Boston’s Mayor has endorsed the Ford for city service. So has John
Wanamaker, prince of merchants. The shrewedest business men
choose the FORD because it gives the biggest return for the dollar in
vested. The first cost is the biggest cost of the FORD and the small
est cost of any other car because of the after expense. The FORD
is the one car you can drive at less than horse and buggy rates. Thou
sands drive the ford at less than two cents a mile. It’s the cost
to keep that counts.
Out of date and out of use go the big cars. The FORD has always
been light and strong, which no doubt accounts for its increasing sales
the world over. It’s the standard and universal car, having proven it
self most fit.
Such a car is worth the price and you may be sure it is never sold at a cut price. The following is a list of
cars sold here in the last 30 days: W. W. Fussell, Richard Smith, Henry Stevens, E. D. Douglas, Dan Hall, J. E.
Causey, J. S. Lott, W. L. Hall, C. R. Tidwell, D. H. Meeks, W. G. Harris, J. F. Overstreet, M. M. McGovern, J. H.
Peterson, W. F. Sibbett, C. H. Williams A. J. Meeks, J. G. Solomon, E. R. Lockridge, and Coffee County Progress
for capital prize in its contest.
These men are ample able to buy any kind of a car they want but they have done as more than half a million
others have done. Bcught a FORD. Who will be next? . - - , .. ...
