Fordson tractors aid Roumania postwar rebuilding
A Bucharest report to Ford indicates 200 Ford cars and 180 Fordson tractors arrived, marking a key postwar shipment. The Fordson auto tractor, new to Roumania, impressed farmers with its efficiency after work animals were destroyed, and most stock has been sold as demand grows. Cars sold quickly, with a second shipment and reserved units awaited. Additional machinery from Oliver Plow Works and others accompanied the tractors. Separately, Pasadena women pledge a citywide potato price boycott to push prices down, with the Civic League likely to follow.
