SETS H E W RECORD
Word comes from Henry Ford's
tractor plant near Detroit, that Ford-
son production figures are jumping
monthly, and that nearly half of the
tractors now being manufactured in
this country are Fordsons.
When the motor-wizard began ex
perimenting with
tractors some
twelve years ago. he is credited with
having promised farmers a machine
that would make farming “ what ^t
ought to be— the most pleasant and
profitable profession in the world."
Deviating from old tractor beliefs
and manufacturing customs, he set
about building a light, mobile tract
or,— a tractor not especially, for use
on the big farms and ranches, but
so constructed that it would handle
the work on the smaller farms. The
principles of manufacturing and sell
ing which had brought the Ford car
to success are now applied to the
tractor. As a result nearly 150,000
Fordsons have gone into service; ap
