enclosed cars are gaining in popula* ^ ity, as 23 percent of the 1921 proI duction were Sedans ami Coupes au j against a total of 18 percent for the I year previous. | Recent reductions in Ford car and ! truck prices brought them to a new | low level.

Ford is giving employment at present to approximately 40,000 men in his main plant at Detroit, the importance of which is emphasized when consideration is given to the fact that nearly 20 percent of the city’s popul a tion is directly dependent upon the Ford Motor Company.” FORD MOTOR COMPANY Sales Department

BRAZIL CONCERT CO. AS ENTERTAINERS

(Brazil Times) The Brazil Concert Company is the name of a refined group of enter, tainers who have organized for the purpose of booking engagements for entertainments and will open their season with a concert at Cooks’s Opera House at Greencastle on February 9. The Harmony Quartette is the basis of the organization. These young men have held their organization together through several years and have made good in vaudeville on good circuits, but have home ties that keep them from following it regular ly. The quartette is one of the best in the country. It is composed of A. R. Morgan, first tenor; E. O. Lister, second tenor; C. C. Jones, bass and E. V. Morgan, baritone. In addition the quartette will have A. E. Daly, violinist and Hubert Turner, pianist; Mrs. Marion Grimes Campbell, soprano soloist under some of the best vocal teachers in America Miss Mary Christie, a reader of merit and A. R. Morgan, saxaphonist. The concert company puts on a program of songs, readings, imitations and comedy that is sure to please.

Retail sales of Ford cars, trucks and Fordson tractors have again exceeded the Million mark for the year 1921, according to a statement given out today by the Ford Motor Company. The Ford factory and assembly plant production figures reached a total of 1,050,740 cars, trucks and tractors for the year, with retail sales by dealers approximating 1,093,000, which in the United States alone surpased the 1920 retail sales record by 104, 213 Ford cars and trucks. The Ford Company says the outlook for 1922 is decidedly optomistic. In fact, concrete evidences already exist in that car and truck retail sal. es for December 1921, exceeded December 1920 sales by almost 25 per. cent, and Fordson tractor retail sales for the same periods show an increase of over 100 per cent for Decern her, 1921, as well as an increase over the total tractor sales for the month of November. These facts seem to indicate that not only are the farmers buying more freely, but that the general public is becoming more responsive and receptive. Another point brougtit out by a comparison of production figures for the past two years shows that Ford
