wages and prices continued high in j

Do these representatives of the nen-
ple presume for one minute that the
railroad men, now more than half or
whom are out of work with more be
ing layed off every day, favor an in
crease to these county officials?
Do they think the farmer unci the

Do they thing the fnrmer and the

Mr. Edsel B. Ford, President of the Ford Motor Company,
gives out the following statement:
"The price of the FORDSOX Tractor has, been reduced
from fi!)0.()() to (ili.l.OO, elToe.tive inunediately. - !
The jirieo ehangv' has been made possible through lower
costs of materials and the fact that we are now located in our
new Tractor Plant with greatly increased economic, manufactur
ing facilities in immediate connection with out foundry ami. ma
chine simps and large blast furnaces where iron is poured di
rectly from the ore, giving us maximum efficiency w-rth the p,ow
er to reduce cost of production, and down conies the price in line
willi our policy to market our products at the lownst ixssihlo
figure without in any way affecting our high standard of ifuality.
AVo are paill.icularly pleased in being able to bring about
this big reduction in price at this time because tho fanner needs
all the help wo can give him and this big cut in price will be the .
means of placing a valuable power unit wit'hinr'the reach of prac
tically every one of them, not to mention indnsltrial and ooumio'r
ciarconeerns which likewise have benefited through its use and
arc already realizing, to a much greater extent, its value as a
power and hauling unit, liut particularly has the FOUDSOX
Tractor proved 'a nior, valuable. factor in tho saving of fann la
bor, at tlie same time increasing the per aero crop yield as well
as making possible it utilization of previously uncultivated land,
to say nothing of removing no end of drudgery.
There is no ipiestion that the use of machine power on lhe
farm is the greates't. advancement made in the development of
agriculture, not only in money saving and money making re
sults, as well as raising thj standards of living on tho farm to a
much higher level, but because of iTs proved value in making'
every typo of land more productive, and consequently our desire
to place tho FORDSOX within the roach of all.
TIIKL'K IS NO ClIANOH IX TIfK IM.KSF.XT FORD CAR
AXI) TRl'CK PRICKS, which are already alt the lowest pos
sihlo figure and ihiw with rock bottom reached on the tractor
price a further reduction in price on either tho Car, Truck or
Tractor is out of the question; in fa.-t, the big price cuts have
been made in anticipation of continuous maximum production
and increases may be necessary before long if a large volume of
new business is not obtained. Therefore, present prices of Ford
products cannot be guaranteed against possible increases."
Ask for the book "The Fordson at 'Work," which Will be
supplied free of cost. Ijct us demonstrate the value of tho Ford--oii
