Announcement.
Mr. Edsel B, Ford, president of the Ford Motor Com
pany, gives out the following statement:
“Another reduction has been made in the list price of
all types of Ford cars and the Ford truck to take effect
immediately. The list prices, f. o. b. Detroit, are now
as follow. :
TOURING CAR $415.00
RUNAOUT 370.00
COUPE 695.00
SEDAN 760.00
CHASSIS 345.00
TRUCK CHASSIS 495.00
TRACTOR 625.00
“The big reductions last fall were in anticipation of
low material costs which we are now getting the benefit
of, and this fact together with increased manufacturing
efficiency and the unprecedented demand for Ford cars,
particularly during the past three months permitting
maximum production, have made another price reduction
possible immediately. '
“Ford business for April and May 1921 was greater
by 56,633 cars and trucks than for the same two months
in 1920; in fact, the demand has been even greater than
the supply, so that our output has been limited, not by
unfilled orders but by manufacturing facilities.
“During May we produced 101,424 Ford cars and trucks
for sale in the United States alone—the biggest month in
the history of our company—and our factories and assem
bly plants are now working on a 4000 car daily schedule
for June.
‘ The Fordson Tractor* is still being sold at less than
the cost to produce on account of the recent big price re
ductions, and it is impossible, therefore, to make any
further cut in the price of the tractor. .
Can you afford to go without a car any longer when
Fords are selling at these new low prices? There is no
reason nowjwhy ycu should delay purchasing a Ford car,
Ford truck, or Fordson tractor.
We will gladly advise you concerning the delivery of a
Fordson tractor or the particular type of car in which
you are interested- Just ’phone us or drop us a card.

Cumming, Ga.

LEARN A TRADE.
The value of learning a trade becomes more and more ap
parent every day. Scarcely a week passes but some young
man is asking us to point out a field of labor for him. With
good attainments, perhaps, or an ’insatiable desire to be at
something whereby an honest penny may be turned, he finds
himself landed, as it were, at the first ebb of the tide. The
slightest recession of the waters deposits him on the shore a
mong the weeds of idleness, and unwholesome vapors be
cloud his mind. There is scarcely a man in business but has
an experience like our own ; his young friends continually
envying him the privilege of working in a well defined lield,
and wishing that, like him, they had something to strike at.
These young men are generally afflicted with the disease
of ambition. They want to be something more than com
mon, and mistaking often their desires for ability to satisfy
them, they flatter themselves that they are fit lor something
better than the common run of humanity. Their great fault
is in trying to achieve manhood without serving an appren
ticeship to it, and they find themselves, when they should be
prepared for their lifework, wondering what it will be, and
fretting because it does not declare itself, and in nine cases
out often waiting in vain for such a call, they go into poli
tics, agencies, etc.
The great remedy for all this is a trade thoroughly learn
ed. The time between school and twenty one should be spent
at the carpenter’s bench, in a machine shop or at an anvil,
so that when the young man commences his battle with life
in any vocation he can, if worsted at his first attempt, turn
to his trade with confidence that his skilled labor will at lea§t
procure him a living, and perhaps a competence. Tjme frit
tered away in tpying to discover desirable roads to success,
foots up a considerable total on the loss side of the balance
sheet. '. -
ETERNAL DISH WASHING.
We may in this item be repeating to our lady readers a
tiresome truth, tut it. will show them at least one editor ap
preciates tlpeir real condition in life. The quiet fidelity with
which “she” will dish wash her life away lor “him” is a
marvel of endurance and grace. Just heie is the servitude of
woman the greatest. No sooner is h®r work done than it
requires to be done again. Man works up jobs, ends them
and takes his pay. This’pay can be translated into something
else desirable. A mail works all day and draws pay for hls
day’s work. This pay allures him, as oats ahorse, home
ward bound. Thus men work by terms and jobs. We men
go heartily on our journey and count our milestones. Not so
with our mate, if we are so fortunate as to have one. She
mends our socks, and we put our irrepressible toe upon the
darned spot and she darns it again. “She” washes for the
family, and the family makes haste to send back the same
garments to be washed again. “She” puts the room in order
and we get it ready to be “rid up” again. The same socks,
the same washing, the same room every time. She has no
successive jobs, no terms, no pay day, no tally stick of life.
She washes the same dishes three hundred and sixty-five—
yes, three times three hundred and sixty five times every
year. No wonder she breaks it and is glad of it. What a
relief it must be when she car. say “I have done with that
dish.”
Someone once made the remark that experience is a book
which all of us write but which no one ever reads. There is
a great deal of food of thought in that little remark. If we
could only read the experiences of others and profit by them
how much trouble and pain would be saved for us. Hut each
one must experiment for himself and write his own little
book. If all these books could be collected we would proba
bly find thousands of duplicates of nearly every experience
known to man. Yet we all plunge wildly on, the wise as well
as the foolish, each one blindly thinking that he will find with
in himself the means of averting disaster. It sometimes seems
like a blind, hopeless muddle, yet trouble, pain and sorrow
are wonderful refiners of human thought and actions. Frob
j ably in this they are serving their purpose for the advance
! ment of the human cause.
