No Secret Diplomacy Here
There will be a greater shortage of cars tliix year t'u.m last. We can give

Spring and Summer. WTiyt Loss climatically favored sections of this great
country of ours are snow bound during December and January and the Ford
Motor Co. will not stock cars in one section of the country if they can be used
in any other. We can get cars now while these territories arc frozen up and
snowed in. Let's get them. Give us your order now and have yours when
you need it. You can use it every day in our glorious Nebraska.
By the way, have you noticed how many cars began the New Year with
an increase in price. A word to the wise is sufficient.
You know the price. You fan get delivery. Ti e spring hoi -la nothing
but uncertainty as to both.
