a total of 175,(HO Ford can and

N'cw production merits have been *
set up ahnost daily face January, i
but there hasn’t been s time when .
manufacture even approximated
the demand. J
With production iwersaring in an
endeavor to meet the demand, h is
expected that the company will fin
ish the year with a total approxi
mating 1JOOUOOO Ford cars and
trades for domestic me alone.
This is the opinion expressed by
officials m view of the present pros
perous conditions, the
number of orders, and the outlook
lor ew better times prevailing
during the coming months.
In bringing up production, efforts
all along have been devoted to
buEding better. Ac a result many
improvement* have been made, and
though Fold cars and tracks are
today at the lowest price level in
the history of the company, they
ere of higher quality sod present a
greater value to the purchaser fan
ever before.
The demand for Ford trucks and
light delivery cars is particularly
optimistic, since it reflects the atti
tude of business men, as well as
fanners, toward expansion and
greater efficiency. Salas of Ford
tracks are more fan double those
of last year, which infantas fa ex
tent of the general prosperity.
For months Ford dealers have
had no stocks on hand, buyers ab
sorbing fa cars and tracks as rap
idly as fay are tuned out of as
