More than a thousand experts were

The chief purpose was to make the
blockade as complete as possible

the tax situation that presented itself
in each state, and in his address to
the Athens club Thursday will outline
the most striking things with which
he came in contact.
It will he recalled that Mr. Hollo

in education and the provision the
various states are making in the way
of caring for their institutions. It is
understood that this subject will re
ceive very lengthv and complete dis
cussion during Mr. Holloman’s talk
in Athens, and the university author!- 1

We Sell Ford Products Anywhere in Georgia
The above slogan is one which we have recently adopted
and the purpose of this letter is to explain if possible, why we
have adopted it and just what it means to YOU and to US. It
used to be that each Ford dealer had a certain specified terri
tory in which he had to sell his allotment of cars and tractors.
But such is not the case now. The Ford Motor Company hav
ing removed all territorial lines, we are permitted to sell Ford
Products to any person anywhere in the United States, but as ^
we are soliciting sales from within the state of Georgia only, web-iuJ
have adopted the above as a slogan. , 3
■ ' )du
Now in regard to what it may mean to you. It means that
you can now MAKE YOUR OWN CHOICE as to WHOM you H or
buy your Ford Car from. Or in other words the time has passed J; d
when a dealer can dictate to you his own terms of trade or sale
and delivery, and you must either accept them or do without ' : J
your Ford. No sir, not any dealer can now stand in front of his3
would-be customer and tell him, “YOU WILL HAVE TO BUY
YOUR FORD FROM ME.” It further means that you will not \ *
have TO WAIT FOR DELIVERY because some one dealer /. y/
cannot supply you with the car you want. You can buy it NEW f
and FULLY GUARANTEED from any dealer wherever you ,
can find it. It means a NEW FREEDOM for the buyer.
Well what does it mean to us? It means a new FREEDOM
to the dealer. It means that we will stand or fall upon our own 1 ^
merits. It means that we must deal fairly with our customers if
we expect to build a lasting business. It means that it is com- —
mon sense and good business for us to give every Ford owner
the best treatment and service possible. Where you bought: A,
your last car does not matter, it is WHERE YOU WILL BUY
YOUR NEXT that is of interest to us.
If you are interested get our prices and terms before you Ml
buy. We want and will appreciate your business.
