THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Mr. Prospective Auto
Buyer
Dear Sir:
Automobile llcensos are based upon tho WEIGHT of the car;
the LIGHTER the car, the lighter the TAX.
The federal WAR tax hits tho buyer of a BIG car pretty hard,
but tho war tax on a FORD is a small matter.
A sot of TIRES for a BIG car will cost quite a bit moro than
the first payment on a Ford, FULLY EQUIPPED.
Tho monthly payments on a BIG CAR amount to more than
the monthly EARNINGS of plenty Ford owners who have paid
for their cars and still HAVE MONEY IN THE BANK.
Repairs? A Ford owner can do most of his own, but If a
shop Job IS necessary, well, THAT'S tho time the BIG CAR
owner wishes he had bought a Ford In tho first place.
Resale? Thoro Is a greater demand for USED Fords than
for any other car. A USED Ford can be sold for a greater
PERCENTAGE of its original cost than can any other car.
And with all these advantages, you can buy your Ford with
a small cash payment and pay the balance on easy terms, cov
ering full equipment, even to license and Insurance.
Pay while you ride, Start riding NOW1
Yours very truly,
V. B. Staples
