FINE MAN DIES,—Robert Mitchell's
death on Thm•sduy, May 18, removes
one of Mclesworth's prominent figni es
and one of the vicinity's oldest pion
sere. At the funeral on Saturday one
looked around lit vain for the faces of
the early pioneer days. The old 11100
of Molesworth and vicinity will soon
be the men of another generation.
The most striking fipure, now or
Molesworth, is Mrs, Rnbert Elliott, in
here 93rd year. The Mitchell families,
Andrew and John, came to Moles-
worth in the early fifties. The late
John Mitchell, father of Robert, de-
ceased, and Charles, who lives at
Molesworth and who is known far and
wide for his famous honey, came from
Priceville, near Prescott. Besides
clearing the land they built a saw mill
on the homestead and started a store. 1

Price Before the War $650
Price After a Year of War $530
Why Are We Proud To Advertise This?
On the very day that war was declared the
price of the Canadian Ford car was reduced $60.
But don't mistake the reason for this reduc-
tion. It was made in spite of the war—not
because of it.
requires
To understand this reason properly 1111
es
re q
a knowledge of how prices of .Ford cars are
decided upon.
These prices are based on the estimated pro-
duction for the coming year—never on the
profits earned the preceding year.
For instance, some time before August 1,1914
the Ford Canadian executives decided that the
demand for Ford cars for the fiscal year starting
Aug. lst., would be about 30,000 cars. With
this production it would be possible to reduce
the price $60.
So an announcement was made to the public
at large that the prices of Ford cars would be
$60 less for the coming year.
It must be admitted that this was a remark-
ably sincere and substantial expression of faith
in the prosperity of Canada and the Empire that
prompted this Canadian firm to stake their
entire business, on the continued prosperity
of their country.
Yet the Ford Canadian executives did not
allow the war to interfere with their plans in
the slightest degree. They considered the pros-
perity of Canada and the victory of the allied
cause as assured.
This was emphasized a second time last
August when the prices of Ford cars were again
reduced by $60.
Profitably to manufacture the Ford Canadian
car at this lowered price requires a production
of 40,000 ears during the year ending Aug. 1, 1916.
To quote from General Manager McGregor's
own statement:
"If this company is able to manufacture and
sell 40,000 cars between August 1, 1916 and
August 1,1916,we know that our at o r buying
capacity, the production efficiency P Y,
c enc. of our menu-
Y
facturin g plant, and the' distribution P i,
d strlbution of over-
head expense over a volume of this size will
enable us to reduce our prices $60 per car and
still make a reasonable profit for the company
on this volume."
r"If we are only able to manufacture and sell
20,000 cars, the reduction of $60 per car would
not be warranted and this company would be
operating at a loss. It is the profit on the
P g P
additional 20,000 cars which makes the price
reduction of $60 possible."
Although to build 40,000 cars means doub-
ling last year's business, the Ford executives
firmly believe that prosperity in Canada will be
of such proportions this year as to create a
demand for frilly this much increased business.
And the sales to date and the prospects for the
next few months prove that they are correct in
their belief.
Moreover, this action becomes increasingly
significant when the advance in price of raw
materials is taken into consideration. At least
one automobile manufacturer has been obliged
to increase the price of his car on this account.
And the Ford Company again have an added
burden in the increased duty on the few raw
materials that they are obliged to buy in the
United. States. But all of these increases have
been absorbed into manufacturing costs by the
Ford Company as part of its obligations and its
duty in times such as these.

this tremendous struggle that is now demanding
so much from her manhood and from the faith
and support of
her people.
