by safe guarding your tuture and the wel fare of those you love h o klinck district manager many of our citizens are familiar with the beautiful rustic scenery around the gravel hill north of town on the 10th concession in fact it has been a popular place for small picnic parties for many years long before the advent of motor cars but time is fast changing all this before the winter is over the beautiful bush known as the norris property at the peak of the hill will be nothing more than a barren piece of waste land at the present time it is alive with men and teams engaged in cutting hauling skidding and sawing wood or lumber ideal weather conditions is advancing the work fast and when all of any value is finally removed the brush will be burned and the scenery thus changed in a manner that will bring regrets to lovers of that old spot thirty men are en gaged in the work by mr chapman the lumberman who bought the bush a large dining room and kit chen of a temporary nature are

a w scott the grocer the world loves a come back a review of a year of the new ford the world loves a comeback whether it is in the prize ring or in the automobile business there were the scoffers men who have been familiar with the automobile industry for many years who declared that never again would the ford motor co lead in sales but they were wrong ford came back sweeping back into first place on an avalanche of orders something that the indus try had never seen the like before in fact one manufacturer was swept clean out of the four cylinder field where they had enjoyed increasing business for many years why did they abanddji this field only time will tell getting off to a slow start the first of the year the ford motor company production swung along steadily until the end of 1928 outputs reached familiar figures close to seven thou sand cars daily but the output as everyone knows was not at all suffici ent to meet the business which had piled up and evqn today in the middle of the winter when the demand in the entire automotive industry is at low ebb dealers cannot get enough automobiles ford built more than 750000 automobiles during the year in which he was getting into activity with a new car and it might be appropriately said to use a hackneyed phrase they were only a drop in a bucket of orders from little or no production on an entirely new automobile at the start of 1928 to an output of seven thousand cars daily is not a record to be taken lightly the calamity howlers were with us during the past year but their howling failed to mater ialize in any shape or form there were those who passed by the wayside who failed to have confidence but the prosperous periods ahead will go to those who most richly deserve them today the model a as it comes from the assembly factory to the dealer is bringing with it no servicing griefs it is a question of getting the largest volume of orders and making the deliveries the car is virtually perfect in a mechanical sense the year 1928 will be known in the automotive industry as the year in which ford came back despite the howls of the competitors and the new year will once again firmly establish his leadership
