bureaus figures to be correct, 1t is little unfair to base the comparison on the pop ulation calculated for July and Ford reg istrations in April, as 1t gives the stork a three months start over Henry Ford. However, these dates are the closest 1t is possible to get at this time It is safe to say that the March record of 2s,712 Fords which passed out of the factory doors during the month will be continued in which case our figures are cheating the Detroit manufacturer 10 the extent of S6, 136 cars.
 Nevertheless, based on these two dates Nebraska has one Ford for every 100 people in the state: Iowa, which is second in the total number of Fords owned, also Is second in the per capita Fordage, with one for every 10s people; North Dakota shows up with one Ford for every 150 people in the state; California has Ford for every 1S4 people; Michigan. it's home is at the boiling point with one Ford for every PIP people; in Ohio every two hun dred and eightieth person owns a Ford, and in Illinois every vhree hundred and sixtieth. In New York you have to count 470 people before you come to Ford own CT, and In Alabama it takes 2,00O people to make Ford family.
 When 1t is considered that there is an average of five people in each family the ratio shows up even better, For in- stance. in Nebraska every twentieth farmhouse would have q Ford in front of it if 1t were not for the fact that the latter probably is on the road taking the butter and eggs to town. As matter of fact in the agricultural states fewer than 20 farmhouses would be passed before one Of the little cars were found, but the average is brought down by the less comfortably situated city poulation.

The com pany prepared a standard window dis play. under the direction of a window dresser of national reputation. and deal CTS al lover the country are cooperating by installing Goodyear Windows in their stores, in preparation for the win dow week., which Is to be the climax of the campaign.
 " Goodyear Window Week will be open- ed by extensive advertising, containing a picture of the Standard Goodyear window and an outline of the campaign, which will go to millions of readers all over the country and direct attention to the fact that Goodyear windows mark the stores Where Goodyear tires may be obtained
 The window displays are a combina- ton of Goodyear tires and accessories and standard decorations. Many thou sands of dealers are already in line, and carloads of display material are being distributed all over the country to fill their orders. The campaign is regarded as the most extensive and most success ful ever undertaken by a tire company and the results in sales al ready obtained by dealers who exhibit Goodyear tires in their windows assure that the benefit to all concerned will not be merely tempo rary, but will be developed into much greater appreciation and use of the value Of display windows in the tire business for the years to come"
