Henry Ford Boosts Minnesota Food
Productions; Supplies Tractors d.
rect to Farmers at Factory Prices.
1.-THE Schmelzel Tractor Co. of Saint
Paul, who are Minnesota state dis
tributors for the Fordson Tractor, ask
| me to announce that arrangements
are now completed to distribute trac-
| tors to the farmers of Minnesota at
factory prices.
II have volunteered and am donat-
ing my services: All middleman's
profits are entirely eliminated. The
farmer will receive these machines
at the factory price, which is $3.50
f. O. b. cars, Dearborn, Mich.
Mr.. Ford's motive is to increase the
production of food and l am instructed
to place his plans in the hands of the
proper officials in this locality who are
interested in increasing their produc-
tive acreage.
"Shipments will start Immediately
and l will receive applications from
farmers or others interested.
These applications will be hand
led promptly on account Of the late
ness of the season.

& Son tractor factory which has been
doing war service for other countries
and other states these many months,
is to be placed at the disposal of Min
nesota farmers at factory prices to the
end that they may bring food produc-
ton up to the maximum point this sea-
son, when food production must be
stimulated to the utmost in order to
win the war.
For the reason that the need of the
allies for food was greater than that
of the people in this country, Mr.. Ford
built tractors for England and France
before he built them for America. A
total of 5000 Ford tractors have been
built and sent to England, where they
are now doing service. Another of
1000 tractors has just been completed
for Canadian farmers.
Then Mr.. Ford allowed tractors to
go to the farmers of Michigan-then
to Ohio ten days ago.
Machines at Factory Price.
It will be noted that these machines
are to be sold to farmers at factory
price-$750. The farmers will pay the
freight. There will be no middleman's
profits. This is the Ford plan of dis
tributi0n.
To relieve the railroad burden in
war time it is necessary for these trac-
tors to, be shipped from Dearborn,
Mich, in carload lots, seven tractors
being loaded in each freight car.
