Profit-Sharing With Retail Buyers On August 1, 1914 we maaVthe announcement that if wP could make and sell at retail 300,000 Ford cars between August 1, 1914 and August 1, 1015 we would share profits with the retail purchasers, to the extent of from $40 to $G0 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 as possible after August 15, 1$15. Retail purchasers who have not yet mailed us their profit-sharing coupons, properly endorsed should do so without delay. Our plan 'to profit-share with retail purchasers Of Ford' cars during 1914-eo has teen most successful. We thor oughly believe in it, bat realizing the uncertainty of con ditions generally makes it advisable 'to defer any' an nouncement of future profit-sharing until a later dak. We are, however, confident of our inability to reduce costs for several months, and therefore can offer no profit sharing for cars deliverad during August, September and October, 1915.
