If you bought a Ford, Mr. Ford recognized his responsibility to furnish service for it, to keep it running satisfactorily until it wore out. And that is Ford policy today just as it was in 1905. Buy a Ford car, whether new or used, and you are entitled to the benefits and economics of Ford Service. That Is why thousands of well-equipped Ford Service Stations dot the world. You can get the help of trained mechanics, and genuine Ford parts, in almost every village and town. And more than that you can get the help of the Ford factory when it comes to major repair work. Ford has done some thing different to save your time and money. Ford Service has an Engine Ex change Plan by which in a few hours you can have an engine installed which has been reconditioned at the factory. And you save at least one-third the cost of an ordinary engine overhaul. You can get the same Exchange Service on smaller units such as carburetor, distributor, gen erator, fuel pump. In many communities, Ford dealers are adding Neighborhood Service Stations in order to bring Ford Service closer to you. They are also installing the scientific new Ford Laboratory Test Set, which tells in a minute what is wrong with any engine or electrical system. All this is to give you more satisfaction in the use of your Ford car, at less cost. We believe It will cost you far less if you own a Ford and use Ford Service. 1 Olll) .MOT OH COMPANY See the New 1 935 Ford V-8 at C. E. GATES AUTO CO. WALTER W. ABBEY. Inc. 123 So.
