Between 23, 1948, the underwriter reported to the company the receipt of orders totaling $10,440,000, which orders, had they been collected in full, would have more than met the minimum requirements, and the underwriter commenced soliciting payments to be placed in an escrow account. However, by, the end of September, 1948, 'payments received had been so relatively small that the company and the underwriter agreed that the underwriting agreement should be terminated and the payments received returned to the senders. This was done, the offering was withdrawn on Oct, 20, 1948, and the securities withdrawn from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 on Jan. 3, 1949. This previous offering of securities was intended to permit the com¬ pany to launch a production program of at least 100,000 cars per year for sale in the $l,000-price class, the' proceeds of the offering to be used primarily for the tooling and equipment necessary for such a program.
