FORD CUTS TRACTOR
PRICE DOWN TO 1895

Announcement Of the reduction
made today at the Ford Motor works
that the price of the Fordson Tractor
had been reduced to 1896.
This is cut of $3.50.
This sweeping announcement
was made by Ford in a wireless
statement broad-casted to farmers.
81 have been farmer all my life,
Ford said, land now l am doing
everything possible to cut the cost of
farming
Ford tells the farmers that they
would have to put their business an a
paying basis by lowering the cost or
planting, cultivating and harvesting
crops.
Ford said that in cutting the price
of tractors nearly so per cent, the
company had taken upon itself a gil
gantic task of reducing manufactur-
ing costs, but which is not greater
than the farmers problem of today"
