these lines viii point out to each

of Hamilton, OHIO, will be carried to

Already the fact that Henry Ford
has decided to locate one Of his trac

made note Of BY every newspaper in

1t is stated 500 men win be em-
ployed at the start at the new trac-

men is only start, for it must be
remembered that the farm tractor
is only in its infancy and it has great
future prospects and the beauty of it
is its prospects are going to develop
right here in Hamilton--it is going
to grow with US and we are going to

short time the plant will have grown
so that its operators will number from

that obtains in the big Detroit plants

Men To Be Employed At
Start.

Henry Ford has decided to locate
one of his farm tractor plants in Ham
ilton No finer compliment could be
paid to the workingmen of this city
than this decision. It means that
Henry Ford has confidence and faith
in the efficiency, in the ability, and
in the sterling worth of the working
man of Hamilton.
Despite all that has been said, es-
pecially by a certain newspaper in its
campaign of calumny against or
ganized labor, newspaper owned
and controlled by big corporations who
for reasons of their own would make
it appear that the workingmen Of
Hamilton are of anarchistic temper
ament and |. w. w tendencies, and
who have spread this word broadcast
throughout the country, despite all
this, Henry Ford has decided to come
to Hamilton. Henry Ford known the
world over for his visions of what
is fair to the workingman; Henry
Ford who employs thousands of men
and women in his large plants;
Henry Ford, whose opinion and de-
cisions carry great weight and infiu-
ence with other big employers, de-
cided to locate one of his plants in
this city and thereby placed his stamp
off approval on Haeilton's workmen.
There is one thing that stands out
foremost above all in Mr.. Ford's de-
cision and that is that it expresses
the opinion that one of Familton's
foremost leading and largest employ
ers has of Hamilton workingmen, an
