The Ford is lighter than any other car of its si.o and
power. Yet stronger, sturdier, longer lasting. Van
adium steel ,tlint's why. Vanadium is the hardest,
strongest, toughest steel made. It is the only steel
that is hard and tough at the same time. H is the
highest priced steel that is used in automobile con
struction. Yet the Ford is very low in price. Its
quality, terms, price and small cost of operation nnd
upkeep, less than two cents a mile, have made it the
universal necessity in town and country.
