INTERESTING FACTS
106,327 Ford Cars and
Trucks Retailed in
November
Approximately the same number scheduled
for delivery this month
I
What Does This Mean?
This volume of deliveries to actual owners is entirely un
precedented for this time of the year_
It has taxed the manufacturing ability of the Ford plants
working at full capacity—
't indicates a volume of business during the rapidly ap
proaching months of "heavy demand*; which will be far
fceyond the maximum production schedule which the
Ford Motor Company has set—
And that means a Ford shortage even more acute than the
one which existed last Spring and Summer.
I>eajers stocks all over the country are loW—there are no
reserves to draw upon to meet the demands for delivery—
There is no way in which dealer reserves'can be built up,
as deliveries have been made to customers as fast as Cars
could be manufactured since last April. **
TTie only way you can protect your desire to obtain
prompt delivery of a Ford even at this time is to place your
order immediately.
This emphasises more strongly than any
thing we could possibly say tks ntrssskjr of
your making prompt arrangements with a
Ford Dealer for the listing of your otddr, par
ticularly if you are contemplating the pur
chase of a Ford Car or Truck fdr use this
Sptng or Summer.
We believe you are entitled to know these facts aa they
actually exist.
