Throughout the history of automo-| biles you wiil find the large car man- ufacturer has experimented, demon- strated, tested his car at the expense of the buyer. Every year a new model is produeed attempting to eliminate misfits in the last model. Some were compelled, by lack of sales, to pro- duce as many as four distinetly dif- ferent cars in one single year and tag them in appearance and name as the original present year's model. Incon- ceivable mistakes were paid for {he unfortunate buyer. More than twenty ave attempted to produce a car at about or a little above the price of a popular ear, and ali have learned that their manufacturing facil- ities, buying power, overhead expense and sclling cost will not permit of such a priee if they produce a satis- factory car. Those who did not fail financially proceeded to manufacture the car and offer it at prices ranging from $600 to $1,200. Lcoking over the financial statements you will find condition and others on the verge of a reorganization. Notice that the good companies manufacture but one or two models and practically the only difference is in style of body. On the cther hand, the company man- ufacturing several models and con- stantly changing never has had a sat- | isfactory ear and depends mostly upon body lines and attractive ads to sell the car. by | manufacturers | al few of these companies in excellent; Now, iz it reasonable to believe that company which finds it neccessary to produce several models to sell their produetion and has failed to show a single tnodel which has proven satis- factory for more than six months--is it reasonable to assume that such a company, with millions in outstanding bonds, millions invested in machinery especially adapted for only large cars, could at one stroke stop short and during these times of high prices pro. duce a satisfactory car at about or a little above the price of the Ford car? Do you care to spend your money to test the car and then see a new model produced within a few months after ycu buy yours? Have you ever attempted to obtain a repair part for one of these orphans? Have you ever asked the price of such parts as can be found? The Ford Motor manufactured the present model "TT" 'Ford chassis for twelve successful years, and if you have a 1908 Ford car the present parts will fit it. The car won its way to the top by its proven value. This could be gained only after the Ford car had proven by all the tests that time and the greatest number and variety of uses and abuses can impose "its superior worth." It had delivered to users what they demand in a motor car. Why consider taking a chance? Or- der your Ford car today. The factory is oversold and we are taking orders | for future delivery. - R. D.
