Why Ford Predominates
Proof that Ford predominates is to be found in the
fact that 50 per cent of all cars in Canada are Fords.
Ford predominates because it supplies the essen-
tials of adequate, economical transportation.
Ford has been the pioneer in the automotive in-
dustry; has blazed the trial in every fundamentally
sound transportation principle.
Ford service is an outstanding example of Ford
predominance. Authorized Ford service is to be
found wherever motor cars are used- always
capable, business -like and prompt.
More than 4,000' service stations in Canada are
assurance of this.
