Spring deliveries of Ford cars have never been certain, and they should not be depended upon. Demand has always been greater for Ford cars than the supply or production. So, if you would be sure of having a Ford car, buy it now while deliveries are possible. Don't wait even next month is an uncertainty. Only a limited, specified number of cars has been allotted to this territory. That allotment cannot be increased, because the demand all over the country is far greater than the supply or production. Get your order in now, and you will be one of those who is sure of a Ford car out of our allotment. It's first come first served. All orders are filled in rotation. So. if you would be forehanded, if you would be certain of having a Ford car when you want it -then you will buy Ford car now. A signed order with us is your protection. It is the result of the wisdom of looking ahead. If you buy a Ford car now, don't think you have to "store" it. The Ford is a car made to serve its owner for business or pleasure throughout the entire year. Ford owners have long since come to recognize the fact. It is no longer popular to "lay-up" your car for the winter. Buy a Ford car now, and use it now. A new Ford touring car with electric starter and electric lights will cost you less than a dollar and a half a day. Can make prompt deliveries on touring cars and trucks. E. N. Bunnell Motor Co.
