son tractors. Ford agents usually
sell nothing else; they are busy
enough with that one line, which
tops the whole world for a single
line of manufactured product.
It actually does "take you
there and bring you back." Not
so very long ago, a dozen years
to be exact, a fleet of cars started
for the first transcontinental run.
AlmoBt every self-respecting car
in America was represented.
Some of them were worth close to
$10,000 apiece. Cars were not
then what they are today; roads
were not one-tenth as good. The
tourist took his life in his hands
in a thousand awful stretches of
quagmire, boulders, dust, mud,
sand, humps and nerve-racking
impassibilities. Many said they'd
never get through.
But they did the two Fords.
Two of them trailed the whole
weary way; only on 9 other car,
that cost five times as much, ever
rode the whole way. It was a
great feat for any kind of a trav
eler horse, footman, bicycle, ox
team, anything; it made the Ford
reputation in an instant.
The Valley Motor company sells
Fords, it talks Fords; it dreams
Fords; a Ford engine tltat never
tires must be the driving power
in every Valley Motor breast.
Their running gears and transmis
sions are of everlastiog Ford
parts; their whole life is wrapped
up in the Ford car and tractor,
and the things that necessarily
go with the machines.

every line of Ford or Fordson re
pairs. The parts and supplies ds
partmcnt is almost a wholesale
store; they have had up to $25,
000 in Ford parts, and almost half
as many Fordson supplies at a
time enough to build many cars
and tractors from the spare
pieces. Everything is carried in
stock frames, engines, wheels,
down to the tiniest screw In the
whole ensemble.
The repair and service depart
ment is at least as interesting as
the new car branch. Tha older
company had a good shop, that
had i,ri)wn from nothing at ail
into a very complete Kurd garage.
Hut in figuring out the cost of
making repairs, it was found that
u rearrangement hiis-ht mean bet
ter seiAk-e and lower costs with
out even reducing wag.'s. For
instance, the parts department
fronts (in High sired, while the
repair shop was on Church street,
alr.ioit 300 feet ; from supply to
job. A workiuaa who had to to
in for a spare part had to travel
COO fe t, or almost one-eighth of
a mile; .".0 or f.00 trips a day j
nifi:int the loss of a vast deal of
valuable time. The old battery
and radiator shop was upstairs,
near the Church j street entrance;
it took three men to handle it by
tha circuitous route then in vogue.
A Ford KxiHTt's Advice.
A Ford expert came down to
look over the shoo. "Too far
apart," was his- verdict. "You j
waste too many thousand mile3 of
travel. Bring vour hop up to i
your storeroom, anfT you'll see an
almost unbelievable difference.
And put that battery shop where
it belongs, so that one man can
run it instead of the present
three. That's Ford service to
cut the wasteful production cost3
down to the absolute essentials."
They followed his routings, and
it worked like a charm. Thy
were soon able to do- as the Ford
general company demanded cut
the cost of repair and shop work
20 per cent. The Ford company
lowered the old war prices on
repair parts, almost as much, so
that' now the Ford user can buy
his service as he ought to buy it
without a single frul for in
effectiveness or overcnarge for
unnecessary walking. j
(T;icI Car l)eman;I
Some curious facts are develop
ing In the car business. One of
these is the growth of thej closed
car demand. For years, the Ford
factory fought shy of the notion
not even the Ford genius is infalli
ble. But lour years ago, the de-
vs
Ford, closed bodies have been pu( i
out on a price scale even lowet ;
than the comparative prices oV
chassis as between Fords and oth
er cars; so the Ford shut-ins have
made an especial gain. Where a
Ford closed body sells for an ad!
vance of only about $200 above;
the open models, most competitor!!
make from $600 to $1000 differ.'
ence jfor the closed models; and;
so the Ford car has not only main
tained, but increased. Its nunierl- '
cal preponderance. j
The Ford Starter ; j
The Ford company experiment

fair, to become almost as rare a?
the 4 2-inch-wheeled cars of If
years ago. So great, indeed, is the
demand for closed cars, that the
factory itself has hardly yet ad
justed itself to the change, and e
closed-ear buyer sometimes has to
wait for his order to be filled. The
effective as the car Itself; the
starter Idea Itself was not at firBt
a prjme favorite, in the Detroit
factory. But when they did get a
good starter, it took like the small
pox. When The Statesman writer
asked the difference In price be
tween the plain and the starter
models, the Valley Motor sales ex
pert scratched his head and said:
"Honestly, I don't know; we aell
