received this week by J. d. Mansfield.

The price of the various touring car
models, however. was advanced from
$50 to SIS. according to the different
chassis.
On the recent visit of Messrs. A. c.
ST John and L. f. Titus to the big
Ford factory at Detroit. assurance
was given them that the production
of the trucks would be continued
throughout the war in as large a
quantity as conditions would permit.
Manager Mansfield says.
Mr.. Ford is reported to look upon
the trucks as of far greater necessity
than the other models, hence the de-
cision to continue their manufacture
in spite of prevailing conditions.
