The Universal Car Three strong reasons urge you to buy the Ford car: First, because of its record of satisfactory service to more than fifteen hundred thousand owners; Second, because of the reliability of the Company which makes it; Third, because of its large radiator and enclosed fan, streamline hood, crown fenders front and rear, black finish, nickel trimmings, it is most attractive in appearance. To these must must be added its wonderful economy in operation and maintenance —'about two cents a mile; likewise the fact that by reason of its simplicity in construction anyone can operate and care for it. Nine thousand Ford agents make Ford service as universal as the car. Touring Car $360 Runabout $345 Coupelet $505 Town Car $595 Sedan $645—f. o. b. Detroit. !
