In the smoking compartment of 4
Pullman on the westbound train were
three men. Two of them, one the
superintendent Of the road and the
other an ex-railroad man. were en-.
gagged in conversation on the merits
Of railroaders in general, and con.
corning those who maintained their
positions through official relationship
In particular. The third, a we'll
groomed, portly gentleman, sat quiet
ly in the corner, pulled a cigar, and
listened.
"Railroading isn't a profession: it's
a science" the ex-railroad man was
protesting. I've always maintained
that these relationship jobs are a
detriment to the service, and it's been
my observation that, as a rule, the
incumbents never make good"
I've known some exceptions to
that rule; in fact, have one in mind
now" said the superintendent.

NOW IS THE TIME TO
PURCHASE A FORD

We have Just received a car load
of Ford cars, two Of which were de
|livered this afternoon, and others to
be delivered Just as soon as we can
get them set up. getting them as we
do, in car lots, knocked down.
While we have seven car loads or
dered, most of which are past due. as
spring is opening, and with it in.
creased demand all over the country,
| it is going to be difficult to get cars
as fast as we need them, so IT you
want one any time soon, better come
in and place your order and get in
lire for prompt delivery. Following
is a copy Of letter just received
from Ford Motor Co.
A Mornings Mail at the Ford
Each succeeding morning mail is
breaking records these days in the
sales department of the Ford Motor
Company. Amazing figures even for
the Ford, are becoming positively
incredible figures. For example,
here is a portion of one mornings
mail; Hood and Snyder of Jewel,
Iowa. ask that train load of Fords
be shipped as soon as possible; the
Repass Auto. Co. of Waterloo, Iowa,
want train load of Fords at once;
The Brownell Auto Co. Of Birming
ham, Ala, want train load Of
runabouts; The Herring Motor Co.
of Des Moines, Iowa, insist that
1000 Fords be shipped Immediately;
William Warnock & Co. of Sioux
City, Iowa. write for 1900 cor more
If we can have them" The Becker
Auto Co. Of Grand Rapids, Mich. ;,
asks for a modest 700 cars immedi .
ately."
With such mail as this day after
day, 1t is small wonder that the
100000 car production has become
a we'll established certainty. For
Ford cars, Ford parts, expert repair
ing of Ford cars, or any information
