to comply with formulas at the ex
pense of a good effect. He should be
allowed free play to devise a plant

the house and the owner's enj j ..ent

Rather than being guided by for
mulas, he will follow only the fun
damental principles of design. This
is the theory and it seems sound, but,
ftjajlike some other "modern" ideas in
art, not so new.
Designers several hundred years
ago who were unhampered by gar

with the fundamental principles of
design, nevertheless found that they
had to deal with materials which na

This first Ford almanac is publish

ANNOUNCES s25-A-MONTH
TIME PAYMENTS
AND A
NEW UCC 6 FINANCE PLAN
Any New Ford Vm8 Car
Can Now Be Purchased for $25 a Month
with Usual Low Down-Payment
This 525-a-month time-payment plan
enables you to buy a New Ford V-8
car through your Ford dealer on new
low monthly terms.
After the usual low down-payment
is made, $25 a month is all you have
to pay for any type of new car, includ
ing insurance and financing.
Your cost for this extension of credit
is only y2 of 1 a month on your orig
inal unpaid balance and insurance.
This plan reduces financing charges for
twelve months to 6. For example, if
you owe a balance of $400 for your
car and insurance, you pay $24 for
the year of credit; if the balance is
$200 you pay $12. Your credit cost
for one year is the original unpaid
balance multiplied by 6.
UCC plans provide you with in
surance protection at regular confer
ence rates. You have not only fire and
theft insurance, but $50 deductible col
lision, and protection against other ac
cidental physical damage to your car.
The Universal Credit Company has
made these plans available through all
Ford dealers in the United States.
