A STAGGERING OUTPUT.
Ford Cars Turned Out Like Wheat
from a Threshing Machine.


During the month of October me
Ford Motor Company made $3.50
cars. In the last six months total OF
46e,135 machines have been turned
out. or at the rate of 938,27o per
annum. The estimated production for
the Ii year was placed at 100000, about
5000 per day, but there is small doubt
that unless war conditions prevent
more than one million Ford cars will
be made within the Ford fiscal year,
August /, 1917, to August /, 1919.
Staggering as are these figures, this
tremendous triumph OF manutactur-
ing possibilities, it is equally astonish-
inc to know that demand is ever
ahead Of production, and that there
has not been day, since August |
last, that there has not been orders on
hand for more than 100000 cars for
immediate delivery.
