MONDAY, JANUARY 21, 1929 Win you see the new Ford, you are impressed instantly by its trim, grace- ful lines and air of sturdy strength. Its very appearance is a reflection of the alert, capable performance of the car. Without being ex- treme, it has struck 2 new note in automo- bile designing. : A particularly interesting feature of the new Ford is the way beauty has been com- bined with utility. This is found in the length, width and height of the body, the size and shape of the radiator, the posi- tion of the gasoline tank in the cowl, the outward flow of the body, the design of the welded steel spoke wheels, the shape and position of the full nickeled headlamps, the sweep and curve of the heavy full crown _ fenders. Everything bas been planned for service When a thing perfectly: fits its uses, it is pleasing to the eye. Every part of the new Ford has been designed and built not only to be attractive, but with:a very definite thought of the work it has'to do. ; Even in the very little things you can see evidence of quality of material, careful work- manship and quiet good taste. The upholstery THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE is of woolen material, rich and luxurious, yet long-wearing.

For it is a reflection of simplicity of design, quality of materials and careful workmanship, which are the three fundamental: factors -in motor car performance.
