( 1, 1 iki 1 UJ It v 1" C 9 ,Vi t ft V ' V There are sone thltrgs we refuse to do to sell a oar. We like sales, but fair-dealing and the confidence of our customers are desirable, too. For one thing, we refuse to poison anyone's mind against another sake of oar. We know what our oar is and what it will do, and we are ready to tell you about that. But to imply defects in another car is not our business. We have done our utmost to encourage intelligent buying of motor cars by showing purchasers how to protect their own interests. All that a good producer asks is a customer who knows quality when he sees it. An intelligent purchaser will speedily conclude that only a bad product requires bad sales methods. - We refuse, also, to adopt the role of tricky trader that is, pre tending to offer you a larger trade-in allowance, and taking it away from you in some other way. Ford trade-in values are high, but we do not make fictitious allowances in order to get a sale which may be otherwise disadvantageous to the buyer. Our dealers take used cars upon a system ., of values, neft by haggling or barter. In this world no one gets something for nothing, although there are many ways of making people think that they do. The sure way to get value for value is. first, by being yourself willing to deal on that basis, and second, by dealing with a concern that has no other policy. We refuse to keep dinning in your ears that the Ford V-8 is the best, most economical, lowest-priced oar. That is olaimed for several cars. Obviously it cannot be true of all. There comes a point where claims and adjectives and all advertising hysteria disappears in its own fog. Per sonally, I prefer facts. We say the new Ford V-8 is the best car we have made. We say that our 8-cylinder car is as economical to operate as any lower number of cylinders. We say that we have always been known as the makers of good cars and that the many good, well-balanced qualities of our present car places it at the head of our line to date. Anyone wishing to do business with us on these prinoiples will find our word and the quality of our product to be A-l. What we say about economy, operation and durability will stand good anywhere. r July 7thj, 193S ft'' 'WMV
