Co. by Bosun Gilbert. 313S31-W. R. I. W. T. Ii. E,, British
American, under.date of Bungalore, India, Jan. 3, 1919:
I was reading a few advertisements of different papers ,
on autoa. pertaining to what they have don in this war.
But nothing about our little Ford. So 1 m writing you a
few facts, which are as follows:
In France 700 cars out of 1000 wore Fords.
In Italy 850 cars out of 1000 were Fords.
In Egypt !W6 cars out of 1000 were Fords.
In Mesopotamia 999 cars out of 1000 were Fords.
Under British capture, th first car in Bagdad was a
FnThe first car to cross the Persian Mountains was a Ford.
The first car in the genuine Garden of Eden was a
FOrThe first car in the Holy Land was a Ford.
Lines of communication contained fords by the hun
dreds from Bagdad to the Black Sea.
I have seen the Fords used as tanks, armored moving
forts, electric light plants, water pumps, ambulances, sup
ply cars, and lots of other things, and they were always
readv for anything at any time.
When we recaptured Kut, the first thing we landed on
was a Ford with nothing left of it but its under frame, bare
wheels, and engine. Forty-five minutes afterwards. Mr.
Ford was manned by a machine gun. and was on the chase
of the retreating Turks and the Cobra Hun.
These statements are facts, as I have served in action
all through the countries named. And I name the t ord the
best auto m the world. The-Irofc-Mule-W ith-a-Kick.
What think you, friends, after reading this letter? Isn't
the Ford good enough for you?
The only Ford Authorized Sales and
Service Station in town. Place your order
now. The only way you can secure new Fords is
by ordering.
