FORD AGEXCY IN MERIDIAN
THING OF THE PART.
No more will the Jolly little fllver
ramble in or tout of what his been
known as the "Ford Garage" in Mer
idian, or at least the place will be
under new management.
The agency for the Ford car has
been taken away from Meridian, in
line with various other of the smal
ler towns in this vicinity. The terri
tory will be handled from the Boise
agency. While Agent Bryant has
just completed a big garage in Boise
it is said, however, that his sales for
next season will be limited to 300
cars for his entire territory, taking
is all of Ada and parts of other
counties.
The reason of the restricted sales
is said to be the inability of the fac
tory to produce the cars needed and
that Henry Ford has turned a large
portion of his factory at Detroit over
to the making of war supplies.
Hedges brothers, who have had
the Ford agency here and distrib
uted a great many cars, will continue
their agency at Mountain Home. D.S.
Gardner has bought the repair shop
end of the business in Meridian and
will continue In business here. .He
also plans to put in another make of
car in the salesroom.

send to the soldier hoys in North
Carolina. The freight will be about
$400 per c,\vr and the railroads will
not he aide to transport the cars free.
The credit for instituting the move

ability of the success of the plan is a
subject for congratulation.
