THE FORD CAR.

. We regret having inserted in our paper on January 29th and 31st and February Ist and 2nd, 1916, an advertisment, without giving the name of the advertiser, 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., hare been extremely patriotic'. The following is a copy of a cable received by the principal N.j?. 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 prganisation, financed Canadian money, nsins; Canadian material,' and employing directly and indirectly 3500 Canadian citizens'. Mr Ford owns only 2J5 per cent, our 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 OAMARU MAIL COMPANY, LIMITED. 271HOW OUR CHECKED BAGGAGE SYSTEM IS WORKED.
