Danger for Farmers' Party.

SIIE withstood everything in the field and
above all was, and still is, the last and
only car to survive until the cessation of
hostilities"—Extract from letter received by
Ford Motor Company from a British Soldier,
in Africa.
Over shell -torn roads, through water soaked fields, second only
to the tanks in its power to climb debris and crater holes, the
Ford car made a world famous record in the fighting area of the
great war. In press despatches, in field reports, in letters, in
rhyme and song the praises of the Ford were sounded.
In France - 700 cars out of 1,000 were Fords
In Italy - 850 cars out of 1,000 were Fords
In Egypt - 996 cars out of 1,000 were Fords
In Mesopotamia 999 cars out of 1,000 were Fords
The Ford powerplant that established this world-wide record
in every theatre ofthewar remains the same. It will be in the
Ford you buy.
