He also stated that the Manchester plant was now making 84 per cent, of all the parts .going into Ford cars and lorries hi England, and would soon make 90 per cent. The company was selling 40,000 to 50,000 cars a year in England, and the number seemed Hkefy to increase. The best future market he said, was China. Motor-cars 'would develop_ China quicker than laihvays or missionaries.'' That tickling, irritating cough can be promptly relieved by a few drops of "NAZOL" taken on lump sugar.
