DETROIT, December 22.-The out
put of Ford automobiles in Detroit in
December probably will exceed 1Q0,
900 cars, as compared with the $4,000
produced in December last year. This
is due to the fact that close downs
for the holidays will be of extremely
limited Duration
The Ford Highland Park plant will
close only three days, in addition to
christmas and New Year, and the
River Rouge plant will close certain
departments only for a day, and the
Lincoln Company will close only one
additional day.
Shoppers in the department stores
are getting the answer: we are all
sold out of that when they attempt
TO make purchases. Wholesalers have
been besieged by retailers fighting to
get goods. Prices. however, have re-
manned remarkably steady and mer
chants do not look for much change
during the remainder of the winter.
