TO ALL FQ1M) DKALHHS ""S 'I I I I II mill IMMCWMMfft , x On account of recent newspaper articles and the many rumors .circulating over the country con cerning a proposed new car to be manufactured by Mr. Henry Ford, we believe it advisable to inform our dealers generally, in order that you may intelli gently and uniformly answer all inquiries. Ir thp first place, a large majority of the re pprts afloat are greatly distorted and exaggerated, A new car may be manufactured, but as to when it will bo manufactured we are not in a position to say, except that we do know a new car could not possibly be designed, tested out, manufactured and marketed in quantities under two or three years time. .
