the best for all the employees of the

sever-faithful letter carriers.
He has issued orders to post
masters throughout the country that
their offices, will be closed all day

special delivery letters and parcels
and special handling letters and
parcels.
In order that the vast army of
carriers and clerks may enjoy
Christmas Day to the fullest extent
with their families and friends, the
cooperation of every man, woman
and child in the United State will be
necessary.
Under the leadership of the Post
master General, campaign is now
under. way throughout the country
to instill into the minds OF everybody
the necessity for shopping and mall
ing earlysin order that there will be
as little congestion at the post offices
as possible during Christmas week

and receiver of gifts and remem-
brances may reap the happiness that
is contemplated by such an ex-

FORD OUTPUT INCREASES

All records for early winter Ford
sales were broken during November
when 146,7SS passenger cars and
trucks were delivered to retail
customers in the United States.
This is an increase OF, approximately
$4,000 over the November sales a
year ago. a..
AS the holidays approach de-
liveries of cars to customers who
have been buying them under the
Weekly Purchase Plan are increas-
ing. Some began paying on their
automobiles as long as year ago.
Others during the early spring and
summer months, long before the i'm
proved Ford types were introduced.
All now benefit in the convenience
and comfort afforded by the i'm
proved cars and their increased
value, without any additional cost.
