Ford Sales Pass The Half
Million Mark In l2O Days

More than half million Ford. cars
and trucks sold in 120 days.
That is the astonishing record just
established by the Ford Motor Com
pany ,eclipsing all previous sales fig
ures and emphasizing more strongly
than ever the right of the Ford to
the title "The Universal Car"
From January to May sales of
Ford cars and trucks in the United
States reached the enormous total of
T61,5 44, nearly twice the number sold
at retail during the same period year
ago when the total was 283,782.
Even with its huge production IA
cilities, now operating on a schedule
in excess of $500 care and trucks a
day, the company is unable to keep
up with the unprecedented demand.
April set new sales record for the
month, just as has every other month
this year, and was the thirteenth con-
secutive month In which sales have
run over the 100000 mark,
Sales. during April totaled 1852
Ford cars and trucks, $4,000 more
than were, delivered in the same
month last year when 1922 retail
deliveries were made.
New production records were es-
tablished by the Ford Motor Company
for the week ending May 8, during
which total of 39,053 cars and trucks
were turned out for domestic use, ac-
cording to announcement by The Ford
News. This exceeds by 1872 the pre-
vious high record set the week before.
Daily production records went to a
new high mark Friday, May a, when
$500 cars and trucks were assembled,
beating the record of 6,573 established
on Tuesday April II.
Fordson Tractor production for the
week ending Tuesday was 2,578.
During the same week the Lincoln
division of the Ford Motor Company
produced 176 Lincoln cars.

Holt was then itching to get out Of
the machine and get the negro, but
his companions declared "it couldn't
be JONES'"
On the return trip, however he per-
suaded them to help him. His plan
was that they get out of the car and
pretend it was stalled.
With Jones approaching, Hollis
companions carried out the bluff while
Holt stood back Of the car, ostensively.
bored by what was happening.
AS the negro passed by Holt grab
bed him by the coat.
"What TO- you grab me 2" demand
ed the negro. 81 amt no murderer"
II know you're no murderer" re-
piled Hart as his companions came
forward to help him, "but you are the
man want. Lift your hat so can
see that scar on your head"
Jones complied. The scar was there.
It was the scar upon which authori-
ties had. based their hope for Jones'
recapture.
Jones showed no fight, and when
searched was found to be without a
weapon. Their captors also were
without shooting irons. Culver, who
has broken arm, drove the car to
Blades, where they stopped because of
q fiat tire. At Blades they obtained
a revolver from Mayor Albert H. Rig
gin and pair Of handouts.
They then proceeded on their way
to Salisbury, Md, Jail where they
turned Jones over to Sheriff John H.
Farlow, who declared he would take
extra precautions against new es-
cape by the alleged bandit. He said
a guard would be stationed night and
day over Jones' cell.
Sheriff Farlow told the quartet they
would get the money for the capture
Of Jones when the Board of County
Commissioners meets, at which time,
he said Jones would be transferred
to the Maryland Penitentiary to begin
his 20-year sentence and, the addi-
tional time the Court would impose
for Jail breaking.
Sheriff Farlow said that Jones had
been mixed up in at least $50 robber-
les Of homes and business places with
in the last nine months in Seaford,
Bridgeville, Greenwood, Georgetown,
Milford, Knowles Cross Roads, Lau-
rel, Delmar, Salisbury, Cambridge,
Berlin ,Hurlock, fredericksburg and
many other places in Delaware and
Maryland.
The band of thieves derived their
name "Pink Candle" from the use of
pink candles which they used to light
their way when once they had entered
place. Drippings from the candles
could always be found about the floors
the morning following the robbery.
Since Jones made his escape from
the Salisbury Jail with Preston john
son, Moses Dennis and Marion Mills
he has been hunted night and day by
the authorities of Sussex, Dorchester,
Wicomico and Caroline counties.
