Some FACTS About FORD THE UNIVERSAL CAR Here are authentic figures from the Ford fattory at Detroit. They show you just how many Ford cars and trucks have been built each each month since January 1, 1923, and how many have been sold to retail customers, in the United States: Delivered to Produced Retail Customers January ......... 29,883 57,208 February ....... 35,305 - 63,603 March .......... 61,886 87,221 Total production.. 127,074 Total sales... 208,032 showing that actual sales for the first three manths of 1921 exceeded production by 80,958 Ford cars and trucks. April requisitions already specify 107,719 additiohal cars and trucks and the estimated April output of the factory and assembly plants combined calls for only 90,000! These facts clearly show that the demand for Ford products is growing much faster than manufacturing facilities to produce and were it not for the dealers' limited stocks, which are now rapidly be ing depleted, many m-ore customers would have been compelled to wait for their.cars. It will be only a matter of weeks, therefore, until a big surplus of orders will prevent anything like prompt de liveries. If you would be sure of having your Ford car or truck when you want it, you should place your order now. Don't delay. Phone us or drop us a card. L. F. WEHRLI Phone 5 COVINGTON, LA.
