oo iooo tl -pnC#^u 'Ju' iHR the past twelve months. On Sept-
"iTio i ii f P«i^er° i16 touring car was reduced from $575
to $440, June 7th to $41o, and now to $385, making total reductions in
tins type of $220, or 88 per cent. The same proportionate reductions have
been made in all other types. One year ago the price of the Ford sedan
was $975; today it lists at $600 with the same equipment.
"YVe are taking advantage of every known economy in the manufac-
ture of our products in order that we may give them to the public at the
lowest possible price, and by doing that, we feel that we are doing the
one big thing that will help this country into more prosperous times. Peo-
ple are interested in prices, and are buying when prices are right.
"The production of Ford cars and trucks for August again broke all
previous high records with the total reaching 117,696. This's the fourth
consecutive month in which our output has gone over the hundred thou-
sand mark, the total for the four months being 463,071. which has gone a
long way in mak'ntr possible the present reductions. June this year, with
•m output of 117,247 was the previous record nuonth.
"One noteworthy feature of our sales is the increased demand for
l ord trucks and cars for salesmen. This class of commercial bus'ness has
been gradually increasing the past sixty days and we interpret it as a very
good sign of improvement in general business.
"No reduction has been made in the price of the Fordson tractor nnd
none is contemplated."
Go over these new prices! See how little it costs to become the owner
of a Ford car or Ford truck. Can you really afford to do without one any
longer;
Ret us tell you more about it. and advise you regard ng the delivery
of the particular type of car, in which you are interested.

It may be a little thing, but
(lie uiiole country must approve!
1 lie action of President Harding
a I; dinner at an Atlantic City I
hotel yesterday, when he direct-J
-d ihe management to remove,
solid gold service from his j
tnl 'le.
"Take those away and bring
ivgular dishes," said the Presi-
dent. And the solid gold service j
was removed and the regular
dishes were brought.
It is good for the country
that a little ^incident like this
should occur and that it should
be reported to the people thru I
the newspapers. It is good also
that the people should feel in-
stant approval of the act of
== the President in reading it. Sucn
=; snobbery is passing away in the
Si world, in spite of its great in-
= |crease in wealth, and certainly
EE it should not h> itvived in of-
== ficial circles in America "Regu-
~ [ lar dishes'* are more useful and
S | better suited for d'ning than j
-j:' dishes of gold. The only dif-1
ferenca in favor of gold is that I
S|it costs more. In every other re-1
EE spect 'regular dishes" are sup-
== erior. It was a fitting rebuke I
as to that idea that a thing must i
— be I >etter because it costs more.,
~ And besides folks who have 1
— known Warren Harding all their
== lives will probably tell you that
the President would not have;
had h:s dinner in comfort if he |
had been compelled to use the

Mrs. Charlotte Gustafson, 29,
the estranged wife of Charles

In Ruh's pocket were found

attentions shown Mrs. Gustaf-I

bers of the Relle Claire Athletic
