BIG DEMAND FOR AUTOS.
Year Promises to be a Record Breaker
for Manufacturers.

This year promises to be a record
breaker for automobile manufacturers.
Although January is not supposed to
show the high water mark of pro-
duction in the automobile world, the
first month of 1914 shows the largest
output of any month in the entire
history of the Ford Motor company.
During the month of January, this
year, the Ford Motor company built
and shipped 23 1886 cars. The largest
months output previous to this was
June, 1913, when the number of cars
built and shipped reached the total of
22,049.
Taking into consideration the
greatly increased production of cars,
over last year, there will probably
be the usual shortage of cars to sup
ply the spring demand, and prospec-
tive owners are placing their orders
months N advance, SO as to insure
against disappointment when they
want their cars.
