Vertising, with complete service to

THE Ford is an organization of all
young men. Not an executive head
has been added to a single department
of the business in more than six years,
during which period the output Of cars
and annual sales have nearly doubled
each year. All this great business
has been built up from an original
cash capital of only $4,000 and with
out ever borrowing a dollar or Issuing
any paper. We used banks only as
r"at"rits to lock up money and earn
interest, and this season in planning
production of 10000 cars we never
consulted with banker.
we are at present employing in our
factories and at our branch houses
lS,O6l men, and all day workers, not
bursting monthly about 100000 for
payrolls. Every day, except Satur-
day, is pay day, and our average runs
between $4,000 and $4,000 daily.
our factory, which now covers
practically 65 acres, is about as COM
plete and up-to- the minute as modern
architecture and latest machinery and
labor saving appliances can make it.
our going inventories of raw ma
terials, parts accessories etc, are run
hlng along now at an average Of about
Sho00.o0O, and, mind you, every car
that we build each day is shipped the

GOOD ROADS BOON
TO statesmen
EVERY MOVE FOR BETTER HIGH
WAYS. PLAYS INTO HANDS OF
MEN WHO SELL CARS.

Manufacturers and users of automo-
bile.s have been shouting for good
roads SO long that arguing for i'm
proved highways has become almost
second nature to them. On every
hand wherever a motorist is to be
found, one hears road talk, from the
tops of the Rocky mountains to the
gumbo wastes of Iowa But at that
few people realize that it is the auto
mobile salesman, next to the manufac-
turer, who has profted most by the
work already done to make our high
ways better.
For every mile Of improved road in
his territory, the motor car salesman
is saved certain number of gray
hairs. Every dollar appropriated by
government, state or county for road
Improvement is a real, tangible asset
for the salesman, in economy Of effort
and saving efficiency. For a good
road, in my opinion, is second only to
judicious advertising and quality con-
struction, as pulling power in selling
automobiles.
The motor car salesman in a terri
tory of unimproved highways has
double the work of his brother who is
favored with evidences Of prosperity in
the way of good road building. He
has not only to convince his customer
of the value of the car he is selling and
perhaps overcome the prejudice of the
prospective purchaser to motor cars
in general, but he must overcome the
silent but potent argument against
buying presented by poor highways.
The prospective purchaser may be un-
conscious of the effect poor roads has
on his mind, but it is there, neverthe-
less. Insensibly, the man who looks
at motor car is always being sub
jected to the argument Of bog holes
and mud, sand and dust that are. con-
fronting him.
On the other hand, the man who lives
in a territory in which the highways
have been improved, has a continual
argument given him for the automo-
bile. The stretches Of broad, hard,
well-kept road are selling persua-
sions which never fail to make their
impression whenever he sees them.
The mind of such prospective buyer
is favorably Influenced before he ever
sees the car he finally purchases. Just
as surely as attractive, effective adver-
tising creates a subconsciouS desire for
a motor car, SO does the good road pre-
sent the argument.

me- the good road is continually Whis-
pering to the man of average means,
