The Fords Tell Th eir pi ans
for 1939
IF WE KNEW anything better we could do for
the country than make good motor cars, we
would do it.
By every one doing his best in the job he
thinks most useful, this country is going to regain
its momentum. We have tried to do our best in
our job.
When business was suddenly halted in its recov
ery more than a year ago, we determined that we
should keep going anyway, if not at full-volume
motor car production, then at getting ready for
greater motor car values that would help future
production.
EXPANDING FOR THE FUTURE
We began to build 34 million dollars’ worth of
new plants and equipment. We felt that if we
could not employ all our men building motor cars,
we would employ as many as we could building
better production facilities.
We were told, of course, that this was no time
for expansion, that a wiser business policy would
be to "hold everything”—which means, stop
everything. But no one ever got anywhere
standing still.
Besides, we are not defeatists. We do not believe
this country has seen its best days. We believe this
country is yet in the infancy of its growth. We be
lieve that every atom of faith invested in our
Country and our People will be amply justified by
the future. We believe America is just beginning.
Never yet have our People seen real Prosperity.
Never yet have we seen adequate Production.
But we shall see it! That is the assurance in
which we have built.
Business is not just coming back. It will have
to be brought back. That is now becoming well
understood in this country; for that reason 1939
will be a co-operative year. Manufacturers, sellers
and buyers will co-operate to bring back the busi
ness that is waiting to be brought back.
This construction program is almost completed.
It has increased activity and payrolls in a number
of related industries. It has given us better facil
ities for building better cars and trucks, and
eventually our new tractor which is being perfected.
THIS MEANS MORE VALUE
The current program has provided anew tire
plant, which will turn out a part of our tire require
ments ... anew tool and die plant that will help
us cut the cost of dies . . . and a steel-press plant
that will enable us to make more of our own auto
mobile bodies. These are in addition to the plants
we already had for producing glass, iron, steel,
plastics, and many other things.
We don’t supply all our own needs, of course,
and never expect to. The Ford engine is one thing

THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
Henry and Edsel lord, on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of the founding of the Ford Motor Company, June 16, J 938
that no one’s hand touches but ours. Of nearly
everything else we use we build some quantity
ourselves, to find, if possible, better and more
economical ways of doing it. The experience
and knowledge we gain are freely shared with our
suppliers, and with other industries.
We take no profit on anything we make for
ourselves and sell to ourselves. Every operation,
from the Ford ships which first bring iron ore to
the Rouge, is figured at accurate cost. The only
profit is on the finished result the car or truck
as it comes off the line. Some years, there is no
profit for us. But we see to it that our customers
always profit. A basic article of our business creed
is that no sale is economically constructive unless it
profits the buyer as much as or more than the seller.
Our new plants have helped us build more
value into all our cars for 1939. That means
more profit on the purchase to the purchaser.
We have not cut quality to reduce costs.
We simply will not build anything inferior.
NEW TESTING EQUIPMENT
While we were putting up new plants to produce
cars, we constructed new equipment to test them.
The first weather tunnel of its kind ever built for
automobile research went into operation at our
laboratories this year.

It makes any kind of weather to order. The
weather it delivers every day would take months
to find in Nature. Our cars are weather-tested to
give you good service in any climate anywhere.
In other tests, every part of the car is pun
ished unmercifully. Then our engineers tear it
down to see if they can find abnormal wear or
any sign of weakness.
The money we spend on tests saves you money
on repairs. And your family car is safer and more
dependable when we put it in your hands.
THE NEW CARS
We have two new Ford cars for 1939 —better cars
and better looking—but we also have an entirely
new car.
It’s called the Mercury 8. It fits into our line
between the De Luxe Ford and the Lincoln-
Zephyr. It is larger than the Ford, with 116-inch
wheelbase, hydraulic brakes, and anew 95-horse
power V-type 8-cylinder engine.
We know that our 1939 cars are cars of good
quality. We think they’re fine values in their
price classes.
With new cars, new plants, new equipment, the
whole Ford organization is geared to go forward.

Storing Nut Kernel*
This is the time of year to think
about storing nut kernels.
To prevent nut kernels from be
coming rancid, it is best to keep
them in an airtight container in a
cool, dry place away from light.
The container will also protect
nuts from insects. The flavor of
nuts is largely dependent on the
oils they contain, although in some
kinds of nuts there are also spccfic
flavoring substances.
In most nut kernels, the oils readi
ly become ranc’d, and give the dis
agreeable flavor found in so-called
stale nuts. The vacuum-packed
containers in which nuts are often
put up commercially help to prevent
rancidity.
Kernels of nuts gathered at home
can be packed in jars from which
the air is exhausted in a boiling
water hath, as in canning fruits.
Select well-developed, fresh nut
kernels, free from bits of shell.
Sterilize half-pint or pint jars and
allow them to dry. Fill with the
nuts and partially seal.
Then place in a hot water bath
that comes up about two inches on
the side of the jars and let them re
main in it while the water boils for
30 minutes. After this is done,
complete the sealing and store in a
cool, dark place.

Keeping Dahlia Root*
And now a word to flower lovers.
Perhaps the most difficult part of
dahlia culture comes at this time of
year when the dormant roots must
be stored.
Very shortly after the tops of the
dahlias are killed by frost, it is ad
visable to cut off the tops three or
four inches above the ground. Then,
after a few days, lift the root clump
from the soil, being careful not to
break the "necks” by which the
tubers are attached to the stem.
The roots should be allowed to
dry in the air for a few hours and
then stored, stem end downward, in
a frost-free cellar that is not too
dry. This seems simple enough, but
only experience can make one sure
of the result. If the cellar is too
warm or dry, which is a common
difficulty, the roots should be stored
in the coolest part, in peat moss, dry
sand, or pine sawdust, covering to a
depth of two inches.
Care must be taken that the stor
age material is perfectly dry, as
otherwise some roots will rot and
damage the entire mass. Decay
starts in wounds caused in digging.
Scratches or bruises should be treat
ed with a solution of bluestone at
the rate of one ounce of bluestone
to six quarts of water.
In the spring as soon as the dor
mant eyes start to sprout, the indi
vidual tubers are separated, leaving
an eye or sprout with each tuber.
Do not break the roots apart, but
cut the stems lengthwise, being care
ful not to injure the buds. These
can be planted as soon as all danger
of frost is past.

Next Tuesday’s Election
Democratic and Republican head
quarters are rushing their star ora
tors north, east and west for a rous
ing finish to the congressional
election campaign.
On next Tuesday millions of vot
ers will choose thirty-five senators
and 432 House members and the
closing rallies will have as much red
fire and pointing-with-pride as all
the political gatherings of the pre
vious month.
Only in the south, where few
democrats have opposition, are the
public platforms fairly free of can
didates.
The climax of the Democratic
campaign will take place next Fri
day night, when President Roose
velt will deliver a radio speech from
Hyde Park, N. Y. His address is ex
pected to be primarily in behalf of
the New York Democratic ticket,
although many politicians believe he
will make his theme sufficiently gen
eral to interest voters in all states.
Six prisoners escaped the Colquitt
county jail Friday night by fashion
ing a key from metal taken from
one of the cots. They opened all
cells, but 12 of the prisoners re
fused to leave, and one of these
went across the street and telephon
ed the police.
