When the test comes, you want to know that
your car will measure up to the requirements.
Ford cars, with their light, strong, flexible
frames, sturdy, powerful motors and simple
design, meet all demands. In city or coun­
try, on good roads or bad, under all condi­
tions, the Ford gets there—and gets back—
at an average cost of two cents a mile for
operation and maintenance.
Buyers will share in profits if we sell at retail
