With only ScVenty-three days left
before the end Of the fiscal year Of
the Ford Motor company, only S9,567
cars have yet to be built by that COM
Iany in order that the purchasers of
its scheduled output Of 100000 cars
within the fiscal year will be given
the promised rebate Of $40 to $50 per
car bought. These seventy-three days
beginning May ., up to which time
ZlO, ,433 FOrds have been built and
sold represent the actual working
days left in May, June and July. 1t
means that the Ford company has to
build an average Of 1927 cars per
day For some time, however an ay-
erage Of 1000 cars per day has been
maintained very easily and has even
been surpassed. If only 1000 cars
are built daily during these seventy
three days 1t would mean a produc-
tiOu of l46,OO cars, which I'm addition
to the 2l0,433 cars already sold
. would make the total production for
the fiscal year $50, ,433 cars. Ford Of
ficials say that 1t is quite likely that
55O,OO0 cars will be the total an
ncunced as having been built by mid
night. July 81.
