INTEREST IN FORD PLAN
Detroit Company Explains
Fully It's Gut in Prices.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 15.-That the
Ford Motor Company's announcement
Of its reduction in prices coupled with
q profit sharing plan for the prospee-
tive benefit of the retail buyers has
lifted the people "off their feet is in
dicated by the huge volume Of CORE
spondence that has overwhelmed the
Detroit office.
While the Ford company's announce
ment of its new profit sharing plan
was clearly stated, it IS evident that
many wish TO be assured on two or
three points The officials, therefore,
ind il necessary TO reiterate that the
profit sharing plan for the benefit OF
the new owners has nothing 20 do with
the immediate reduction IN price. SIX
" dollars is cut off the price Of every
car at once, and this reduction is not
contingent on any production hgure.
The profit sharing plan, by when
each buyer who purchases Ford be
tween August ]. 1914, and August l.
1915, is to receive from $40 TO sou as
his share Of the seasons prohts, is an
entirely separate and distinct PROPOSE
ton. and is contingent on the sale and
delivery at retail of 100000 new Ford
cars between the dates named.
Three hundred thousand cars IS a
stunning production. and some people
who are not fully informed concerning
the huge character Of Ford business
fear the figure may be in excess of the
possibilities. II is necessary to recall
IN. this connection now the Ford out
put has grown from year to year IN
order to understand that 100000 cars
ghi be only a normal growth.
II must be remembered that from
August !. 1912, 20 August l, 1914, the
Ford company manufactured 22l ,ose
cars. and the season before that some
thing like $4,000. With every new
Ford buyer interested in the company's
pro6ts as soon as he buys, it is con-
soryative estimate to base the new
profit sharing plan on production Of
300. 900 cars.
II was the purpose Of the company
when it was organized 10 build car
for the people in the largest and
broadest meaning of that phrase. II
was the avowed policy Of the company
TO govern price according TO produe-
ton, based on market prices TO buy
and build. Ford prices have been
steadily reduced as business grew.

AUTO MAN IN WAR ZONE
Empire Officials Trying to Lo-

everything in their power 20 secure
information regarding Aaron VALID

out Oh the Continent.
Mr.. Waldheim and party sailed from
New York late in June. The first word
of what had been looked forward TO as
a most enjoyable vacation was received
from Carlsbad, Austria, and they
are believed to have been there at the
outbreak of hostilities. Last week
message was received stating that they
had succeeded in reaching Antwerp, but
ell representatives of the Empire Com
