The Ford a great utility because it serves
all the people. The popular choice, because
it gives better service at a lower cost.
Popular again, because it is simple and
easily understood by everybody. And with
all the refinements, it is still the same de
pendable Ford, and sells for $60 less than
last year besides the plan of sharing
profits with the buyers.
Buyers will share in profits if we sell at re
