Naturally; ; nothing . like, tMe

of aircraft;, but the process of
manufacture, even,' ia It present

at a; somewhat .slower , rate. Jigs

"We're making - records here
one day, only, to break them the
next.' said F. H. Hull, Portland
Ford branch manager. "We "used
to think we had done a full day's
work when ' we turned out 75
cars, . but the demand 7 for Ford
cars has been, so strong that we
found j this! number entirely In-
sufficent. There. was only, one an
swer to the) problem and that was
build more cars, and; this we pro
ceeded to do. . Our first step was
put more men t'o work, until now
we have ai force of colse to' 500
men employed." .
rOn4 Saturday. October 17th.
... ... '
we turned but 103 Ford cars and
trucks, the! greatest, number ever
built : by .this branch.- Qut the
gate they .went almost as fast as
they came 'off the line, and with
in a few minutes after, the as
semblers had . quit "work the last
of, the day's production was in
the hands j-of a dealer for deliv
ery. Since that time our produc
tion, has been close to 100 a day,
and before, the .month is over we
will, have sssembled approximate
ly; 200' cars i and- trucks.' 4 ;1 5
' "Conditions' as they affect ns
have ; never - been better, and ws
