To all sub-dealers:
There are, it appears, a lot of
foolish runors ahoat regarding
reduction in price on Ford Model
IT. cars to take place on or
about January LIST. These ru-
mots were evidently started by in
terested persons hoping to delay
Ford sales. Deny them abso-
luteiy and emphatically. The
present price not to be reduced.
There is also another foolish ru-
NOR that they have sold out, their
cars are to be sold direct, ETC.,
etc No person can buy a Ford
car in your territory except
through you. Even now there is
d shortage at the factory of tor
pedo runaboufs and new orders
for torpedos cannot be filled until
after January lst. Watch your
sale on touring cars and keep
your orders ahead. You can re-
the shortage of last
spring and the one this spring is
goii1g to be more acute than that.
Get your ordere placed early in

The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known TO the
medical fraternity. Catarrh be-
ing a constitutional disease, re-
quires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dol
lars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.
