THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Our year begins on August Ist of each year and ends
on July 31st of the next year.
Last year we sold 93 Ford Cars. Our estimate was 114
%
Ford Cars.
Our estimate this year is only 96 Ford Cars. We never
get over 90 per cent of our estimate. We have already
sold and delivered 12 Ford cars on new estimate.
We would have sold 50 more cars last year could we
have gotten them, This year cars are scarcer than ev
er. The demand for cars is almost twice as great this
year as last.
You can see where f'this is leading us to! We may be
able to get cars this winter, but we must have the or
ders for same in advance.
Take warning and if you intend to buy a Ford car next
sunyner have it delivered this winter. This is no idle
talk. We want to sell them worse than you want to buy
them, and we know that if we don’t make our deliveries
between now and spring that we can’t get the cars and
will lose the sales.
Strickland & Wisdom,
Agents Forsyth and Dawson Counties.
Bring your Ford to Strickland
& Wisdom Garage when in need
of repair. Being Ford agents,
we are naturally interested in
your Eord, and by working on
Ford cars exclusively, can give
more and better service for less
money.—ad v.
