the enormous total OF ao.359 cars, this
including 43,S49 cars in March and
46,5io cars in April. This not only
insures the completion of the produce

all Ford purchasers within that period
but il means that the goal will un-
doubtedly be reached before the prom

hundred thousandth car will probably
leave the Ford assembly early in July,
and the production pace will continue
almost undated, so tremendous is tho

there Is some Of the best scenery TO be found
