all his rights to The Call of
Wild for only two thousand
lars.
If you want to write a book, the
very first requisite is to have
something to write about. That
was one of the secrets of Jack
London’s astonishing success. He
packed ten thousand colorful ex- j
periences into his short and fever- >
ish life. J
Jack London’s childhood was
seared with poverty and hardships.
He laughed at schools and played
hookey most of the time. Yet one
j day he wandered into a public li
brary and began reading Robinson
Crusoe. He was fascinated. The
next day he rushed back to the
! library to read other books. From
that time on he an unquench-
1 able passion for books. He often
mad ten and fifteen hours a day.
He devoured everything from
Nick Carter to Shakespeare—
everything from Herbert Spencer
to Kerl Marx. When he was nine
teen, he decided to stop selling
his muscles and sell his brain in
stead.
So, at the age of nineteen, he >
entered high school in Oakland,
California. He studied night and I
day, took hardly any time at ail
for sleep and did a phenomenal
thing. He actually crammed four
years of work into three
passed his examinations, and thin
entered the University of Cali
fornia.
Obsessed with a driving ambi
tion to become a great writer, he
studied Treasure Island, The
j Count of Monte Cristo, and the
Tale of Two Cities, studied them
over and over and then wrote
feverishly. He wrote five thousand
words a day. that means a full
lenght novel in twenty days. He
sometimes had thirty stories out in
the hands of editors at the same
time - But the y a11 came back - He
was learning nis trade.
Then one day one of his stories
entitled Typhoon Off the Coast of
j ■ Japan won first prize in a con
I test sponsored by the San Francis
S co Call. He got only twenty dol
lars for the story. He was broke
| and couldn’t pay even his room
! rent.
! That was 1896—a year of drama
and excitement. Gold was dis
covered in the Klondike. The gold
j diggers were on the move. The
j locust swarm of humanity took
wings and headed for the golden
land under the northern lights,
And Jack London was with
them. He spent a hectic year hunt
! ing for gold in the Klondike. He
endured incredible hardships.
Eggs were worth twenty-five
cents apiece and butter sold for
three dollars a pound. He slept
on the ground with the ther
mometer at 74 degrees below zero.
Finally he drifted back to the
States without a penny in his poc
ket. He did whatever odd jobs he
could find. He washed dishes in
restaurants. He scrubbed floors
He worked on the docks and in
factories.
Then one day, with only two
dollars between himself and hun
ger, he decided to give up manual
labor forever and devote all of
his time to literature. That was
I in 1898. Five years later, in
he had published six books, and
one hundred and twenty-five
short stories, and was one of the
most talked-of men in literary
! America.
Jack London died in 1916, at
the age of forty, only eighteen
years after he really started to
write, and during that time
! wrote an average of about three
books a year besides countless
stories.

"TTord offers two new cars for 1938—
JU the Standard Ford V-8 and the De
Luxe Ford V-8. They are different in ap
pearance— but built to the same high
standard of mechanical excellence — on
the same chassis.
Because people liked our 1937 car so
well, they bought more than of any other
make. They liked its looks, its smooth
j performance, and the way it handled. We
have improved on that car in the newly
j styled Standard Ford V-8.
But some folks wanted still more size
and style, with the same Ford advantages.
For them, we designed a new De Luxe line.
The De Luxe Ford V- 8 Sedans are longer
with more room, larger luggage space,
and finer appointments all around.

De Luxe cars are equipped with the 85
horsepower engine only.
The Standard is even lower priced than
the De Luxe. It has graceful new lines
and well-tailored interiors—with a choice
of engine sizes—85 or 60 horsepower.
Before Ford made V-type 8-cylinder en
gines available to every one, they were
used only in expensive cars. Since then,
four million Ford owners have learned
the genuine enjoyment of driving an eight
cylinder car with all-around economy.
The thrifty “60” engine, especially, makes
possible in Standard models a very low
first cost and equally low operating cost.
With two distinct designs, two engine
sizes and two price ranges, you’ll find a
1938 Ford car to fit your needs exactly.
