HUGE UNDERTAKING
THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY MILLION DOLLARS TO PRODUCE NEW MODEL Received April 22. 8.30 p.m. (A. & N.Z.) NEW YORK. April 21. It is reported it cost the Ford Motor Company 100,000,000 dollars to put the new model A into production. This loss is attributed to the discounting altogether of the production of model T, and is a puzzle to many observers. It is stated that probably no other factory in the industry could have absorbed such a loss as comfortably as the Ford Company apparently has.
