FORD RETAIL SALES
MAKE NEW RECORD

Retail sales of Ford cars, trucks
and tractors established new high
record during June, when, according
to statement issued from the Ford
factory at Deroit, an average of s.
709 machines were sold daily.
Ford sales have been showing a
Consistent increase each month this
year, June being the highest in the
history of the company, with a total
Of 148,439 cars, trucks and tractors.
Of this number; 6.054 were sold by the
Ford Motor Co. of Canada, and 9,435
by the various European Ford COM
panies and South American branches,
reaching purchasers in practically
every civilized country in the world.
With the closing Of business for
June, Ford records disclosed the fact
that total sales for the first six
months of 1922 were we'll over the
half million mark, the exact figures
being 652,261. This is also new
high record, as it is considerably in
advance Of any previous half-year
period.
July Ford sales are expected 70
equal and probably eclipse June. The
estimated output Of cars, trucks and
tractors has been placed at 151,767,
although dealers have requisitioned
more than 100000.
Ford officials state that every at
tempt has been made to supply their
dealers with sufficient cars to fill
their orders, but that for the past
three months prompt deliveries have
been impossible with some Of the
types. The demand for Ford en-
closed cars has been especially hard
to meet, due to the ever-increasing
popularity of the coupe and sedan
for all-year-round use.
A reflection Of general business
conditions is seen in the record Of
Ford truck sales, which show an in
crease Of "a per cent. over last year
Merchants and farmers alike have
come to recognize the utility Of the
motor truck in cutting transportation
costs and speeding up deliveries, and
the fact that they are buying nearly
twice as many now as a year ago
clearly points to better business con-
ditions.
At the present time Ford is en-
ploying $4,000 men in Detroit.

Upton COUNTY BOY
APPEALS TO RED CROSS

Do the people in Upton county al
mire nerve and pluck? Do they wanl
to see their young citizens succeed
ana do they wish them well?. II
they do, the churches, the clubs and
all people with the age-old love OF
hero worship in their hearts will fee
/ once more the thrill that comes when
mighty deeds are done.
II Suppose that from early childhood
you had been terribly crippled, swing
ing along on crutches, both fee. limp
and useless Suppose you had had
dreams Of getting well, but they had
been the vain imaginings OF a very
young &eart.
But suppose one day something had
happened Somebody new had Wis
tied your school-"a Red Coss lady,
who told of crippled boys ma well
Supposed she had looked at you and
sadly shaken her head as hopeless.
Would that have born a wild desire,
a hope undreamed?
Would you have slipped away from
home without saying a word to your
Parents and capght boat at Ran
dolph, a regular stowaway? Would
you have gone, all by yourself, a
"hopeless cripple" into a strange city
and inquired and inquired until you
found the right doctor? Would you
have waited hours for chance to
see him, and then unflinchingly pre-
scented yourself to him and asked him
to make you well, telling him your
father was poor and sick and there
was no one to help?
That is what boy from Upton
county did-a hero we submit.
When he found that he.great ply
stefan could and would gladly do the
work, but that one thing was yet
lacking something that neither the
hospital nor the doctor could give
he wrote the following letter:
miss Margie Hawkins:
Il am the cripple boy that was at
Walnut Grove School house last win
ter when you was there. The doctors
has operated on me and said | cSuld
60 walking without crutches if / had
braces to go on my fot and leg. DR..
said it would take $4,000 and /
haven't got it. Will you please help
me.
"If you want to know further in
formation write DR.. Car bell or DR.
Speed Yours truly"
Can we refuse such call. It's
been investigated and every word is
true. His people are unable to help.
Some one must. The Red Cross would
give all, but it is almost bankrupt"
If the people want to continue its
Service to those who suffer" they
will be glad to assist in this. The
response to the appeal recently made
was so fine and generous that taking
courage from that, the Red Cross pre-
sents this claim Won't you help?
Please leave donations at the teller's
window, Upton County-Farmers
Union Bank.
