City of Detroit purchases 137 new Ford cars
Hundreds now in use prove low cost of operation
THESE 137 new Ford cars represent one
of the largest deliveries ever made to a
municipality at one time.
- 21 radio-equipped Ford scout cars were
traded in on this purchase. They had been
operated day and night for two years in
heavy traffic and all kinds of weather.
Their individual records ranged from
78, 13 1 miles to 143,723 miles with a grand
total of 2.233,097 miles. The operating
cost of the 21 cars was 2.281 cents a mile
less than 213 cents. This cost included
all fuel, oil, tires, repairs and every other
item except depreciation and insurance.
Of 577 Ford cars in Detroit City service,
the 300 in the Police Department traveled
a total of 6,391,937 miles during the past
fiscal year, at an average cost of 2.9 cents
a mile.
Many claims have been made on operat
ing costs, but here in the carefully kept
motor car- records of the City of Detroit is
positive' proof of Ford economy.
In the paragraphs above, it is seen that
21 Ford scout cars averaged less than 2 13

cents a mile and 300 Ford cars in all
branches of Detroit police work averaged
2.9 cents a mile!
Day and night, twenty-four hours a day,
these Ford cars are in operation. Few
branches of transportation demand such
grueling service. The records show that
low fuel and oil consumption is but one of
the Ford's many economies. Ford ma
terial?, simplicity of design and accuracy
in manufacturing provide unusual strength,
stamina and freedom from replacements
and repairs.
The individual car buyer as well as the
purchasing department of a city or a busi
ness cannot afford to ignore the proved
economy of the Ford car.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
In the lesson-sermon for Sunday.
Nov. 22nd, subject "Soul and Body,"
there is given a part of Paul's great
address to the Athenians which con
tains this statement of man's true
being: "For in Him we live, and
move, and have our being; as certain
also of your own poets have said.
For we are also His offspring."
(Acts 17:28.) A correlative passage
from the Christian Science textbook
reads: "The chief stones in the tem
ple of Christian Science are to be
found in the following postulates:
that Life is God, good, and not evil;
that Soul is sinless, not to be found
in the body; that Spirit is not, and
cannot be, materialized; that Life is
not subject to death; that the spirit
ual real man has no birth, no material
life, and no death." (Science and
Health p. 288.)
The subject of the lesson-sermon
for the following week is: "Ancient
and Modern Necromancy, alias Mes
merism and Hypnotism, Denounced."
