Try i ne-third of all Cars made in America in 1912 i Will be Fords - What a Valuable Message to the World That old, reliable 4-cylinder, 5-passenger. Model T touring car, unchanged during its four years-before the public; except for a few refinements, put on the market now for $775, equipped to the last detail. The Model T Commercial Roadster for $680. The Model T Town Car for $900. And a new Delivery Wagon on the same Model T. Chassis for $800. These prices include full equipment: ".Extension Top, Automatic Brass Windshield, Gas Lamps, Generator, Speedometer, 3 Oil Lamps, Tubular Horn and Kit of Tools. Is there any wonder that '"When Ford speaks the World listens"? Prices F. O. B., La Grande, Ore. If this were the announcement of a new model you might be skeptical of the car's merits, but.Fdrd Model T is thebest known car on earth. More of them are on the highways of the world than there are of any other motor car. This is the fifth season of thtf Model T and its absolute reliability has been proven by 80,000 satisfied Model T owners. Think how that car has been tried and tested in four years, of hard service. Ford owners in every quarter of the globe' will tell you today that their Model T cars are reliable in every emergency and of surprising efficiency and utility under any and pJl conditions. After all of the millions of miles those cars have traveled, everybody knows the Ford Model T is right. And that's the same sterliner car that is beiner built for 1912 75.000 of them with added features which eo to make it even more convenient ana vamaDie ior users, uv reason or tne larereiv increased nroaucuon. witn conseaiient economv m mivirrff ana maitinc. tne price for 1912 has been largely reduced. ; , r Some of the Original and Exclusive Features which have made the Ford Model T the Most Popular, Most Widely Bought and Most Serviceable Car in the World are as follows: Marvelous Simplicity in Design Few parts, but even- part in harmony with scientific principle. There is nothing superfluous in Ford design, every part has its specific place and purpose and is especially prepared to care for the demand made upon it, mak ing a chassis compact, clean-cut, neat with great strength and ex ceeding lightness in weight. A Car of Vanadium Steel, intelligently and scientifically heat, treated. Mark the fact that there is a great distinction between heat treated steel and steel which is simply heat-hardened. Heat treated steel combines strength with flexibility, giving a wonder fur resistance against crystallization and breaking. Heat harden ed steel lacks flexibility and is susceptible to breakage through severe vibration or shock. Vanadium steel is the stronest of all steels under tensile stress, against vibration and shock. FORD MODEL T is the only motor car in all the world in which the en tire chassis or car is constructed of heat treated Vanadium Steel. Ford Magneto. A triumph of inventive genius, one of the greatest inventions of the age, bocause of its unlimited utility as applied to motor ears. Ford magneto is built into and becomes a part of the fly-wheel. There are no wearing surfaces, no mov ing wires, no ignition troubles. The simplest, safest and least lia ble to trouble of all megnetos. Ford Spur Planetary Transmission, through which the driver has complete control of the car instantly, by which the motor is always connected with the car, no time lost in shifting speeds no crunching or stripping of gears. FORD MODEL T starts op the instant and picks up speed with the fleetness of a deer. M" Ford has demonstrated the corrytcness of his genius in this de vice. It is scientifically rie;ht and is one of the elementary fea tures in the increasing demand for Ford cars. FORD MODEL T ride- easier, smoother, and goes over ob structions or ruts in the road wi h less damage to the tires or t car than any other motor car in the world. The flexibility of the, springs coupled with the extreme light weight of the car fairly lifts it over road obstructions. This is why one set of tires on a FORD MODEL T will make from eight to ten thousand miles. ' Another reason why your upkeep is kept down if you buy a Ford. There is No Weight on the moving parts or vital mechanism of FORD MODEL T. raogOD MdDKDOg (CdDMPANY The Spring Suspension is unique and in. perfect accord, with scientific principles perfectly balanced riding free from jolts, jars and other discomforts so common to most motor cars. The Rear Axle of the FORD MODEL T is in a class by itself, it is not luinbered up with any burdens, of weight. It is f rep' to do its duty, and it does it. Simple as can be strong as can be useful as can be. It passes entirely through the hub of the wheel, another exclusive element of safety, steadiness, and dura bility. You know the wheels of the Ford run straight. They nev er bow in at the top or bottom, but carry the load on an even keel. This is also a tire economy.' FORD MODEL T is tlie lightest weight car in the world, size, power and capacity considered. It has the most horsepower per pound of car weight and this is a mighty important feature,, not only from a standpoint of hill climbing and traveling through sand and snow, mud and sleet, but it is immensely economical on tire wear and consumption of gasoline the heavier the car,, the sooner tires wear out, and the more fuel is required to run it. If weight in a motor car is necessary, why do not the makers- of heavy cars advertise the big weightt 7 FORD MODEL T is the only 4-cylinder car in the world, size, power and capacity considered, selling at the same low price; Tliis is made possible by producing in large quantities, buying materials for spot cash andhavir.g an organization that is perfect in all departments. , FORD MODEL T is the che?pest car in the world to buy and maintain, and simplest to operate. This is because of the heat treated Vanadium Steel construction the simple and accurately scientific design both in motor and chassis and its general .all- round stability. FORD MODEL T is the highest priced quality car in the worhl No exceptions, because it is made of the highest priced materials used in the construction of motor cars. WE ARE NOT BOASTING in any sense, but simply stating, m justice to the prospective buyer, the facts as they exist, that, having all these things dearly in mind, the prospective buver can readily understand that, from the standpoint of design, con struction and operation of the FORD MODEL T car, our price is made possible without in any manner cheapening the product.
