THE UNIVERSAL CAR Good Reasons 1. The War period, during which the production of = - / automobiles was curtailed, has caused a shortage of cars which the 1919 output has failed to supply. 2. During the entire season of 191‘9"‘ Ford cars pur- chasers waited one to four months for their cars. 3. On November 1st, 1919, the Ford Motor Company had 212,204 unfilled car orders on hand. - 4. The present demand for Ford cars in Southern states, which must be supplied, prevents Northwest dealers from storing cars for Spring delivery. That’s why we are mighty par- ticular to sell only good, reliable - merchandise; and also why we make our prices as low as we possibly can to make your satisfaction complete. Kuppenheimer & Clothes g are a great aid to us in this satis- ‘ ‘ faction-giving poliey. L Delayed action in purchasing your Ford car will mean DISAPPOINTMENT. The followmg Ford dealers believe the public should be informed of the conditions as they have prevailed during the past yeal, a8 they now are and as we have every reason to believe, will be this coming season.
