CONCERNING FORDS Circular Letter Mailed to All Fore Dealers in Regard to NewProduct. On account of recent newspapei articles and the many rumors circu lating over the country concerning i proposed new car to be manufactured by Mr. Henry Ford, we believe it ad visable to inform our dealers generally, in order that you may intelli gently and uniformly answer all in quiries. In the first place, a large majorit\ of the reports afloat are greatly distorted and exaggerated. * A new cai may be manufactured but as to whe^ . it will be manufactured we are nol in position to say, except that we dc know a new car could not possibly b? , designed, tested out, manufactured and marketed in quantities undei two or three years' time. There is nothing, however, indefinite, about the present Ford car. Then are over three million in daily use at the present time; and every one oJ our dealers, through their continuec enthusiastic efforts, can dispose ol our product as rapidly as manufactured. We intend to continue the production of the reliable Model 1 as aggressively as in the pkst, anc feel that we have the cooperation oi our entire sales organization in forcibly intpressing upon prospective buyers the ^exceptional high quality and dependability of the preseni Ford car, backed up by the entire strength of an organization already established. Our faetory and assembly plaijl production is [being pushed to the limit, with the thought in mind ol reaching our normal capacity oi three thousand cars per day as quick ly as possible, in or<fer that the de~ m'ands of prospective buyers mighl be met to the fullest possible exteni and that our dealers might increase ? \v i *' their profits proportionately. We are also taking important step; to expand and extend our business , abroad, especially in European countries including Russia. - .'With the above information, you I FARM FOR Si 87 ACRES?12 mil McCormick Co of W.

This is due. in a larj measure to the fact that Samuel .T = Sparks, proprietor and manager ; mm the show, travels with the. organiz tion and personally directs the bus ness.

There were five < ih'ese and the tricks they did we: repnarkable. Batons, b^lls, cane sticks, chairs, anything the' train would give them, they would" jugg on the tips of the pointed hoses, -co: torting their sleek, wet bodies with facility that caused one to marv ; that they were creatures of bone ai muscle.
