OU’D be surprised at the places you could
go, the pleasure you could have, the things
you could do, and the time you could save, if
you only hada Ford. ‘

You could go over and call ofterier on your
friends and liven up those “lonesome” nights.
Your friends would then begin to repay your
calls—and you know just how evenings fly

when friends drop.in.

In good weather, you could drive the family out on Sunday
afternoons to the lakes, or the groves, and places where the
gladness of living abounds.

You could go oftener tu town
like for yourself and children.

You coujd add _so much more to your daily lite ‘if your
family only had a Ford, that it is surprising you haven't just
made a way to get one. You probably don't know on what
easy terms you can buy a Ford, otherwise you just would have
had one long ago.
