NEWLAND & SON Dodge Droibura Dutlers ROSEBURQ wfefisf Mi mmqL (My K. T. Strong, General Sales Manager liuick Motor Co.). The automobile came Into be iiLg cause there was a demand j for it. Alan nerdetf a new form jol transportation to ineet thecom- plexities of his advancing civili tzalion and the automobile proved to be the solution to this problem, j There was no need to create a market lr it. The market already existed and the automobile w as created to mipply the needs of that mtirket. 'J he automobile could not piny the vital part in the world's rfte that it does today if the demand for it had been artificially creat ed. If the demand for it had not e'.iHted, it would have been mere ly one more addition to the list of useless inventions that cluttur the patent ofiiees of the nation, lis brief appearance would have made hardly a ripple in the stream of advancing humanity. With sailing vessels Columbus discovered a new world and sail ing vesesls brought to It the lirsl j conquering armies and the lirst adventurous settler, iiut there was need for a still belter Dak with the old world from which had to be drawn so much of the material necessary to the develop ment of new countries. Accord ingly the steamboat was invented. White inventions such as the steamboat and the stearu engine meant much to the progress of nation .i, they did not have such a direct bearing on the individual. 'lie still found himself behind the J march of events, lie needed uet ! ter means of communication and j the telegraph was invented for I him. Still remained the need for ;a more personal means of com j muntcation and the telephone came into being. Nowhere was progress more essential than in the iield of per sonal transportation. Horse drawn vehicle proved inadequate to the demands of modern lite. 1 Railroads could not turn from their appointed course. Some-' thing more flexible and yet fully as dependable and Hpeedy was re- J ing parts in-stalled only by ser vice stations approved by the lac tory which builds their car. Few outsider are interested n what, you think of your car, or how long it will last, or whether you will ever buy another of the same make. They are chielly concern ed with the immediate profit. The long discount they gel on counter feit parts makes the business at tractive to them until they stop to realize what It may mean to the purchaser. 'The automobile manufacturer Is in the business of building au tomobiles. He makes 'party be cause they are a necessity and a convenience to his patrons. Hut he makes them as well as he knows how, because he realizes that it is absolptely necessary for him to have the car owner's good Mill if he is to remain in business. One or two defective minor parts, even though, not important In themselves, might easily cause an owner to condemn the car as a whole. Ths is what the manu facturer tries to avoid. That is why he builds his service parts with the sume conscientious care that is put into the building of the car itself." Over a period of years I "Probably the most important ! news in automobile circles during the last week," said C. A. Lock i wood, local Ford and Fordson (baler, "was the announcement '. that balloon tires are to be furnish M d as optional equipment on all , i.. pes of Ford cars "Tii s is probably the .greatest 'recognition givfn ba I loony since th-ir introduction on the market, and should prove an impetus to their popularity. j "The Ford Motor Company has ' long been interested in balloon tues and ha;j been carrying on ex periments with them for some , tune. Its decision to supply bal ! loons conies only after severe , t sis which, coupled with the good n-Milis obtained by Individual own-, eis, have proven these tires to bo thoroughly practical for Ford cars.

' The automobile is not bought because it is a beautiful piece of craltHinanship; or because1 it re presents ho much value in metal and appointments, but because it meets the need of the modern man for dependable, persou-il I transportation.

There are certain fundamental reasons why this is true. It is a car, properly designed and staunchly constructed, having a motor which has proved itself reliable, long-lived and economical It is adequately serviced by an organization reach ing to every community and neighborhood. These combine to give the Ford car the highest resale value in proportion to list price. And as production volume of the Ford has grown the purchase price has been steadily reduced. tfK DETROIT " Tudor Sedan 580 Runabout - $260 Touring Car - 290 Coupm - S20 Fordor Smdan - 660 On open car dctnountabb rinu and auitcr an $85 extra All prfcaa f. e. b.
