Are You Getting Your Share of the Millions
Saved by Quantity Production
, The price of the Ford Car and the Fordson trac
tor today, compared with other products is the
loiccst in its history.
Nothing less than an industrial miracle of ever
increasing quantity pioduction has made this
possible. Your shrinking dollar holds its value
in purchasing Ford Products, .
Nothing slighted in quality, nothing underdone
in workmanship and the price holds constant.
Because of this miracle the Fordson tractor is
the cheapest in the ivorld as well as the best. It
is the tractor your neighbor uses. is the trac
tor you should have.
