1909:
What a year! Through the last two years we noticed competition brought better cars on the market. This was partly harmful as some of our designs are simply old and therefor lose interest/quality (Ingame: score) over time and we can't really steer against that with the still very limited number of production lines.
For the pension we have $15.715.00 in the bank account at January 1909. It started to generate profit. Finally!
In 1911 we want to expand overseas, mostly to Europe. This includes a completely new factory out of Paris. Paris is geographically ok in Western/Mid Europe and it offers a quality workforce. The five star factory (31 lines, ~5.980 cars) will costs us around $16.000.000 and it will be ready mid 1911.
To keep up with North American production, in February 1909 we gave the order to expand the New York City factory to the same level (31 lines, ~6.014 cars). The costs are around $14.000.000 but it will take until mid 1912 until completion. Same is for our new Philadelphia factory.

We introduced the King Cars Landaulet and the King Cars Limousine. Market is very small for those cars. We do sell around 10 each per month, meaning one month production (120) lasts a year.
Mid 1909 we increased world wide marketing budget from $180.000 to $300.000.
Our transition from small manufacturer with high prices a mass manufacturer is complete. We'll see how this will turn out.
