In the hirge Iorthern cities where statis ties on such matters have been more careflIly compiled, the nunnber of opi Im)I and cocaine users was found to be tremendous.

THE BOOSTER. STORE JI C BURNS & CO* An Interview With Mr. Ford The following interview was given by Mr. Ford to one of the* aggressive Ford agents, who re turned to his home and gave it to his territory in the following news paper advertisement: + This is the most important advertisement+ I ever caused to be published-.-road every word---then marvel! Oi a personal visit to Mr. Icnry Ford, I broached the subject of a possible August rst rebate. The Ford Company auniiced last year-as you will remember-that if their total sales reached 300,000 cars between August 1, 1914, and August 1, 1915, each purchas er during that period would receive back a refund of $40. oo to $6o.oo. "Mr. Ford," I suggested "Is there anything I can say to our people with regaid to the Ford Company's 300,000 car rebate plan?" "We shall sell the 300,000," was the quiet reply "and in 1 i months, a full month ahead of August ist!" "Then the refund is practically assured." "Yes-barring the totally unexpected. We are 50, + 000 to 7 5,O0o cars behind orders today. Factory and + + branches are sending out i,8oo daily." I then said to Mr. Ford: "If I could make a definite + refund statement we would increase our sales 500 cars." "You may say," was Mr. Ford's deliberate and signifi cant reply to this--"You may say that we shall pay back to each purchaser of a Ford car between August 1, 1914, and August 1, 1915, barring the unforeseen, the sum of $50. You may say that I authorized you to make this statement!" What can I add to the above? $15, ,O000.0. cash coming back to Ford owners! + And to prospective Ford owners up to + August 1, 1915, it actually means: Ford Touring Cars for $490---less the $50 re + bate! Ford Runab uts for $440m-less the $50 rebate! What is there eft for me to say?, Laurens.Motor Car Co. J. W. McKee, President.
