SHALL WE VOTE BONDS
FOR NEW FIRE HOUSE
At the election Tuesday will be
voted whether or not a $7000 bond is
sue will be authorized to erect a build
ing uptown to house thefireapparatus.
The fire department secured a peti
tion signed by over a hundred prop
erty owners asking that this question
be submitted. The reason this is be
ing asked by the department is be
cause practically eighty per cent of
the value of the property in town is
situated within not more than two
blocks on the proposed location for
the building. The three most val
uable buildings in town, none of which
are fireproof, are St. Mary’s Academy,
the public school and the court house.
In case of fire in any of these build
ings it is now necessary for some fire
man to go to the present station and
drive the fire truck from there to the
scene of the fire. This would lose
several minutes in getting to a fire
which might occur in any of these
buildings, and the first few minutes
are the most important. With the
number of children attending these
schools it was felt that the quickest
possible facilities should be furnished
to get the apparatus to the scene ol
a fire.
The fire truck is old and may break
down any time going to a fire. If it
breaks down while it is near the
present station it will be many min
utes before the hose could be brought
to the place where it is needed. If
the proposed building is authorized
then even if the truck broke down, it
would not be any time before tht
hose could be carried to some hydrant f
to be used to fight the fire.

to erery owner of a
Model T Ford
■ ' ' ' U *•, r . ' ’ . ’ * * * * * > ■ J
ON MAY 25, 1927, when Henry Ford first announced his
plans for making a new car, he announced also that he would
continue to make parts for the Model T Ford. He said:
"The Model T Ford car was a pioneer. It blazed the
way for the motor industry and started the movement for
good roads everywhere. It broke down the barriers of
distance in rural sections, brought people in these sections
closer together, and placed education within the reach of
everyone. We are still proud of the Model T Ford. If we
were not, we would not have continued to make it so long.”
For twenty years, the Model T Ford led the automobile
industry and it still serves more people than any other auto
mobile. Over one-third of all the automobiles in use today
are Model T Fords — an indication of the sturdy worth
I of the car and its value to people in all walks of life the
world over.
The Ford Motor Company will continue to make re
placement parts for these cars "until the last Model T is
off the road." That is a part of Ford service. That is what
Henry Ford meant when he said: "We believe that when a
man buys one of our cars we should keep it running for
him as long as we can and at the lowest up-keep cost."
Because of this policy a considerable part of the Ford
manufacturing plants is given over to the making of parts
for the Model T Ford. These replacement parts are made
of the same material and in the same way as those from
which your car was originally assembled.
Make it a point, therefore, to see the nearest Ford dealer
and have him look over your Model T Ford. You may find
that a very small expenditure will enable you to get thou
sands of miles of additional service, and at the same time
I protect the money you have invested in your car.
