THE FORD CAR.

We regret haying inserted in our paper on January 29th and 31st and February Ist and 2nd, 1916, an . advertisment, without giving the name of the advprtiser, concerning Ford Cars, which, contained an inaccurate statement, and which may have a damaging effect on the sale of Canadian-built Ford Motor Cars and on the business of F. R. Dennison and Co. We are assured that there is a Ford Motor Car Factory in Canada, situated at Ford, Ontario, Canada, and that F. R. Dennison and Co. sell this Company's products. We are convinced that the Ford Motor Co., of Canada, Ltd., its employees, etc,, have been extremely patriotic. The following is a. copy of a cable received •by the principal N/Z. Ford Agents at Wellington from the Ford Motor Co., of Canada: —"Mr Ford's statements do not reflect sentiment this Company. This is strictly a Canadian organisation, financed by- Canadian money, using Canadian material, and employing directly and indirectly 3500 Canadian citizens'. Mr Ford owns only 25 per cent, onr stock, majority stock held bv Canadian shareholders.- Our sympathies and resources aboslutely with Allies. Employees and officers of Canadian Ford Company have to date subscribed over 40,000 "dollars to British and Canadian Red Cross and Patriotic Funds. Over 400 our men now at. front, and their positions guaranteed unon rpturn." THE OAMARTT MAIL COMPANY. LIMITED. 271
