Proof That The
Fords Do Stand
! That the masses are taking an interest in the gubernatorial
race is shown by the manner in which the people are rallying to
the support of Dr. L. G. Hardman, the first candidate to announce,
and the one who has covered more territory and come in contact
with a larger number of voters than any man in the governor’s
race. Farmers, bankers, manufacturers, artisans, laborers and
professional men of every class are lining up in the Hardman
column, confident that he is the man who Ls equipped to give Geor
gia a faithful business administration.
CHARACTER AND QUALIFICATIONS
MAKE STRONG APPEAL
Doctor Hardman’s clean private life and honorable public serv
ice appeal to the people.
His successful professional and business career stamp him as
a man of remarkable ability and resourcefulness.
He is capacitated for executive work through inherent quali
fications and years of wide experience in large affairs.
Six years of useful service in the legislature and two years in
the senate, marked by excellent work for the state, demonstrated
his qualities of statesmanship.
His practical knowledge of farming, shown by the wonderful
success achieved in this profession, together with his work for
Georgia’s agricultural interests as a member of the executive
board of the State Agricultural College and member of the State
Experiment Board, stamp him as a leader in agricultural affairs.
In banking, manufacturing, dairying, drainage, horticulture and
in the profession of medicine, his success speaks eloquently of a
giant mind which analyzes, directs, organizes and masters.
Doctor Hardma-ns’ honest, constructive platform is in keeping
with his progressive and practical ideas. He Ls not a dreamer,
bat a doer; not a scheming politician, but a sincere friend to the
people; not a seeker of public office for self-aggrandizement, but
to serve the people of Georgia which his record proves him able
to do.
His candidacy is meeting with endorsement throughout the
State. The people have learned of his unblemished character, of
his worthy achievements, of his undoubted merits and of his
splendid qualifications for leadership. So convinced are the
masses that Doctor Hardman is the logical man for the governor
ship, he has attained a lead that has caused the prediction to be
made that the country-candidate, the plain man of the people, will
be Georgia’s next chief executive. (Advertisement).

"John Wanamaker in January 1911,
purchased SO Fords Model T cars,
Twenty-five of these cars were sent
to the New York store and twenty-
five to Philadelphia. From the day
the twenty-five curs arrived at Phila
delphia they have been the sensation
of not only the automobile trade but
of the business world generally. All
sorts of predictions were made as to
how short a time they would remain
In service. The many predicting that
in u few ■ months they would shake
upurt; thut they could never stand the
strain of such severe work as they
would have to undergo in delivery
service, and lots of men placed the
length of their usefulness at one year.
They were watched day by day for
signs of breaking down, but, as far
us the general public noticed, their
numbers did not seem to lessen to
any considerable extent, and at al
most every turn a Wanamaker Ford
could be seen flying past, many of
them apparently overloaded.
"Today, after three years constant
service, J. H. Stull, of Wanamaker’s
Philadelphia store states that the en
tire twenty-five Ford cars in Phila
delphia, instead of having fallen to
pieces or shaken apart, are still in
service, practically us good as the day
they were put on the street.
“These Ford cars are used by
Wanamaker in city and suburban de
livery service. They cover from 85 to
40 miles a day, averaging from 300 to
500 light packages. Each one takes
the place of a wagon add two horses
hut with the latter using one horse
every other day the average of ter
ritory covered was about 18 miles.
With the Ford wagons us high as ,600
stops per duy huve been made. Giood
care has been taken of these little
wagons, but not more so than that
of the horses, wagons, and harness
They have done more work at a great
deal less expense.
“Just how much longer they will
keep up their splendid work of course
cannot be estimated, but they have
more than paid for themselves, and if
