ant to me to know and feel that my
fellow citizens think so kindly Of me,

not solicited the support and backing
OF anybody. In my years OF residence
in Washington l have made many
good friends in Congress, but / have
not approached a single Senator or
Congressman about the Commission
ership, and have not permitted any
body else to do so. Having no desire
to be Commissioner, l will not ask
anybody to annoy the President in
my behalf.
Il would like to see a high class
man made Commissioner to fill the
vacancy, because the development OF

FORD COMPANY HAS
 RIGID SELLING PLAN

owing to the heavy demand for Ford cars the factory has been forced to a strict distribution plan" said Ed Rudolph, local distributor, yesterday:
 "Compeled to a strict enforcement of the old rule of first come first served. the Ford Motor company is holding it's every agent in the United States to a rigid schedule of rotation distribution. The first six months of the current Ford year ended February 1st with the enormous total of over 520.000 cars built and sold at retail, with not an unsold car in stock at any agency but with orders ahead to cover Ill possible deliveries for from thirty
 o sixty days to come.
 For the first time in the history If motor car manufacture the slow months of the year, midwinter, when ocal agents stock up for spring de- liveries have nor materialized Pros pective buyers, who have established rule of waiting until spring or early summer to place orders and have been used to immediate deliv- cry when the cars are wanted for the summer vacation trips. are bound to be sadly disappointed this year un- less they place their orders now No agent of the company is allowed to deliver d car to any one in advance of d previous order.
 "Co-operating with the home plant at Detroit each and every branch is grappling with the biggest motor dis tribution problem that has yet arisen in this age of mechanical and scientific miracles Factory enlargement and  facility in the world for securing ma terials have so far been inadequate to supply the demand for Ford cars
 The company has recently issued circular information to all agents. en- deavorng to make plain to them the exact condition of the retail market. explaining that no efforts are being spared to comply with the demands of the public and giving fair warning to prospective buyers in order that they may protect themselves against dis appointment in securing the cars needed little later Every one who is planning to purchase q Ford car is advised to place his order now.
 Tn connection with this distrbu- ton plan. Mir Ford's policy of fair ness to all concerned has shown itself in complete accord with the charac- teriztics of the man No section of the country has been overlooked in prefer ence to another. Every car manufac- tured by the company could have been disposed of with ease in the east and middle west without marketing q sin gle car west of the Rocky mountains. but expense and diligent study of the whole situation has not been allowed to stand in the way of an even dis tribution in proportion to demand.
