He has made 75 coast-to-coast trips! His latest trip w»s in a Ford Raadstcr—sealed in high gear, with both low and reverse removed. Never, in the whole history of the automobile, has there been a > more wonderful demonstration of power, s >eed, dependability, endurance and || ECONOMY. c. H Think of it—from New York to Los Angelo, 3,306 miles, in high_ gear every foot of g the way, in 122 hours 13 minutes—at a tot’d f ue l expense of $37.24 an av erage of I.lc per mile! ► Ford dealers have preached economy and dependability and SOLI) it for years. Yet ’ ' here is the astounding demonstration of the REAL economy and enduiance of a g Ford car we have ever seen. What “{’a.nuunbaU” Baker’s Ford roadster did for him, any Ford roadster will do. Not that you may ever want to break a transcontinental record—but you do want, and can get the same economy, the same stalwa t and indomitable endurance, the same L almost incredible dependability, in the LOWEST-COST automobile the. world, has . ever seen—a FORD!

Beside England's midget automobile were cats ol every size and prfoe. Several new inanufaqtures made their first appeal to the motor-wise buyers. A general downward revision in I prizes and a market-wide tmporvement in standards bt in hanies and comfort and equipment were the features of I the display. iiut attention centered on the small! curs. They are. most of them smaller than the smallest American car. There is a reason for the small carl popularity.
