127,249 FORDS
SOLD IN APRIL

Ford Retail Sates lilt New High
Mark. .
According to a report just recelv- i
ed from the Fod Motor Company,
Detroit a daily average of 5,210 re.
tail sales of Ford cars and trucks
head been reached by the close of
April in the United States alone.
Ford sales of Cars and Trucks for
the month, including both domestic
and foreign, totaled 127,249. This
establishes a new high record, ex
ceeding the. largest previous month
June 1921, by 15,467.
The sale of Fordson tractors nas i
also been steadily climbing. A total
of 11,181 Fordsons were sold during
April in the United States, a daily
average of 469 having been reached
by the end of the month. This gives
the tractor a new high sales record,
and shows 100 r /r increase over the
best month of 1921.
The Ford Company is enjoying a
banner year in all departments. Out
put of Ford cars and trucks for the
year, according to present estimates,
will exceed 1.100.000 which repre
sented a ten per cent increase over
1921.
The Ford factory at Detroit is now
operating at full capacity, having a
force of more than 40,000 men on
the payroll. The scheduled output
plied against orders approximating
for May will probably reach 135,000 j
cars and trucks, which will he ap
-165,000.
Despite the attempt of the factory
and the twenty-three assembling
plants in the United States to pro
duce a sufficient number of cars to
meet the unusually heavy demand,
it has been impossible for Ford deal
ers in most cases to make im
mediate deliveries. —Adv.
