Yes, it is true economy to purchase your imple ments of the Farmers Co-Operative Elevator company. We purchased an exceedingly good line of John Deere farming implements some time ago in. anticipation of this year's needs and can save you money on them. We carry a good line of horse drawn implements, which we are offering at a very narrow margin on ac count of the prevailing high prices. We can supply youn needs in plows, (walking and riding) harrows, discs, cultivators and listers. If you want power machinery we can also furnish it. as well as home power plants. Let us know your wants we'll do the rest. Farmers Co-Qperalice Elevator Company L. G. Todd, Manager UNION -:- -:- -:- NEBRASKA A Big Hold-Up Has Been Broken in Building Activities. Those who have not started building are planning to do so in the veary near future. Considering freight rates, building material is now on a pre-war basis. Remember, you are robbing yourself the longer you postpone those much needed buildings. ' How about a screened in porch or a new roof or some new floors? A good floor will cost less than a new rug and will last indefinitely. Get our prices and be convinced. We appreciate your patronage. Frans Bros'.

They show you just how many Ford cars and trucks have been built each month since Jan uary I; 1921, and how many have been sold to retail customers in the United States. JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH Produced "29,883 35,305 61,686 Retail ( 'llSl '!! !. 57,208 63.603 87.221 Total Production 1 27,074 Total Retail Sales 208,032 showing that actual sales for the first three months of 1921 exceeded production by 80,958 Ford cars and trucks! April requisitions already specify 107,719 additional cars and trucks and the estimated April output of the factory and assembly plants combined calls for only 90,000! These facts clearly show that the demand for Ford products is growing much faster than manufacturing facilities to produce and were it not for the deal ers' limited stocks, whichiare now being rapidly depleted, many more customers would have been compelled to wait for their cars. It will be only a matter of weeks, therefore, until a big surplus of orders will prevent anything like prompt deliveries. If you would be sure of having ycur Ford-car or truck when you want it, you should place your order now. Don't delay. Phone us or drop us a card.
