When buying real estate, a home, stocks and bonds, you base your judgment on FUTURE VALUES more than on present costs. For this same reason, THINKING people buy FORD CARS. The depreciation on other cars from Blue Book figures average 45% the first year. Most of them depreciate one third after your first ride. The first year's depreciation on a fourteen hundred to eigh- teen hundred dollar car will more than buy a brand new FORD CAR. * COMPARE VALUES Service, Economy, Stability, Price Per Pound, and Future Values are the points on which your judgment should be based.
