M ore th a n 7 3 ,0 0 0 m ile s in a N e w Ford THE substantial worth o f the new Ford is reflected in its good performance, economy and reliability. Its stamina and endurance are particularly apparent in sections where bad roads and severe weather put a heavy extra burden on the automobile. In less than a year a new Ford Tudor Sedan was driven more than seventy-three thousand miles over a difficult route. The operating cost per mile was very low and practically the only expense for repairs was for new piston rings and a new bearing for the generator. The ear carried an average load of 1200 pounds of mail and was driven 250 miles daily. “The Ford has never failed to go when I was ready,” writes one of the three mail carriers operating the car. “The starter did the trick last winter even at 34 degrees below zero. The gas runs about 20 miles per gallon. At times I pull a trailer whenever I have a bulky load.” Many other Ford owners report the same satisfactory performance. Every part has been made to endure__to serve yon faithfully and well for many thousands of mil as i T he N ew F ord T udor S edan te w p b ic b s o r fo b » cabs $ 4 3 0 to $ 6 3 0 • * « r o a t snss rff ro o t.
