The new Ford car 'will sell at a surprisingly low price When you think of such features as these, you think instinctively of a car costing much more than the new Ford. The low price is as unusual as the appearance and performance of the car itself. The low prices of the six body types are undoubtedly lower than you thought they would be when you first heard that ; Ford was making a new car. They arc, in fact, lower than we thought they could pos sibly be when we started to make this car. We determined to bring new comfort, beauty, speed, safety, economy and relia bility within reach of everybody who drives a" car, and then forced ourselves to find ways to make the low prices possible. The new Ford car is the result of years of careful planning. Every part of it has been tested and retestcd in actual practice.

It will do 55 and 60 miles an hourwith easeandhasrun 65 miles an hour on road tests. is no way it can escape being so, for it is the sum total of all wc have learned about ( motor car building in the lifetime of the Ford business. Some of the features of the new Ford car In this connection wc call your particular attention to the new engine; the new pump, splash and gravity oil system ; the multiple dry-disc clutch; the new pump and thermo-syphon cooling system; the new battery, coil and distributor ignition; the low center of gravity and minimum unsprung weight which combine with the hydraulic shock absorbers to make the new Ford such an easy-riding car; the irreversible steering gear, with the column and the housing of the steering gear mechanism welded into a single all-steel unit; the seamless, all-steel torque tube; the new one-piece, welded, steel-spoke wheels; the three-quarters-floating rear axle in a forged-steel housing of excep tional strength; the theft-proof coinci dental lock; and the aluminum pistons which were selected after many tests because of their light weight and heat conducting qualities.

We consider it our most important contribution thus far to the prog ress of the motor industry, to the prosperity of the country, and to the daily welfare of millions of people. " ' Steel forgfags are used throughout ex cept, of course, for the engine castings. More Steel forgings, in fact, are used in the new Ford than in almost any other car, regardless of price. We ARE able to sell this new Ford car at a low price because we have found new ways to give you greater value without a great increase in our own costs. Because wc own our own ore mines, coal mines and timber lands and the source of most of our raw materials, Because we make virtually every part used in the new Ford car. Because it is the Ford policy to make a small profit on a large number of cars, rather than a large profit on a small number of cars. ' There is nothing like it in quality and price ' No other manufacturer can possibly du plicate the new Ford car at the Ford price because no other manufacturer does busi ness the way we do. The public made this business possible. We believe we should share our profits with the public by continually giving greater and greater value for the money. There arc good and substantial reasons, therefore, why the new Ford car is the most unusual value ever offered in a low price car. By all means, learn about the new Ford on Friday when it Is officially announced Jn this city. - You will know then that there is nothing quite like it anywhere in quality and price, Page Nine 4 V ' 9
