For Street

We would suggest Organdies, Dotted Swisses and Voiles-Each Frock has style and workmanship, irresistably charming, extremely appropriate for street wear. These frocks are de- veleoped from imported organdies and voiles, trimmed with beautiful sashes of two tone shades, others are artistically embroidered.

Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1921-07-14

Officials for the unprecedented
demand for Ford cars is the pres
ent tendency toward economy.
Manyof those whose names have
been added to the long list Of
buyers might we'll have afforded
larger and more costly cars than
the Ford, but it is the belief
that most prospective motor car
buyers are investigating all Of
the costs incident to motoring
much more carefully than at
any period during the past five
years.
The estimated output of the
Ford Factories for july calls for
100, 000scars and trucks, or a
aroduction of 1850 day for 25
days.
Since the assembling of cars
is being banded during an
eight hour work day only, the
hourly output will lie $40 cars.
In other words, one FORD car or
truck leaves the assembly line
every 6 1-2 seconds.

Ford Plant Builds
1O8, 962 In June
Demand Exceeds Output as
Ford Breaks All Previous
Records

During the month of June, the
Ford Motor Company, thru its
Detroit Factories and % Assemb-
ly Plants throughout the country
reached the production of 108,
962 Ford cars and trucks, set
ting up a new high record for
one month.
Production of Ford cars and
trucks has been steadily increas-
ing since early spring, and shows
substantial gains over the same
period last year. The second
qulrter of 1921, viz, April,
Nav and June, shows an output
Of 301, 796 Ford cars and trucks
against 220,S7S for the same
three months of last year, or a.
net increase of 80,918.
Despite the fact, however,
that the Ford Plants have been
running at maximum capacity,
the demand for Ford cars and
trucks is not being met, and at
the present time, many thousand
untitled orders have been piled
vi ahead so that Ford sales are
sti limited by manufacturing
facilities rather than marketing
possibilities. Particularly is
tn true with respect to enclos
ed cars, for which the demand
ha been unusually heavy.

More Tire Mileage
Dayton Wire Wheels
distribute heat from
tires ard save the
rubber. They add to
the resiliency and
give more tire mile
age. Daytons mean
longer life to your
car, too.
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1921-07-14

Quick Tire Change
In case of puncture
with Daytons, the en-
tire wheel is changed
quickly by unscrew-
ing the hub cap and
putting on the spare
wheel with tire in-
nated. The built-in
locking device adds
much in safety.
