And think of a car wittftnit ide-sway a car which steers with unbelievable ease: a car made ho safe by Chry sler hydraulic four-wheel brakes and so compactly de signed for easy prrking, that you I.

The atarter has a dif ficult tlmo cranking tho englno und tabors and groans at Km tusk. Tho reason for the extra load on tho starter ia explained by tho Hum ming or congealing of tho lubri cating oil In tho engine. Tho film of lubrication on tho bearing sur faco has congealed und gummed to a point of sttcklneas, offering resistance to moving parts. Tho saure happens with tho oil supply In tho englno base.

How to Avoid Tills Wear. 1 Hervlce Manager 1 J.

The lu bricant mixed with fuel will insure some oil on the. cylinder, walla, In this connection it. Is noteworthy that only lubrication ' that most rwo-cyete motors , renslvo rosultrt, from tho mixing of oil with tho contents of the fuel tank. In Mr, Leyorle'a opinion this one precaution, will go, Of long way "to-, ward eliminating the danger of ex cessive engine, wear In winter mo toring. It has been ataled by vari ous engineers and service outhorl, I lea that, more dumitge can be Hdlie to Iho engine In Iho first ten min utes of warming up on a cold morning than takes place In hours -of driving during the summer sea son. It la, best to idle iho motor slowly to Warm it up, and to take sufficient time to allow It to warm up thoroughly before starting lo drive. Also niotorhils are advised to use a cover over tho grille. This aaalHts the mojor ln warming up and permits operation with higher thermal efficiency.

' The price advantage which the public enjoys in purchas ing Ford cars is the result of volume production. In I920, when the Ford Motor Company was producing Sp- v , proximately only a million cars a year, the Ford Touring Car sold for $575. Today, with production on the basis of nearly two million cars a year the Tudor Sedan,' a . high quality alt-steel closed car, can be purchased for $520-f-$55 less than the, Touring Car sold for six yeurs ago. Open par prices are correspondingly low. While this program of price reduction has been carried on, important refinements and improvements have been made in Ford cars'. The latest improvements include new and attractive body lines n lower center of gravity, closed cars in color, all-steel bodies, new brakes and new style fenders. However, the basic features of Ford design have not been changed. Three point motor suspension, planetary ' transmission, dual ignition system, torque tube drive, multiple disc-in-oil clutch, splash lubrication, thermo- ' syphon cooling system outstanding features of auto mobile design have all been retained, regardless of cost. ; FORD MOTOR COMPANY, Detroit TOURINC .$ 310 TUDOR SEDAN RUNABOUT 'NEW COUPE I'ORDOR SEDAN s520 3500 $565 Closed Car prices include starter and demountable rims All prices I. o. b.
