The latest plants to get un der way are Atlanta, Omaha, Jack sonville, Houston and Oklahoma City. Those now turning out cars include —beside:; those named and Fordson —Buffalo, Chester, Chicago, Dallas, Kai sas City. Kearny, Louisville, Memphis, Norfolk, St. Louis, San Francisco, Seattle, Somerville, Twin City. While produciicn is being pushed forward, Ford dealers have been giv en a complete course of instruction in the new models. A plan which in volved the training, in Ford plants, of dealers and mechanics, has been under way, and more than 11,000 men have bce n trained. This school for service men began with the training of superintendents and foremen cf the thirty-six branch plants of the company in the United States. Some time before the Model A Ford car was introduced, these men from the branch plants were be ing schooled in the Ford factories near Detroit in the manufacture and assembly of the new car. They re turned to the branches and immed iately began the training of men in dealer shops in their respective territories. The men came in relays, each group as large as the branch plant could handle efficiently. Each man has been put through the same course given the branch men at De troit, and upon its completion given a rigorous examination. Only those who make a passing grade return to the dealer’s shop.

This sale is be ing prompted by the Jersey breeders to encourage the dairy industry in The morning service at 11:00; Sunday School at 10:15; the evening service at 8:30.
