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.
