THE NEW CARS

We have two new Ford cars for 1o3o-better cars
and better looking-but we also have an entirely
new car.
It's called the Mercury s. 1t 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-ype Scylinder engine.
We know that our 1899 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.

II makes any kind of weather to order. The
weather it delivers every day would take months
to find in Nature. Our cars are weather.tested to
give you good service in any climate anywhere.
In other tests, every part Of the car is pun
ished numerically. Then our engineers tear it
down to see if they can find abnormal wear or
any sign of weakness.
The money we spend on tests saves you money
on repairs. And your family car is safer and more
dependable when we put it in your hands.

that no ones hand touches but ours. Of nearly
everything else we use we 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 result-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 our business creed
Is that no sale is economically constructive unless it
profits the buyer much as more 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.
NEW TESTING EQUIPMENT
While we were putting up new plants to produce
cars, we constructed new equipment to test them.
The first weather tunnel of its kind ever built for
automobile research went into operation at our
Laboratories this year.

The Fords Tell Their Plans
.%r1939

IF 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 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 "a million dollars worth of
new plants and equipment. We felt that if we
could not employ all our men building motor cars,
we would employ many we could building
better production facilities.
We were told, of course, that this was no time
for expansion, that wiser business policy would
be to ehold 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 Is 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 i'll That is the 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 busi-
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 fac.
tiles for building better cars and trucks, and
eventually our newractorwhich is being perfected.
THIS MEANS MORE VALUE
The current program has provided new tire
plant which will turn out part of our tire require
ments -. new tool and die plant that will help
us cut the cost of dies :. and steel.press 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.
We don't supply all our own needs, of course,
and never expect to. The Ford engine is one thing

great publicity to the following
foolish recommendations Of the

Whitehurst:
To build an rnderpass at Du'

To widen K Street from

Neither of these items should
be permitted.
Why, may I ask, must we, the

Today Is District Day

TO-DAY is District Day in the House. Later this
week the District appropriation bill will be passed
by the House.
The District Day program is directed by Balt-
morean; the appropriation bill Will be champloned by
a Mississppian.
Both will be acted on by handful of members who
will superimpose on their vote the standard set by
their own municipalities, which send them to Wash
ington as their sole representatives for specific pur
pose-to represent the people back home.

Congress, in the past, has legis-

what is good for West Virginia and for Massachusetts

still another question arises If duplication is the rule
then why is it that jurisdictions have found they

LET'S Do Our Share

I desire to call attention to
the fact that the Citizens Per-
manent Committee, headed by
Mrs. John Boyle, jr.. has fed
5000 needy school children for
about four months. They have
managed to raise the money for
this worthy enterprise and de-
serve praise and commentator
and help instead of adverse pub
ncity and censure.
Let us thank Mrs. Boyle and
her committee, fellow residents
of the District of Columbia, and
support her appeal for an appro-
priation to carry on the work
she has begun. This is too sig
nificant and important an I'm.
dertaking to depend on the
make-shift fortunes of a private
charity movement.
This work must be continued
and it is not fair for us to leave
the whole burden on the un-
justly harassed shoulders Of
Mrs. Boyle. It is our responsible
ity as well to see that these chill
dren are fed and clothed. Let us
support the appeal for an appro-
priation and see that these chill
dren are taken care Of.

If our beloved President has

it is time for the masses to put
their shoulders to the wheel and

Another Amendment
The Panay affair is closed and
the Ludlow resolution Is dead,
but that does not prevent similar
affairs occurring in the future
or similar resolutions being in
troduced. Both should teach us
q lesson.
If we continue to stick around
in danger zones we can expect
trouble and maybe war, and the
American people do not want
war and are unwilling to again
be drafted for service across the
seas.
The following proposed amend
ment is, I believe, a step in the
right direction both in limiting
the use Of the draft to national
defense only, and in limiting the
power Of a President, as COM
mander in chief Of the Army and
Navy, to send soldiers and battle
ships any place promiscuouSly
and keeping them there even at
the expense Of jeopardizing the
peace of the United States.
While this proposed amend
ment leaves out the Philippines
