One fruit grower, last season, made four trips a day to the railway station, a total of .144 miles and carried as higli as 72 crates of 4 7 quarts each on a trip. He couldn't have made more than one 36 mile trip a day with a team, The Ford soon pays for itself in tate time it saves the farmer. With help so scarce, every farmer needs to make use of every precious minute of his time, To him the Ford car is a real necessity, Indeed, some farmers tell us that it is doubtful if they could carry on their farm work under present labor conditions if it wasn't for the time the Ford saves thein. } ,f No farmer need be without a Ford. In fact, the average farmer could afford one if it were double the price. It is as easy to drive as a horse, three times as fast, and costs less per mile to run. Why not order one today?

One fruit grower, last season, made four trips a day to the railway station, a total of .144 miles and carried as higli as 72 crates of 4 7 quarts each on a trip. He couldn't have made more than one 36 mile trip a day with a team, The Ford soon pays for itself in tate time it saves the farmer. With help so scarce, every farmer needs to make use of every precious minute of his time, To him the Ford car is a real necessity, Indeed, some farmers tell us that it is doubtful if they could carry on their farm work under present labor conditions if it wasn't for the time the Ford saves thein. } ,f No farmer need be without a Ford. In fact, the average farmer could afford one if it were double the price. It is as easy to drive as a horse, three times as fast, and costs less per mile to run. Why not order one today?
