RECORD SALES OF
 FORD AUTOMOBILES
Checks and Insurance Policies for EmpIoyes Of CraWford's
 Auto Shop

Bonus checks and life insurance pol < cies were distributed to members of Crawfords Auto shop organization at a banquet at the Southern club last night Sidney ]. Bowie, president of Crawford 5 Auto shop, local Ford dealers, presided over the banquet and passed out the checks and policies to D members of his organization.
 During the course of his remarks, MT Bowie. made the statement that CraW- ford's S Auto shop had sold 300 Ford auto- mobiles in the last Il months and that during the month of December to date, @ cars have been sold.
 "Crawford's Auto shop is making rep utation for itself in the matter of selling automobiles that has never been equalied n the south" said MT. Bowie. T be- iieve that l am safe in saying that we have sold more cars for the first Il months ,of 1920 than has ever been sold oy any automobile company in the south And we want to eclipse that mark next year. In 1921 our contract will call for leo cars per month and I am counting upon our being able to sell 15 cars per month"
 Bonus checks given employees of Craw- lords Auto shop were made out for amounts equal to z per cent of the amount of salary any employe drew dur ing the year. In this manner. everybody now in the employ of the company draw a bonus.
 Confidence in the future was manifest during the evening. MT. Bowie stated that plans were going ahead for in- creased business next year, that he felt that his entire organization would have their shoulders to the wheel even more so than at any previous time, that every effort was being made to speed up sales and give better service and was not a bit discouraged because of the present depression.
 '.We have sold cars right along, stated Mir. Bowie We have sold s9 in the first 21 days of December. People who iced automobiles continue to buy them. 1t isn't as easy to sell them as formerly vas the case, but we are working harder and we are going to work still harder ir, 1921

Prohibition sentiment throughout the country is con stantly growing and there will be no modification of the Vol stead act during the present generation, was the opinion ex- pressed by William M. Will jams, commissioner of internal revenue, at the weekly Kiwanis lunch yesterday at the South arn club.
 "You can imagine that the man
 who is charged with the joint duty
 of extracting both booze and in-
 come from his fellow citizens is
 not oyerburdened with popuiarity,'
 said MT. Williams. ..I shall be glad
 to get back to Alabama and while
 there is nothing doing yet, l may
 say that the prospects in the near
 future are good.'
 MT. Williams was the guest of John D. McNeel, local collector of internal revenue. He took good naturedly a lot of badinage on the enforcement duties of his department

 Among the advantages. he pointed out, were not only speed in the de- livery of local mail put a large force of additional mail clerks would be brought here to make their permanent home as well as a considerable operat- ing staff of mechanics and aviators to look after the hangars and pianes.
