Advance in Ford Prices on Three
 Models.

Where the Ford Motor company
 has weathered the storm for over F
 years, in fact, have the lowest prices
 on the American market, where oth-
 CTS have advanced prices or times
 in the same period, they are now forced to advance their prices on , their 3 closed models, namely, Sedan, Town Car and Coupelet. The price has been advanced $50 on the for mer and $55 on the latter.
 It is a surprise that the prices on the runabout and touring car have
 not been advanced as their prices are l only $345 and $360 respectively, and as the majority of the public of moderate means purchase these ? lower priced models it Is only an- | other evidence of MT. Ford's willing l ness to stand back of the working 1 class in general.
 Mr. Ford has often stated that 1t l was his aim in life to have every l working man and man of moderate 1 means own a Ford car, to receive the l many advantages and pleasure which ! is obtained from the use of an auto-
 mobile. Notwithstanding the advance
 of the closed cars, the Elmer Automo- l bile Go. are unable to deliver any of these models, as the demand is great
 CT than the supply, but they can fur-
 nish for immediate delivery touring cars, runabouts and delivery cars. l They do not guarantee the prices for
 any future orders, all prices being for l immediate delivery only.
 | They have, however, arranged with 1 local bank, an installment plan, l wherein a merchant or any prospec- 1 tive buyer can pay 1-2 down and $1O a week.-advt.
