Daly, local Ford dealer. The finish- ing touches are being applied both inside and outside, for Mr. Daly has been notified by the Ford Motor Co. of Canada, that the first of the new Ford cars will arrive in Seaforth, Dec. 2.1st. Speaking of the Company's notific- ation Mr. Daly said, "We've waited a long time for this day. Since the cars were first put on display in the larger cities, interest in this latest Ford achievement has tremendously increased, and we have been kept busy answering the many questions of our local residents and handing out de- tails and specifications. "We are holding open house Wed- nesday, Dec. '21st, when we will have on display a Tudor model, and we look forward to the pleasure of an inspection by everyone in this dis- triItcnormation from cities where the ear has • been on display justifies Mr. Daly's expectation. The resid- ents ni Seaforth as much as in any other city or town are interested in the new Ford car, and won't miss this first local showing. "Our main problem right now," says Mr. Daly, "is the securing of sufficient cars to meet local demand. The Ford factory at Ford, Ont., is rushing production and cars will be coming off the line at a record speed to rateb up with the thousands of or- ders received. However, we have in- stituted the policy of filling orders in rotation, and will soon he making de- liveries o those whose orders are in our hands." For the present' Mr. Daly expects to show one or two models. This showing will soon be increased to include six passenger models and entirely new ton and a half truck and light delivery' models powered with the new motor. Within a short time he expects that the Ford factory at Ford, Ont„ will be finally tooled up f,,r production on a larger scale than ever, and that orders now on hand will be quickly filled.
