Uncle Sam is one of the big buyers
Of the new Ford cars But Uncle sam
is rather finicky about the finish of
the cars There are 2S5 Fords in an

the cars are now being delivered here.
Instead of using the standard Ford
bodies, the army gets the stock chassis
and a specially constructed body is be-
ing fitted. Five Fords will be at
tached TO each machine gun company
on the border and four of these will be
fitted with the special bodies for car
rying machine guns. The fifth Ford
with each company will be equipped
as a truck and will carry the ammu-
milton for the machine guns and also
serve as a service car for the other
cars and will carry the gasoline and
oils
J. W. Kirkpatrick was rather wor-
ried man when the government failed
to order a few million Fords a couple
of months ago. but now he is wearing
the happy smile and telling all who
will listen that he knew they'd have
to come to it."
