For What It’s Worth
By Clifford Rowe
As one goes about his daily
rounds, he is bound to hear some
sorrow ful stories. And if one does
not bother his m ind w ith the facts
behind the tears, he is likely to
develope a depressed attitude to
w ard the w orld and life in gen
eral.
Ju st for exam ple, the other day
I had the bad fortune to listen in
on a citizen who was baring his
m iseries to all who w ere w ithin
his hearing. N aturally w ith the
tim e being w hat it was. just prior
to election day, his lam enting was
on the subject of taxes, a topic
upon w hich almost anyone, re
gardless of experience, can re
lieve his pent-up frustrations.
This poor, u n fo rtu n ate sen of
m isery was lam enting the fact
th a t his property tax this year
would be far in excess of $1,000
and he was holding him self up as
an object for sym pathy from all
those m ore fortunate. Now, $1,000
is a lot of money, in fact, I can
well recall the days w hen 1 w asn't

Marie o f Tomorrow in the new land o f Ford!
It t the sculptured look. You 11 see it the moment your eyes wander
over this fine car. In a ’57 Ford you belong . . . anywhere.
It s the long, lean lines. There’s a greyhound grace to this Ford.
No useless "fat,” no showy ’’padding.” I t ’s as trim as a jet fighter.
It's the hardtop styling. Fairlane sedans have the hardtop look of
Victorias! Superthin, superstrong center pillars are smartly concealed
to give hardtop beauty when doors are closed.
It s the freedom of choice. Colors? Fabrics? Accessories? Far more
than that! Ford gives you a choice of two new, bigger sizes . . . longer
lower, roomier!

It s the ride that stays gentle. With a new frame th at rides
sweeter and lower, new springs, new suspension all around,
even the rudest roads can’t ruffle the poise of the new Ford.
It’s the Thunderbird power. Ford celebrates
its Silver Anniversary of V-8 leadership with
the biggest selection of V-8’s in Ford history.*
In addition to all this Thunderbird GO,

It s the record-breaking performance. On the Salt Flats at
Bonneville, Utah, a ’57 Ford traveled 50,00(1 miles in less than 20 days
. . an average speed of 108.16 mph, including all pit stops! Another
Ford averaged over 107 mph. Altogether, 458 national and international
performance records were smashed as Ford rewrote the record book.
It's the big dollar value that lasts and lasts. Styled for tomorrow,
a new Ford keeps its value longer. And wonder of wonders, all this
extra strength, extra beauty, extra length is yours at low Ford prices!
