During the past fifteen years over 7,500,000 Ford Cars have been placed in the hands of retail customers—more than a million and a half of them within the past 12 months—and yet there are still millions of families who are hopefully looking forward to the day when they can own a Ford. And now the way is open. i Under the terms of this plan you can select your Ford Car, set aside a small amount each week and you will be surprised how soon you will own it. In the meantime your money will be safely deposited to your credit in the Berlin Savings Bank at Kensington, Conn., where it will draw interest. Think it over Five dollars will start an account. The whole family can participate in it—father, mother, brothers and sisters each doing a little. Why not start today. Stop in and talk it over with your local Ford deal- er.
