PRICE OF FORDSON
 TRACTOR IS REDUCED
A. R. PRYOR AND THE ESSEX

Edsel E. Ford. president of the Ford Motor company, has given out the fol- lowing statement:
 The price of the Fordson tractor has been reduced from $790 to s625, ef- fective immediately.
 This price change has been made possible through lower costs of ma terials and the fact that we are now located in our new tractor plant with
 greatly increased economic manufac-
 turing facilities in immediate connec-
 tion with our sundry and machine shops and large blast furnaces, where
 iron is poured directly from the ore,
 power to reduce cost of production,
 and down comes the price in line with our policy to market our products at the lowest possible figure without in any way affecting our high standard
 of quality.
 ''We are particularly pleased in being able to bring about this big reduction in price at this time because the farmer needs all the help we can give him, and this big cut in price will be
 the means of placing a valuable power unit within the reach of practically 1 every one of them. Not to mention in- dustrial and commercial concerns which likewise have benefited through 1 its use and are already realizing to a much greater extent it's value as g power and hauling unit.

There is no question that the use of machine power on the farm is the greatest advancement made in the de-
 velopment of agriculture, not only iii money saving and money making re- suits, as well as raising the standards of living on the farm to a much higher level, but because of it's proved value in making every type of land more productive. and consequently our de- sire to place the Fordson within the , reach of all
