Millions of these cars can le put in shape for two, three and five more years of use at very small cost. So that you may have this work done economically ami satisfactorily, the Ford Motor Company is still de voting u considerable section of its plants to the manu facture of Model T parts. It will continue to do so as long us they are needed by Model T owners. The follow ing list gives the approximate labor charges for recon ditioning the Model T Ford:— Engine Tunc motor (including replacement of commutator case, brush and vibrator points if necessary) ...

The charge for these parts is low, however, because of the established Ford policy of manufacturing and selling at a small margin of profit. Ford Motor Company figure of (Jen.

Leaving Lovers’ Lain we came in to t lie drive leading up to the De itenne plantation on which we find the beautiful Wormsloe Gardens. This plantation consists of 800 acres of land and only 100 tire in cultivation. The others are in their natural frag rance and beauty. This is the only plantation in the United States to re main to the present day in the hands of the same family to whom it was granted by the king. 'The Aza lia gardens were not in full bloom, but were nevertheless very beautiful. Leaving there we went on around the Isle of Hope to Barber’s Diamond Back Tarrapin farm.
