noting that whereas Ford's production
was 700,000 cars below his 1926 fig-
ure, his rivals were able to increase
their sales by only 200,000.

UNIQUE ANNOUNCEMENT

REVIGATOR
■ -< ,
I have taken over the agency for the Revigator
here and you can see it at any time at my Store.
Thus the whole industry feels the ef-
fect of the Ford shut'down.
s Such js Ford's power. Now for
another indication of it. ■
Nearly every business leader, in
[Detroit and elsewhere, looks for a
marked pick-up in industry about the
firHt tif the year,
. cause Ford will be in full_pro<luetion
,J again by that time. Detroit will be
prosperous again; the steel industry
will revive; railroads will find their
-shtpme^tB- mountUg
trial njachine will run faster and more
smoothly.
Ford's re-entry into the field, inci-
dentally, is going to mark a new era
in the automotive industry.
Until a few years ago it was ti-ue
that Fat-d had no competitors. He
concentrated on utility aind cheapness;

e Revigator is the most remarkable invention
of the day. WHY ?—Because of what it does for
humanity. Over 30,000 people now drinking
Radio-Active water from the Revigator in-Xexas,

even when his sales were dropping
alarmingly. Even last winter, when
it became obvious that something-
Would have to be done, he wanted to
keep the old model and make im-
provements; and it was, only wheii he
#ound -that it would cost him more
to make the necessary changes, than
letely new model
did he change his attitude.
The result is a radically new Ford.
It is said that dffly the "nuts and bolts
are in any Way similar to any of the
parts in the old car. Ford, having
made up his'mind to "the change, has
gone the whole way. .
For Ford is Ford-—and when h£*
moves the whole nation feels it.
