The Ford Motor Company makes this reduction in the face of the fact that they have on hand immediate orders for 146,065 cars and tractors. The company will suffer a temporary loss while using up the material bought at high prices. They are willing to make the sacrifice in order to bring business back to a going condition as quickly as possible and to maintain the momentum of the buying power of the country. Henry Ford says: “The war is over and it is time War Prices were over. There is no sense or wisdom in trying to mainiain an artifical standard of values." “For the best interests of all it is time a real practical effort was make to bring the busine of the country and the life of the country down to regular pre-war standards" We are at your command with the regular Sird Efficiency and eagerness to fill your orders.
