Ford Produces
1000 Cars a Day
Present Production Greater Than for
Same Period Last Year

Ford is building cars at full speed.
an, according to an official state
ment from the factory at Detroit, the
demand for Ford cars and trucks
still exceeds the output, despite the
fact that new high level of pro.
duction has been reached
BY the first of May the figures rep
resenting daily production were in
The neighborhood of 1000 day, so
the May schedule was set at 101 ,125
cars and trucks, not including the
or any of the foreign assembling
plants. The output mounted daily:
May 18th brought forth 4,092, the
greatest number that have been pro-
duced. in one day so far this year.
Since the month has 25 working days,
present indications point to a new
high record.
A comparison of Ford production
figures for 1920 and 1921 discloses
the fact that for April, 1921 the out.
put was greater than for the cores
ponding month of year ago. The
output for May 1921 will probably
overshadow May, 1921 by between
fifteen and twenty thousand cars and
trucks.
Approximately $4,000 men are at
work in the Detroit plant of the Ford
Motor Company. The factory is op.
Grating on full time, six days a week
and three shifts day.

dition than we are right now" said

She constantly used the 'argot OF

before the Christian era
A Chinaman who has a son can al
