' Many people ask what it cost to run an automo-;
f bile. We reproduce herewith a letter from Mr. .W.' B.
i Bach, which shows his total expense for a run of
; 8500, miles, Mr. Bach has kept an acurate account of
j; every item of expense and the figures in his letter
' are all taken from his books. The item for which he
! mentions tires are for extra inner tubes, as the tires '
on Mr. Bach's machine, as well as, all tires on" all
Fords sold during the season 1909, are the tires that '
1 were on the car at the" time it left the factory:

Did you know that placing your re
liance up a warranty deed Is simply
bidding for a lawsuit! -
! In California this fact is so well

If the title' is good it passes with

A warranty is only a sort of bet
a wager that you will have no trou
