MAIN AT CENTRAL AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO OUR CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS We are happy to be able to tell you that the lawsuit brought more than four years ago against Ford Motor Company and Dearborn Motors Corporation by Harry Ferguson and Harry Ferguson, Inc. has been settled by agreement of the parties. There are three points connected with this settlement which, as a present or possible future owner of a Ford Tractor, we went to make clear to you.

By the end of 952, Ford Motor Company has agreed to make two simple changes, and only two changes, In the means of operation and control of a pump used in the hydraulic system in the Ford Tractor. After these simple changes have been made, there Is nothing in the settlement of the suit to prevent Ford Motor Company from continuing the manu facture of the present Ford Tractor for as long at It may choose. 2 Ford Motor Company will continue to produce) and Dearborn Motors Corporation, and our selves as dealer, will continue to supply all repair parts for all past, present and future Ford Tractors. 3 For J Tractors will continue to offer all the advantefti of the present system of hydraulic control, the present method of attaching and operating implements, and all other features re sponsible for their wide popularity.

A STATEMENT By Henry Ford II "In normal times Ford Motor Com pany would carry such a suit to a final conclusion in the courts . . . These are not normal times. Under the circumstances we were glad to get rid of the litigation to avoid the expense, harassment, and further interference with our tractor busi ness involved in additional years in the courts. "The settlement in no way Inter feres with Ford Motor Company's continuing to offer to the farmer the lowest priced tractor with hy draulic control and the present 4 method of attaching and operating Implements." It is i source of deep satisfaction to us to be in a position to debunk conclusively and finally in this way the assertions that have been made and the propaganda that has been spread over the past four years.
