Motor Company
Passes Million
Mark in Sales

Retail sales Of Ford cars, trucks
and Fordson tractors have again
exceeded the million mark for the
year 1921, according to a stateme mt
given out today by the Ford Motor
Company.
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 approximating L.
os3.0o0. which In the United States
alone surpassed the 1920 retail sales
record by 104,2l3 Ford cars and
trucks.
The Ford company says the out
look for 1929 Is decidedly optimistic.
In fact. concrete evidences already
exist In that car and truck retail
sales for December, 1921, exceeded
December. 1920. sales by almost IS
per cent, and Fordson tractor retail
sales for the same periods show an
increase Of over 100 per cent for
December 1921, as we'll as an in.
crease over the total tractor sales
for the month Of November.
These facts seem to indicate that
not only are the farmers buying
more freely, but that the general
public Is becoming more responsive
and receptive.
Another point brought out by a
comparison of production figure for
the past two years shows that Ford
enclosed cars are gaining in popu-
larity, as % per cent OF the 1921
production were Seuans and coupes
as against a total of is per cent for
the year previousI

the cure for friction. If applied in
timesand at the proper place and in
the proper quality and quantity
practically all friction can be avoid

In between two surfaces a compar-

slide over each other with less ex-

therS is need that an owner of an
automobile give great care to his
