Such an undertaking could not be accomplished save by the aid of unlimited resources in money, men, material, and machines supported by the most modern methods of manufacture. Chevrolet motor cars are as truly the "products of experience" as the locomotive, the ocean liner, the skyscraper. Each has had its splendid growth from a small be ginning. Each' is today the expression of problems solved, principles proved, materi als standardized, and methods verified, through difficult years of which the public has known nothing. The Chevrolet, through and through, is of genuine steel, the best steel; genuine iron and bronze and brass; the best of each; and no less extensive organization than tie Chevrolet Motor Company could hope to duplicate it to sell for anywhere near the Chevrolet price. For a product of experience can be offered at the price within the reach of most people only when an organization has been completed whose buying, building, mar keting, and service-rendering powers can lower cost and maintain quality beyond the ability of any other organization in its field. And this the Chevrolet Motor Company has done. You will find more value visible and invisible in the Chevrolet "Four-Ninety" than in any other car at its price in America. The proof?

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1917. f in in DO YOU There are more than 1,750,000 Ford cars now in service. One-half of all the cars on American roads are Ford cars. The biggest shoe factory in the Unit ed States produces less than one-fortieth of the entire shoe product of this coun try. The greatest American flour mill turns out less than one-twentieth of the flour used by our people. The largest manufacturer of clothing in the United States does not make one tenth of the clothing required by the people of America. But the Ford factory build more than one-half of all the motor car used on thi continent. - This is a business condition absolutely without precedent or parallel anywhere. This would not be so, could not be so, if the Ford car had not proven, by all the tests that time and the greatest number and variety of uses and abusos can im pose, its superior worth. It has delivered to users what they demanded in a motor car. To sum it up, from any and every' angle, there is only one reason why the Ford car so far outsells all other cars: IT IS A BETTER CAR. Commonplace simplicity marks the greatness of the Ford. Simple in design anyone can quickly understand it. Simple in construction and every part a bulwark of strength. 1 Touring Car, in Pendleton $414.85 Roadster, in Pendleton $399.85 I ?.llllltllfltllllllllf IIIIIIIIIItltHltllllllllHttlttllllllllllllltlllllMIIIIIIIIIIIIItlHIIIIIIIIIItlllllllllllllMMIItllllllllllllllltllllllllllltltltltl 7s - vlllSy KrjOW?- Simple in operation anyone can op erate i. , Simple to maintain anyone can care for it. Light weight reduces the cost of up keep because it reduces the wear and tear on tires, by giving more miles per gallon of gasoline and by lessening the strain upon the car itself. Again, tires for Ford cars are comparatively ' inex pensive, because large size is not - re quired they give the maximum service because the car is light. The owners of Ford cars have the least troubles with tire and other expenses something worth thinking about in buying a motor car. By all counts the Ford is most econo mical. It costs less to operate than any other car. Individual experiences vary, according to the temperament of the per son who drives it, and theacohditions un der which it is 'maintained. Many of our owners drive their cars at a cost of less than two cents a mile and all agree that the Ford's cost of maintenance is lowest. And in the -matter of service Ford leads. Ford repairs are to be had in practically every town or city in the country. More than 9.000 Ford agents are required, under their contracts-with the company, to carry a complete assort ment of Ford repair parts. The dollar value of these agency parts stocks at the present time is considerably more than $12,000,000. You can never get very far away from Ford sen-ice. And you will find it quick, economical and courteous. miiiiiiiHn " " ocaoi PAGE THREE r. m r. 4 2 I
