THE NEW CARS

We have .wo new Ford cars for 193g-better cars
and better looking we also have an entirely
new car.
It's called the Mercury 8. It fits into our line
between the De Luxe Ford and the Lincoln
Zephyr. 1t is larger than the Ford, with 116-inch
wheelbase, hydraulic brakes, and new 95-horse-
power V-gpe S-cylinder engine.
We know that our 1889 cars are cars of good
quality. We think they're fine values in their
price classes.
With new cars, new plants, new equipment, the
whole Ford organization is geared to go forward.

The Fords Tell Their Plans
TOR 1899

TF WE KNEW anything better we could do for
i the country than make good motor cars, we
would do it.
By every one doing his best in the job he
thinks most useful this country is going to regain
its momentum. We have tried to do our best in
our job.
When business was suddenly halted in its recov.
cry more than year ago, we determined that we
should keep going anyway, if not at full-volume
motor car production, then at getting ready for
greater motor car values that would help future
production.
EXPANDING FOR THE FUTURE
We began to build 81 million dollars worth of
new plants and equipment. We felt that if we
could not employ all our men building motor cars,
would employ many could building
better production facilities.
We were told, of course, that this was no time
for expansion, that a wiser business policy would
be to ''hold everything"-which means, stop
everything. But no one ever got anywhere
standing still.
Besides, we are not defeatists. We do not believe
this country has its best days. We believe this
country yet in the infancy of its growth. We be-
lieve that every atom Of faith invested in our
Country and our People will be amply justified by
the future. We believe America is just beginning.
Never yet have our People seen real Prosperity.
Never yet have we seen adequate Production.
But we shall see it! That is che assurance in
which we have built.
Business is not just coming back. 1t will have
to be brought back. That is now becoming well
understood in this country; for that reason 1889
will be cooperative year Manufacturers, sellers
and buyers will cooperate to bring back the bust
ness that is waiting to be brought back.
This construction program is almost completed.
1t has increased activity and payrolls in number
of related industries 1t has given better facil-
tiles for building better and trucks, and
eventually our tractor which is being perfected.
THIS MEANS MORE VALUE
The current program has provided a new tire
plant which will turn out part of tire require
ments new tool and die plant that will help
us cut the cost Of dies and a teclpress plant
that will enable us to make more of our own auto
mobile bodies These are in addition to the plants
we already had for producing glass, iron, steel,
plastics, and many other things.
q We don't supply all our own needs, of course,
and never expect to. The Ford engine is one thing
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1938-11-03

that no ones hand touches but ours. Of nearly
everything else build some quantity
ourselves, to find, if possible, better and more
economical ways of doing it. The experience
and knowledge we gain are freely shared with our
suppliers, and with other industries.
We take no profit on anything we make for
ourselves and sell to ourselves. Every operation,
from the Ford ships which first bring iron ore to
the Rouge, is figured at accurate cost. The only
profit is ON the finished resuit-the car or truck
as it comes off the line. Some years, there is no
profit for us. But we see to it that our customers
always profit. basic article of business creed
is that sale is economically constructive unless it
profits the buyer much as OR than the seller.
Our new plants have helped us build more
value into all our cars for 1889. That means
more profit on the purchase to the purchaser.
We have not cut quality to reduce costs.
We simply will not build anything inferior.

HARTNETT HOMER
BIG BLOW T0BUCS
Made With Two Out In 9Th,
1t Puts Chicago at Top
After Months Drive.
BY WESLEY CARTY,
Associated Press Sports Writer

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-Pittsbureh's
Pirates went into the third and last
act Of . baseball drama at Wrigley
Field with the Chicago Cubs today,
grimly aware 1t was their best chance
Of regaining the lead in the National
League pennant melee.
Knocked half a game out of first
place by Manager Gabby Hartnett,s
epic home run in yesterdays dusk, the
Pirates virtually have to get up OF
the floor to win the pennant And the
Cubs have to depend upon a shattered
pitching staff to stop that last stand
drive.
Upon the winning depended the rise
or fall OF each clubs pennant star, for
should the Cubs win they would
shorten the mathematical odds which
have been against them since they
began their great stretch run. But II
the Pirates win. they need only take
three Of their four remaining games
from Cincinnati's Reds to clinch tho
pennant, even though the Cubs take
all three Of their scheduled games with
st. Louis.
Pressure on Cub Slabmen.
The Cubs 6-to-5 triumph yesterday
was their ninth straight and their
nineteenth in the last % games. Thus
they recaptured the front rank posi-
ton they have not occupied since early
June and knocked the Pirates out of
the lead for the first time since July IL.
But the victory put further strain
on the Cubs undermanned pitching
staff. Six men worked for Chicago,
six Of tired, overworked crew.
Today Russ Bauers, rested and ready,
carried Pittsburgh's hopes to the
mound. Against him the Cubs pitted
Bill Lee, their ace hurler, but a weary
one. Lee pitched nine innings against
the Cardinals Monday. relieved Dizzy
Dean Tuesday and worked an inning

terday but full of heart Although they
committed four bad fielding errors,
they battled back to take the lead

Drama Packed in Ninth.
But the Cubs determination and
will to win carried them back to tie tho
score each time
Dizzy Deans pitching, after his long
spell on the shelf with a sore arm,
brought the first game of the series
Tuesday to dramatic heights which
rivaled those seen in Wrigley Field
when the Cubs won the pennant in
1929, when they won with late drive
under Charley Grimm in 1892, when
they snatched the flag by winning 2l
straight in 1885
But yesterday-seldom, even In a
World Series. was there as dramatic a
moment as that in the ninth inning.
Ford Frick, president of the National
League. had instructed the umpires to
call the game because of darkness if
the score remained tied at the end of
the inning. Two out Two strikes to

LEADS IN POWER
Far Ahead Of Cubs, Bucs'
at SIamming Home Runs,
Driving in Scores.
This u the second Of series
comparing the prospective oppo-
nents In the coming World Series.)
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-Connie
Mack, whose memory goes back to the
Indian wars, says the New York
Yankees Of this year are the best
ball club he ever saw. He probably was
looking at the world Champion in
field when the thought occurred to
him.
In Lou Gehrig, Joe Gordon. Frankie
Crosetu and Red Rolfe the bullies Of
baseball really have an elegant inner
works. In fielding skill they are at
least the equal Of the quartet who
perform for either the Chicago Cubs or
the Pittsburgh Pirates, who are head
ing for q photo finish in the National
League. As distance hitters and run
producers they are miles ahead Of
their World Series rivals.
This despite the fact that both the
Cubs and the Pirates have better
than-average infields-far the best in
the National League this season.
Neither has really weak spot. Yet
1t is impossible to rank either with the
Yankee four as possible deciding
factor in . World Series, where sheer
power is all-important. Sometimes
power bows before rush Of great
pitching, but for the most part power
is q comforting thing to have.
Edge in Power With Yanks.
The ensuing little table seems elo-
quent If the eyes bear down on the
last two columns to the right-the
home runs and runs batted in:
Evening star., 1938-09-29

Thus it is noted that the Yanks,
while hitting less than the Pirates on
group average. really have done far
more damage to opposing pitchers. In
other words, they hit the pay-on
punches Gehrig in six World Series
has compiled a hitting average Of .37l,
including 10 home runs.
Vaughan Tops Shortstops.
Taking them position by position,
the Yankees must be conceded the
best man at flrst and second. Chicago
fans probably will debate the nomina-
ton of the rookie Gordon over their
great second sacker, Bill Herman, but
the best opinion is that Herman has
slipped little this year and that Cor
don, If not the best second baseman in
the business today, is closing in on
Charley Gehringer fast.
Red Rolfe at third is at least a
stand-of for 'Chicagos Hack. Most
baseball men consider him the best ir
the game. II that is true, then the
Yanks need concede only one infield
spot to their potential rivals-short-
stop. Slugging Arkie Vaughan of the
Pirates undoubtedly is more valuable
payer than Crosetti, yet the little
Italian Is such slick fielder and so
fine a lead-of man that Vaughan's
margin Is less than it looks.
Gordon's inspired play at second
base, his habit Of snaring balls that
few other infielders would touch, prob
ably makes the Yankees a slightly
tighter defensive unit than either rival.
They have helped their pitchers with
ITO double plays up to now, compared
to 100 for the Pirates and 135 for the
Cubs,
