Detroit, effective August 2, 1915 FORD RUNABOUT - $390.00 FORD TOURING CAR - $440.00 FORD TOWN CAR . $640.00 No speedometer included in this year's equipment, otherwise cars fully equipped There can be no assurance given against an advance in these prices at any time, we guarantee, however, that there will be no reduction in these prices prior to August 1, 1916 Profit-Sharing with Retail Buyers On August 1, 1914, we made the announcement that if we could make and sell at retail 300,000 Ford cars between August 1, 1914 and August 1, 1915 we would share profits with the re tail purchasers, to the extent of from $40 to f 60 on each car. we have sold over 300,000 Ford cars in the time specified, and profit-sharing checks of 150 each will be distributed as rapidly as possible after August 15, 1915. Retail purchasers who have not yet mailed us their profit-sharing coupons, properly en dorsed, should do so without delay. Our plan to profit share with retail purchasers of Ford cars during 1914-15 has been most successful, we thoroughly be lieve in it, but, realizing the uncertainty of conditions general ly makes it advisable to defer any announcement of future profit-sharing until a later date. we are, however, confident of our inability to reduce costs for several months, and therefore can offer no profit-sharing for cars delivered during August, September and October, 1915.
