THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Pride of Ownership
TP HE Ford Touring Car has brought to the- farm
homes of the country more real pleasure, comfort
and convenience than perhaps any other one thing.
It has enabled the farmer and his family to mingle with
friends, attend church, neighborhood functions, and en
joy the many pleasantries that abound in country life.
Truly the Ford car with its low cost of operation and
maintenance, its usefulness and efficiency, has been a
boon to the American farmer.
Your order should be placed at once if you wish to avoid
delay in delivery.

Why Experiment?
Be sure you have a good battery for your car. Good
batteries are selling much lower than formerly. A good,
reliable battery now sells for $18.50 and up. Buy a
good battery and you will be done with your trouble.
A good battery is so reasonable you cannot afford to
flirt with a poor one. w
See us for the best service.

a:d she couid ride the machine just'
as she had soae years since before '

twenty years with tires flat. The
lady mounted the unruly steed and
made the visit thus requiring the
joshing neighbor to produce the sack

Even granting that non-advertising
stores could attract as many
buyers as the advertising ones, the
latter would make the more money,
because buyers would come knowing
exactly what they wajited and not
take up nearly so much clerk toe,
thereby reducing materially the over
