How the Fords Are Going.

Some interesting sales figures are shown in the report just made by the Ford Motor Company. During the months of August, September, October and; November last were 9,700 motor cam sold in California. Of these, 4,936—0 r more than half—were Ford ears. Reports from other distriete are interesting, showing the large proportionate increase of Ford sales in those districts. For example—in Kaufman county, Texas, from October, 1913, to October, 1914, 81 motor cars were sold. Of these 46 were Fords. C. R. livingston Ford dealer in McCook, Nebr., reports that in October, 1913, he sold 6 Ford cars; in November 7 Ford Cars; and in December no cans. In October, 1914, he sold 22 Fords, in November 20, and in December, up to the 3rd, 3 Ford ears. This shows an Increase of about 300 per cent over sales for the corresponding period of last year. Reports from other sales territories show the same proportionate gain. The Ford Motor Company points out the logical conclusion that this enormous increase demonstrates the growing use of the Ford as a general economic utility.
