FORDSON TRACTORS AT COST

Seven of These Tractors Have Been Assigned to Jasper County. Henry Ford, who has gained a world-wide reputation through the manufacture of Ford automobiles and has lately brought out a farm tractor that has achieved great success, in order to partially make up the shortage in farm labor gave some 8,000 of these tractors to England and 10,000 to France at actual cost to him. On the same terms he has given 1,000 tractors to Michigan and 1,000 to Indiana, and seven of the machines are apportioned to Jasper County. They ■will be sold through the local agency, the Central Garage company, free of all commission and go to the purchaser at actual cost laid down to them. They will be ready for delivery here in about fifteen days.
