They look strong enough, but the metal isn't there, the strong, durable Vanadiun;4steel that goes into the Ford Chassis and every Ford part. Ford parts are specially cast and heat-treated, each according to its use. Some require a hard, flint-like wearing surface, others need resili ency, and some need just "toughness." Ford metallurgists have been studying these problems for sixteen years and know just how each unit should be made to endure a maxi mum amount of wear and tear. They know that best results can be ob tained only by the use of special formulas for different parts, and that honest Ford parts wear from thirty-five to one hundred per cent longer than counterfeits. We carry complete assortments of genuine Ford parts for both passen ger cars and trucks. And our garage is equipped to give careful, prompt Ford service fx-om minor adjustments to complete overhauls. Drive in, it's better to be safe than sorry. Come to the Authorized Ford dealer for service. Ford Touring $000. Ford Itondstcr $575. Ford Sedan $875 Ford Coupelet $750. . Ford Truck $500.
