% less in cost to consumers than the average of the the leading electric ranges. In May 1937, Presteline was 13.1% lower. Even considering recent price cuts in the industry, Preste line is today on a par ? feature for feature ? with the average price of comparable ranges. So Presteline is the one electric range that does not have to reduce prices to be in line. We pledge Presteline distributors, the tetail trade and the public that if costs do not skyrocket further, the present unmatched Presteline values will continue. A runaway inflation can wreck the country's hopes for the future. Let's all do our share to prevent it.
