Gentlemen: We are writing you in re
»I>oiiee to your request regarding the ru
mor which is now afloat stating that ii
the near future Ford Cars are to l>e sold
for one-thousand dollars.
There is absolutely no truth to this ru
mor. As near as we can figure out, this
was started by our competitors who have
told prospective customers that this re
duction would take place later on. Tbit
matter would cause some people to hold
off placing orders, and this in turn would
give ail opening for a competitor to sen j
the customers, and possibly secure an or
der. but our best instructions to you. and
to those who are contemplating buying
Ford cars, is to say that the FORD MO j
TOR COMPANY, is not for sale, and at
the present time, the factory is ten
thousand ears behind, and if they expect
to get cars within any reasonable length
of time, they had better place orders now.
We hope this will convince prospects.
Yours verv truly,
FORD MOTOR COMPANY,
E. Backus, Asst. Manager.
