very much liked by all for his very

Twenty to 25 miles to a gallon of gasoline is a frequent oc-
currence with the Ford car. One man (name on request
reports an average 33 miles per gallon for 2010 '0 miles.
Surely this is a record that few, if any other makes ot cars
ever equalled.
it demonstrates the economy of +limning- and driving a Ford.
You can average moo miles more travel on Ford.size tires.
The saving on oil and repairs ;s proportionately barge. The
name " FORD " stands for lowest, cost and greatest ser-
vice.
The Ford is truly the Universal Car
