TIE COMMON AVERAGE.
No s n~cr evidence of the i'm
nortant fact that the Ford Motor car
has become vcr.table part of the
lie CT the people, could be asked for
than is giVea in the registration re-
cords of the various states which COM
prise our country.
For instance, in the month of .Janu-
airy there We're II ,450 cars of all
makes registered in the site of Mon
taoa. of which $3.50 were Ford cars.
This means one Ford car for every
olher car, of every make and 100 ov-
er. This proportion is very evenly
maintained in the other forty-seven
states. There are more than 5,OOO,-
600 motar cars in operation in the
United States, more than one-half of
which are Fords.
Truly, Henry Ford has been great
factor of benefit to humanity as he
has Brought the most economical solu-
ton to the great problems of trans
portation, and by the fruits of his
genius has linked town and country,
community to community, and made
the whole country a common meeting
place for all the people.
Spreading Over the World.
Brimming full of that confidence
which brings success,aand that active
energy which creates success, the
Ford Motor Company are establishing
assembling plants in Copenhagen,
Denmark, and in Cadiz, Spain.
The Ford Motor Company believes
the war is over, that a new dispense
ton has been established, and that the
sooner American manufacturers can
align themselves to the new condi-
tions and reach out to meet the great
demands of the world, why, the quick
er the havoc wrought by the war will
have bcen effaced. The quicker we
can get international business at work,
the sooner will the horrors of the war
disappear and the earlier we can
reach out our hand of trade to help,
the earlier will be the disappearance
of hate and enmity between people.
The Ford Motor Company believes
if you want the foreign market, go to
it. Don't wait for it to come to you
Take what you have to sell to the
market, and there show it's advan-
tages to the people who visit that
market and to the people who buy in
that market. If you wish foreign
trade, become an active, living part
in the red blood of that trade. The
whole world is market today for
American enterprise, and who realize
this truth and make honest efforts to
get that trade, will have it.
Counting by Millions.
On the 18th day of December al
1:55 p. M, in the year 1915, the Ford
Motor Company cast the one mil
lionth Mord Model 7 Motor, the ia
nous power plant of the famous Ford
car. 1t marked great achievement
when 100000 motors had been cast
consecutively, without hairs
breadth of change from the original
J design.
On April 9th, at 1880 p. M, in the
year 1919, the Ford Motor Company
! least the three millionth Model 7 Mo
: tor, and it was identically the same in
every detail, without change of a
hairs breadth in any particular, as
" the first Ford Model T Motor that
: was cast. 100000 of one piece of
, mechanism cast, one after the other,
! without change, is certainly about
as strong evidence of perfection as it
would be possible to conceive. AL
ready now more than 100000 Ford
cars in daily service, and more than
100000 alone carrying this famous
Model T power plant.
! A further pressing fact is that there
has not been a day in the past three
years when the Ford Motor Company
has not been more than 100000 cars
behind orders for immediate delivery,
and the output at the present time is
N excess of 5000 cars PEI day.
