It has always been oitf belief lhat a-sale docs not complete the transaction between ' us and the buyer, but establishes a new obligation on us to see that his car gives him service. We are as much interested in your economical operation of the car as you are in our economical manufacture of it This is only good business on our part. If our car gives service, sales will take care of themselves. For that reason we have installed a system of controlled service to take care of all Ford car needs in an economical and im proved manner. We wish all users of Ford cars to know what they are entitled to in this respect, so that they may readily avail themselves of this service. . FROM the very earliest ben in ning, SERVICE has been the :omerstone of the Ford business. Fai1 back in 1908, when the first Model .T . Fords were nr.ule, there were few people who understood lite operation of an automobile 1ml fewer plnces to which the pur chaser might turn for help when repairs were needed. Frequently in those- duys, Mr. Ford would deliver the car person ally to the new owner and see to it that some arrangements were made to keep it in good running order. Usually he would find the best mechanic and explain the construc tion of the car to him. Sometimes when no such mechanic was avail able, the town blacksmith would be pressed into service. Then, as the business grew, cap able men were appointed, in a widening circle of towns, to devote their entire time to the care of Fold cars. These men, wherever located, worked under close factory supervision and according to cer tain set standards. Far just as the Ford Motor com pany was the pioneer in the making of "a strong, simple, satisfactory automobile at a low price," so it was also the pioneer in establishing complete and satisfactory service facilities. For the first time in the automo bile business it became possible for the purchaser of a car to buy parts quickly and readily and to have repairs made at a reasonable cost. Where formerly- it had been the accepted practice to charge the highest possible prices for these repairs',' a new policy was instituted for the protection of the owner. The unusual character of Ford Service was soon recognized bh one of the outstanding features of the car. Today there are more than 9000 Ford dealers in the United States alone, with thousands of others located throughout the world. Their mechanics have been trained in special schools, conducted by the Ford Motor, .company and they have been equipped with all the latest sei-vice machinery. The well ordered cleanliness of the shops and salesrooms and the uniform courtesy Of nil dealer employees are particularly appreciated by the woman motorist. , Wherever you live, or wherever you go, you Will find the Ford dealer prompt and businesslike in his work, fair in his chm-gen, and sincerely eager to do a good and thorough job at all times. His constant effort is to relieve you of every detail in the care of your cur and to help you get thou sands upon thousands of miles of satisfactory, enjoyable motoring at a very low cost per mile. That is the purpose for which the Ford car was designed and built. That W the true meaning of FORD SERVICE. .
