During 1909 and 1910 the Ford output of model T cars was 30,454, of which approximately 20,000 were produced last year. They intend manufacturing and selling 30,000 during 1911 of the same tried and true Model, one to eyeiyfour of all other makes combined, using the above estimate of this country’s consumption. They shipped during February this year 3,014 cars They are now well behind on deliveries on all models and with the advance of spring will go farther behind. To the Wise who intend buying and driving new Fords this season will need but this one word as a protection on placing an early order.
