SEVEM NEW FORDS
Homer L. Johnson and L. A. Denny
the Ford dealers brought in seven
new cars from Clayton first of the
week. They had them unloaded and
assembled at Clayton and drove out
from there. They have had trouble
getting enough cars to fill orders for
sometime and were glad to get this
shipment. Unless the demand for
Fords keeps insistent they will not
make so large order again until in
the spring, so wish those who want
new Fords would make it known now
.viiile they have cars to fill orders
promptly.
