While we have seven car loads or- dered, most of which are past due, as spring is opening, and with it in. creased demand all over the country, it is going to be difficult to get cars as fast as we need them, so if you want one any time soon, better come in and place your order and get in line for prompt delivery. Following: is a copy of a letter just received ! from Ford Motor Co. A Morning’s Mail at the Ford ! Each succeeding morning mail is; breaking records these days in i.hel sales department of the Ford Motor Company. Amazing figures even for‘ the Ford, are becoming positively incredible figures. For example, | here is a portion of one morning's mail; Hood and Snyder of Jewel,| Towa, ask that a train load of Fords | be shipped as soon as possible; thel Repass Auto. Co. of Waterloo, Towa, | want a train load of Fords at once; i The Brownell Auto Co. of Birming i ham, Ala., want a train load of‘ runabouts; The Herring Motor Co.l of Des Moines, Iowa, insist thl!I 1,000 Fords be shipped immediately; William Warnock & Co. of Sioux! City, Towa, write for 1,500 “or more | it we can have them;” Tke Becker| Auto Co. of Grand Rapids, Mich., asks for a modest 700 cars immedi. ately.” H With such mail as this day after day, it is small wonder that the 300,000 car production has become a well established certainty.
