FORD RETAIL SALES
GO OVER MILLION

A statement given out by Daniel
T. Buckleyl Of the Buckley-Kane |
Motor Co., local Ford agents, shows /
that the retail sales Of Ford cars
trucks and Fordson tractors have
again exceeded the million mark FOR
the year 1921.
The Ford factory and assembly
plant production figures reached a
total OF 1.O50.74O cars, trucks and
tractors for the year, with retail
sales by dealers approT mating
.O93 900. which in the United States
clone surpassed the 1920 retail sales
record by 1O4,213 Ford cars and
trucks.
The Ford Company says the out
iook for 1922 is decidedly optimistic.
In fact. evidence already exists in
that car and truck retail sales for
December, 1921, exceeded December
1920 sales by almost p per cent. and
Fordson tractor retail sales for the
same periods show an increase OF
over 100 per cent for December.
1921, as well as an increase over the
,ctal tractor sales for the month OF
November.
Mr.. Buckley said this seems TO in
dicate that not only are farmers
buying more freely, but that the
general public is becoming more re-
sponsive.
Another point brought out by Mr..
Buckley is that a comparison OF
production figures for the past two
years shows that Ford enclosed cars
are gaining in popularity as 2s per
cent. OF the 1921 production was
sedans and coupes as against is per
cent for the year previous. Mr..
Buckley said the popularity Of the
enclosed car is increasing in Will
mington and surrounding territory
by 20 per cent. over the previous
year.
Recent reductions in Ford car
and truck prices brought them to a
new low level. The touring car now
sells for S34S, the runabout for S319,
The coupe for $3.50, the sedan for
SEAS, the chassis for $2s5 and the
truck for s43O. all Z. o. b, Detroit.
The Ford Company believes that
this reduction. while not a large one
is especially important at this time
as II should go a long way toward
stabilizing market conditions. Ford
is giving employment at present tC
approximately 10000 men in his
main plant at Detroit.

without a miss or blowout is largely
responsible for the success OF the

the prospective buyer is that many
companies have slashed the prices
OF their cars. and some are contin-
uing TO do so.
There was no let up in the num-
