The Universal Car
Pride of Ownership
The Ford Touring Car has brought to the farm homes of
the country more real pleasure, comfort and convenience
than perhaps any other one thing.
It has enabled the farmer and his family to mingle with
friends, attend church, neighborhood functions, and enjoy
the many pleasantries that abound in country life. ,
Truly the Ford car with its low cost of operation and
maintenance, its usefulness and efficiency has been a boon
to the American farmer. -w * i
