FORD MOTOR COMPANY
DOING ENORMOUS BUSINESS
f - ■ -
Boston, Aug. 26—Ford figures are
always interesting; never more so
than at tuTe present time. With $350,
000,000 cff war work on the books the
operati/ps of the great Detroit plant
take pn added importance. A special
investigator for the Boston News Bu
reau! thus reports on conditions ex
isting today:
T*e magnitude of the war work, ^
conjbined with the regular production
of automobiles, now under way, at
the mammoth Ford Motor Co. plant
in Highland Park, is almost unbe
lievable. Nevertheless, production is
being held up somewhat by the ever
present fear of a coal shortage.
At present there are 32,455 names
on the Ford Motor Highland Park
payrolls. This does not include 1,500
employed at the shipbuilding plant
and a like number at the blast fur
naces in River Rouge. By the rpiddle
of July the grand total should be 40,
000.
Ford automobiles are being pro
duced at the rate of about 1,600 daily.
The fiscal year of the company
ends July 31st. Output for the first
ten months and 24 days of the pe
riod totaled 651,191, which is at the
annual rate of approximately 710,000
cars.
Ford’s war orders are estimated at
from $350,000,000 up. They include
“Eagles,” destined to clear the seas
of U-boats; caissons; helmets by
the hundreds of thousands, ambu
lances, Liberty motors, 400,000 aero
plane cylinders, trucks and ‘‘tanks.”
The Ford “Eagles”, according to
Charles Brownell, publicity manager
for the company, are destined to be
rrvme one of the most imDOrtant fac
tors in defating Germany.
“We expect shortly to produce a
tank, which, to che world, will be
what the Ford automobile is to the |
automobile world,” said Mr. Brownell. |
“50,000 of them would help greatly to ’
settle the war, and they can be made i
as rapidly as we make cars—our car |
record being 3,866 a day.”
In a little six-chaired dark room at
the Ford plant the writer was priv- I
ileged to see the Ford tank in action j
—via the celluloid film route. The
little war instrument fox-trotted and
waltzed, stood on end, took ditches
like a thorough-bred steeple-chaser
and when they were too wide waded
them and crawled up the opposite
bank, walked through barbed-wire en
tangledments with no perceptible
halt, climbed to the top of a mountain
of coal, stood upright in a trench and
dug itself out and finally, in trying to
do 'the impossible act of climbing a
perpendicular embankment, fell over
on its back. A dozen men righted it
within half a minute none the worse
for its “accident.” What would 50,
000 of these “terriers” do on the
French battle front?
It is estimated that there are now
25,000 Ford ambulances doing war
duty “over there;” 3,469 of these
were equipped and shipped from here,
but it is thought that thousands of
Ford cars have been equipped by |
o^her governments and thousands j
have gone from the English plant. |
About 30,000 tractors have been
shipped from the River Rouge plant
to France, Belgium and England.
Trainloads of these farm workers are
going forward daily.
RED CROSS.
The Red Cross Canteen workers of
this city desire to cordially thank all
those who so Nkindly made donations
last week for this work. It was a
great help and much appreciated.
The purpose of the canteen worker
is to establish a personal link be
tween the civilians and soldiers to
show as nearly as possible that the
hearts of the people at home are with
the boys going to the front. It has
been said by army officers that the
canteen work does more to keep up
the morale of our army than any
other one thing. During the past few
weeks the workers have been untiring
in their efforts to serve the many
troop trains on which there have been
as many as 2,000 soldiers served in
one day.
II every one cuuiu see me appict.1
ation of these soldiers for the little
things that we are able to do for them
—just a stamped card to write a
message home, a smoke, a cold drink
or even a pleasant smile and word of
encouragement, then they would feel
as the canteen workers do, amply re
paid for anything they have done.
With the beginning of fall the can
teen workers’ life will be a busy one
and it is the duty of all citizens of
the town to co-operate with them in
every way so that this great work
may be carried out successfully and
uninterruptedly, for there is no satis
faction like that of knowing one has
been of service.

DRUM MOT WATER
IF TOO ©ES1HE A
ROSY COMPLEXEON
- f
Says we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an inside bath.
To look one’s best and feel one’s best
is to enjoy an inside bath each morn
ing to flush from the system the pre
vious day’s waste, spur fermentations
and poisonous toxins before it is ab
sorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when it burns, leaves behind a cer
tain amount of incombustible material
in the form of ashes, so the food and
drink taken each day leave in the ali
mentary organs a certain amount of
indigestible material, which if
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are in
tended to suck in only nourishment
to sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow of
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass of hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
it, which is a harmless means of wash
ings the waste material and toxins
lrom the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary tract,
before putting more food into the 3tom
*-* S3
Men and women with sallow' skins,
liver spots, pimples or pallid com
plexion, also those who wake up with
a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, others who are bothered with
headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach
or constipation should begin this phos
phated hot water drinking and are
assured of very pronounced results ill
one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos
phate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, purifies and freshens the
skin on the outside, so hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the inside
organs. We must always consider that
internal sanitation is vastly more im
portant than outside cleanliness, be
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.
“Dash, determination and daring—
also efficiency”—That’s what our
boys at the front are doing. Keep ’em
going! War Savings is a message to
the kaiser that will “get over.”
In asking the people to Invest In
War Savings and Thrift Stamps, the
government is not asking them to
*on a paying basis.
