WZE'RE STARTING ANOTHER
and it seems like good time to look back
and look ahead.
1t was almost at the beginning of this
century that we started our company. We
wanted TO build good, sound car and sell
il at a price low enough SO pretty nearly
every family could have one.
We were all alone in that idea then. But
the experience of thirty seven years and the
building of one-third of all the motor cars
ever made have proved il was sound idea.
A lot of interesting things have resulted
from it.
One was our discovery that there are
very few high-priced things that can't be
produced at low price, if you're stub
born enough TO stick TO it until you find
the way. We're finding new ways TO do that
right along.
Another was our discovery that you can
pay high wages and cut the cost of your
goods at the same time, without cheating
on the quality of the product That idea is
pretty widely accepted today. Not as much
as it might be, or as it will be in the future,
but already its the rule instead of the
exception.
We have learned that stability of employ
ment with every possible security for the
worker is one of the most desirable things
that can be achieved. We want to keep all
our 10000 men at work throughout the
New Year if it is at all possible. And we
have planned our production schedules

accordingly-to level out the peaks and
valleys of production and employment.
Our payrolls are now the largest in recent
years Because the increased business of last
year permitted it, we raised the wage rate
of thousands of our men. We also put into
effect a S15O,OOO,OOO insurance plan for
the benefit of our employees.
A lot of other things have resulted from
the success of the low-priced automobile
The roads that have been built The oil and
gas and tire and service businesses that have
grown up. The new markets that have been
built up for farm products to be used as
raw materials in industry. The freedom that
people have TO move around and see their
country
But the most important thing we have
found in these thirty-seven years is that this
country is always good to a business that
never sells the country short-a business
founded on the belief that this country is
going steadily ahead, and is willing to
invest everything it has in the future.
That is why our plant here at Dearborn
is never completely "fnished' in the way
that house is finished. That's why we are
always rebuilding and adding to our facili-
ties as we are, even now, TO provide for
the new tractor.
That's why we can say Happy New Year
with confidence. We know that. no matter
what haep-ns, America Will be able to
review some more real progress at the end
of 1910.

TREASURY ABLE TO
BORROW ; BILLION
Analysis Shows Morgenthau
Can Issue Paper for 3d.
2O0,O0O,OOC More

Washington. Dec. 1.-(AP)-The
treasury after analyzing its debts ano
this weeks large borrowings, found
TODAY it could borrow approximate
" S3,2OO,OOO,000 more before reach
ING the statutory debt limit
Half a billion dollars OF the treas
ury's borrowing power was used up
Tuesday in the sale of 2 per cent y
to 11-year bonds, an operation winch
Secretary Morgenthau acclaimed as a
success because bidders for the bonds
asked for more than $4,000, 900
-worth.
The computation Of how much Dor
owing power was left was necessltat
d by the fact that the statutory debt
limit fixed in 1917 is not exactly the
S45, OOO,OOO,O0O figure commonly
mentioned by officials.
The 1917 law, it was disclosed to-
ay, merely limited the treasury to
proving S45,0OO,0 100000 more than
already owed on securities is
ed under previous acts. Today S
.mputation showed that S613, 869.597
of the present debt represents pre-
1917 obligations which are not in
volved in the SIS 100000 limit.
5ubtracting this amount from the
o96.5O5,674 debt the treasury oW-
ore this weeks half billion bOr-
lng. the treasury still had S4,-
317,363.923 of unused borrowing
ser.
From this figure must be subtract
ed the 100000 borrowed this
Il 0foG SS1
10000 of debt which will be created
automatically III connection with pre-
vious sales Of baby bonds The baby
bonds grew in value every six months
and officials said they must reserve
part Of their borrowing power to
take care of this growth.
How long the remaining $780,
100000 borrowing power will last, Of
ficials appeared unwilling to pre-
dict Some estimates, however, in
dictate that about $4,000. 000,0 900 Of it
may be needed to finance the deficit
for the remainder Of the current fis-
cal year, or until June 80, 1910, and
reports from some officials indicate
that the next fiscal years deficit may
be roughly S2,50O,OOO,000.
The President and Morgenthau
have indicated in recent weeks that
sooner or later, Congress must either
increase the debt limit, levy new
taxes, or cut down expenditures.
Whatever the decision, Morgenthau
told reporters today, the govern
ment's credit seems to be as good as
it was before the war administered
a severe shock to financial markets.

MONUMENT FALLS
ON OXFORD STREET
Statue Norrowly Misses Au-

Oxford. Dec. 1.-THE man on the

noon about 2:3O o'clock and just dld
miss an automobile and some nearby
people while Workmen were erect
me a Christmas tree at the lnteresc-
tion of WILLIAMSBURG, Hlllsboro ana
Main streets here.
The monument was erected by the
members of the Oxford club OF the
United Daughters Of the Confederacy
n memory of the Confederate SOL
diers on October 80, 1909, with Gov
ernor William Walter Kltchln beng
the guest speaker at the unVelllng

the exercises were the late attorney
general of North Carolina, u. u.
Brummitt, who was mayor and who
welcomed the visitors; the late Gen
eral B. S. Register, an dthe late S.
NJ Gattis.
The Oxford club of the organlZa-
ton under the leadership OF the late
Mrs. Lizzie Biggs White worked
faithfully in various ways to raise
the $4,000 recuircd fCr the erection
of the mon~...~nt.
The end of the rifle, which was
being held by the soldier, was broken
off, and the mans head came apart
at the neck when the statue fell.
The Christmas tree is being COM
pleted and the man will be placed
back on the monument, probably
when the Christmas tree is taken
down at the end Of the season.

it has proved true that no subject
