THE UNIVERSAL CAR

About Ford Cars—Solid Logic The Ford car has been fundamentally right from the beginning. That fact made it "The Universal Car.” It had always lead in lowest first cost as well as in lowest cost to maintain and operate. Runabout, Touring Car, Coupe, Sedan, Truck and Fordson Tractor—we have them all and will make reasonably prompt delivery.. • Simplicity has ever marked the designing and building of Ford cars trucks and trActors. Henry Ford and his engineers have always striven for simplicity and strength. The success of the Model "T” Ford car and a great part of the Ford Motor Company’s success has come from an early understanding and appreciation of that principle in motor construction. The few'er the parts in a car fewer the parts to go wrong. When that simple truth is carried out in producing a car, as it is in Ford cars, trucks and tractors, the result is bound to be a simplicity of design and building that means simplicity, durablity and economy of operation. Ths simplicity of construction proves itself in the ease with which Ford cars, trucks and tractors are driven. Four million five hundred Ford cars in daily service proves every claim we make. IV^ore than ever we are sure the Ford car is your necessity— let’s have your order today. King, Morrison & Foster Ford and Fordson Agents Greencastle Cloverdale Roachdale
