Your friends, FARMERS & MERCHANTS BANK, YOU’LL HAVE TO HURRY IF YOU WANT A FORD. Ford dealers of Georgia are a busy set of fellows these days. Never, perhaps, in the history of any automobile concern has there been evident such a de mand for motor cars. Recently the Ford dealers of Atlanta combined in adver tising campaign to show the buying public the necessity of placing their orders just as quickly as possible if they want ed deliveries within the next sixty or ninety days—maybe longer. It is stated by StrickJarrd ft! Wisdom the authorized Ford dealers in Cumming that though the Ford Motor Com pany has increased its produc tion largely, and is striving from day to day to still further its production, yet the company is far behind in its orders for this territory. Hardly a dealer can keep his Ford stock—cars and trucks in the house long enough to get a good look at them himself. On passenger cars this is particu larly true. There’s a big demand also for ton trucks. Some of the dealers are in position to de liver these quickly; some per haps cannot. To the purchaser who wants a ton truck these days, he had better hurry, or he may have to wait. Ford Sedans are growing in fatfor, too, declare the dealers. Some of them have a few on hand, but they will not guaran tee how long they will last, nor make a guess as to when they will have more. So there’s another quick move coming to the purchaser who might have a hankering for a Ford Sedan. Oh, you have to hurry, if you want anything with “John Henry’s” name on it. Notice. The old people are invited to come to Beaver Ruin church the 4th, Sunday afternoon and bring your Christian Harmony books and lets have some old time singing. Also bring your new books. Lets all have a chance. We want to meet at 1 and have our Sunday school and start singing at 2 p. m.. Everybody invited both old and young. Mules for Sale.

Now that the weather is clearing and the roads are dry ing, the farmers of Forsyth county will begin to make little journeys to Alpharetta to get their supply of Rucker cotton seen for planting purposes. The Rucker cotton is without doubt the best money maker in the cotton world. Every farm er who grew it in 1918 will grow his entire crop in it this year. While cutting their acreage farmers will plant the Rucker cotton so as to get the most bales of the best cotton on the fewest acres possible. The Rucker Cottonseed Com pany, of Alpharetta is the only concern that has the pure seed for sale. They thoroughly cull all the seed they sell. The seed are worth $4.00 a bushel, but Forsyth county farmers can get them for $3.50 by going to the warehouse af ter them and carrying their own sacks. MEN WITH RIG.
