Detroit, effective Aug. 2, 1915; Ford Runabout $390.00 Ford Touring Car 440.00 Ford Town Car 640.00 Xo 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 Aug. 1, 1916. PROFIT-SHARING WITH RETAIL BUYERS On August 1, 1914 we made the announcement that if we could l lake 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 $60 on each car. We have sold over 300,000 Ford cars in the time specified, and profit-sharing checks of $50 each will be distributed as rapidly ns possible after August 15, 1915. Retail purchasers who haye 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. by a certain class of republi can leaders.

Such attacks constitute a line of action that will not be countenanced by the rank and file of republicans. The mass of republican voters do not wish their party used as an annex to the electric trust any more than do they approve of using the party to tighten the cinch of the shipping mono poly to the end the producers of the nation may be robbed of their logical profits. If the so-called leadership of the republican party insists on using the party machinery to obstruct the sane and just constructive measures of the present administration they will bring about a state of af fairs wherein the average re publican voter will be com pelled in self defense to vote for a continuance of democrat ic rule.
