we, THE OMINECA HERALD, FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1923 a 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 had a Ford. . You could go over and call oftener on your friends and liven up those “lonesome” nights. Your friends would then begin to repay your ealls—and you know just how evenings fly when friends drop in. , In good weather, you could drive the family out on Sunday q afternoons to the lakes, or the groves, and places where the gladness of living abounds, You could go oftener to town—and pick out the things you like for yourself and children. You could add so much more to your daily life if your family only had a Ford, that it is surprising you haven’t just made @ wey 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. W. S&S.
