and appreciation of the assistance such
owners would give the company in help
ing it to sell the 100000 cars. This
sharing of profits with retail purchasers
should be further understood as being a
part of the unit profit and having moth
ing whatever to do with the accumu-
lated profits of the Ford Company
business: in other words, the company
voluntarily shared the profit on the in
dividual car. because the buyer of such
car was expected to give assistance in
helping the Ford Motor Company
achieve a large number of sales.
In the present announcement the Ford
Company makes sthe following state
ment:
Our plan to profit share with retail
purchasers of Ford cars during 1914-15
has been most successful. We thor
oughly believe in it, but realizing the un-
certainty of conditions generally makes
it advisable to defer any announcement
of future profit sharing until later
date We are. however confident of our
inability to reduce the costs for several
months. and. therefore. can offer no
profit sharing for cars delivered during
August. September and October"

in operation last Sunday on the maca-
dam road at Oakton, between Vienna

ing made by motorists and others
against the innovation.
G. Washington Lewis, secretary of
the Alexandria Automobile Club. APP
peared Monday before the Fairfax
county board of supervisors and asked
that the tollGates be abolished. The
hoard declined to accede. it being ex-
planned that the revenue from tolls
was necessary for the upkeep of the
highway.
Alexandria county authorities, how
ever, threaten retaliation if the toll
gates are kept up. At this weeks
meeting Of the Alexandria county board
Of supervisors it was agreed TIC send
resolution to the Fairfax board de-
claring that II the tollgates were not
abolished Alexandria county would
establish gates on the Fairfax county
line and collect toll from every east

would be a serious matter for Fairfax.
