The Ford Motor Company makes this reduction in the face of the fact that they have on hand immediate orders for one hundred forty six thousand sixty five ears and '
tractors The company will be suffering a temporary loss while using up the material he ught at high prices, but they are willing to make a'sacrif.ce in order to bring busi
ness back to a going condition as quickly as possible and to maintain the momentum ol the buying power of the country. b
Henry Ford says, "The war is over ond it is time war prices were over There is no s. mo or wisdom in trying to maintain an artificial standard of values. For the best
interests of all, it is time a real practical efiort was made to bring the business of the cc u Ury and the life of the country clown to regular pre-war standards."
FARMER: The reduction in price of the tractor will pay for necessary oil,, kerosene and help to put in two to three hundred acres of wheat. You -can
t afford to be without .t. These new pnees wdl make a shortage of cars , nd tractors on account of the great demand at this time, making de
liveries very uncertain. Place your order at once as orders will be filled as rt ived. B ue
