Jordan cars were noted more for attractive styling than for advanced engineering, although they did bring their share of innovations to the marketplace. Not surprisingly, the company’s advertising was often more original than the cars themselves. Said Jordan, “Cars are too dull and drab.” He reasoned that since people dressed smartly, they were willing to drive “smart looking cars” as well.” [wikipedia] Ken Prag Collection Est. $100-200 HWAC# 91665 236 May 2019

The stock highlights this when it says shares are $5 each when Pandolfo was really charging $10, funneling money away from the capital fund. Pandolfo spent a ton of money advertising the company, while presenting preassembled cars and not producing any of their own. The factory in St. Cloud was completed in 1919. They produced the Pan Model A Touring Car, not preassembled, and the 1919 Pan Tourist Sleeper. However, eventually Pandolfo’s mistakes caught up to him. The Associated Advertising Club of Minneapolis, a forerunner of the Better Business Bureau, lodged a complaint with the State Securities Commission claiming the company was spending more on promotion than its Minnesota charter permitted. By 1922, Pandolfo was in jail and the company was in receivership. Ken Prag Collection Est. $120-250 HWAC# 103440 Bid online at FHWAC.com or call 775-851-1859 237
