These figure3---320817.--repre3ent the actual number of cars manufactured bTTs

This unusual fall and winter demand for Ford oars make it necessarry for us to con

livery to retail customers, rather than to permit any agent to stock cars in anticipa
tion of later spring sales. 1 -

against delay or disappointment in securing Ford cars. If, therefore, you are planning
to purchase a Ford car, we advise you to place your order and take delivery now.
