Ford People Report
Sale of Over 200,000
Cars in Nine Months
Three year ago If you had told anyone
that a ainglo automobile company would
build more than 100,000 automobiles In a
year that person would have thougt that
probably you were harmless, but ought
not to bo allowed to run at large as y
might suddenly become violent. But In
nine months the Ford Motor company has
done better than reach the !00,OOQ mark.
It has built and sold 208.194 cars from Oc
tober L 1818, up to July 1, 1914.
In other words, an average of better
than B.B00 FoJ fiave been built and old
every month for the first nine months of
the company fiscal year.
Last year's production of Ford was
about 186,000 cars. This mark was passed
by this year's production In th middle
of May.
It is almost impossible to conceive of
200,000 automobile Only by comparison
may on really grasp what this huge fig
ure means. If all the Fords built snd
sold so far this year were placed in line
s alf mile apart they would reach around
b world four tlmea If the entire popu
lation of the cities of Detroit and Balti
more wanted to hold a Joint picnic the
Fords built thla year could easily take all
the people to the plcnlo ground In one
trip. Or thla year's Ford could carry
three armies the size of the American
army engaged In tho Spanish-American
war. Or they could carry at one trip
nearly half of all the men that fought in
the civil war.
Or, getting at It from an other angle,
the total horsepower of th motor In
these Fords, figuring twenty horse-power
to a motor. 1 more than two-thirds the
horse-power of all the developed water
power in the United States. It I sixty
times greater than th power plants of
the Imperator, the Lusltanla or the Mau
retanla, and twenty times greater than
the power developed by the dam on the
Mississippi at Keokuk, la.
It Is said that the tendency nowadays
Is to take the burden off the man and
put It on the machine. A man must be
a pretty good athlete to be capable of
exerting fifteen horse-power, If you can
translate horse-power Into man-power.
But figuring on this basis the total horse
power of the cars built and sold by ths
Ford Motor company this year la alx
tlmea greater than the combined power
of all the men engaged in th civil war.
"Streamline bodies and crowned fenders
were not used on automobiles until within
the last year or so for the simple reason
that nobody kuew how to make them,"

for the Hayrtes,
"The most logical material from which
to build bodies Is sheet steel, but the dif

curves and general contour. The first
sheet steel bodies were laboriously
worked up and shaped by hand with the
aid of small power hammers and foot
presses. The metal would be thin at one

factory, "In keeping with the hlatory of the au
tomobile Industry Improvements have
come rapidly, and now the bodies are
formed In gigantic presses. Any desired
curve or streamline effect may be ob
tained by merely altering the shape of
the dies of the press. The streamline
body of the new Haynes Light Bx car
represents the latest achievement of the
body makers. The long, sweeping lines
are pressed Into tho steel under great
pressure, and there Is no hammering out
at any point in order to develop the
curves. Consequently, the steel Is of uni
form thickness and strength at all points.
All Joints are electrically welded at the
doors, so thnt tho finished body Is actu
ally composed of a single ploce of sheet
steel without seams. A light construction
Is obtained In combination with the de
sired rigidity.
European Strife
Claims Maxwell's
Foreign Salesmen
Borne little anxiety Is felt st the Detroit
orftce of the Maxwell Motor company con
cerning the whereabouts of several of Its
representatives.
Mr. Arnold Foorster, Maxwell represen
tative In Austria, and captain of a cavalry
troop in the Austrian army, has undoubt
edly Joined his troop, as no communica
tion ha been received from him In sev
eral days. Mr. Foerater is thoroughly
trained In army tactics, and has won
several medal of honor in the service of
his country.
Another foreigner, whose patriotism has
called him to his country aid, la a Rus
sian, Count Krysanowsky, one of the
ablest men In the Maxwell's foreign field.
Count Krysanowsky was last heard from
In Paris, on hla way to Brussels. He also
holda a captaincy In the army of his
fatherland, and without doubt has re
turned to Russia.
