Out of 30 checking stations, Ford registered first at 27, Of Course We Are Proud of the victory—so can be every owner of a Model “T” Ford cause the winning Ford car was a stock car, an exact duplicate of the car that every Model “T” buyer secures (except for the body, which on the winner was special). With a stock employes, not hired professional or world-renowned drivers, Ford won the hardest, longest, most important race ever run. seventeen sand; in the mud and in the mountains. There was - Simply be- car driven by régular factory We Don’t Blame Other Manufacturers for staying out of the race. It was ahard one—probably the hardest test ever proposed, For seven days out of Kansas City it rained, and the FORD plowed through that gumbo mud that has made Western roads famous. Two or three inches of rain fell every swollen, bridges gone, roads washed away and 24 hours, Streams were fields flooded. A fall down a 14-foot bank resulted, but served only as a temporary setback. Then there was the sand, the meanest proposition an automobile ever tackled—not in patches, but miles upon miles of it, deep, soft, elusive sand—it was worse than the mud, And still the Ford went on, There Were Mountain Ranges to cross—Catskill, Rocky, Blue and Cascade, Railroad schedules age less than ten miles per hour over these western ranges aver- ,and they run double-headers on a steel track, graded down to 5 per cent snow, too, at the summit, through which the cars must run. The roads leading over were rocky, were muddy, were deep with ruts, and the Ford had to take and did take them all There was Include Interchangeable Bodies.

It was light weight that kept the Ford going over the mud and sand, when those heavy cars were stalled for hours. It was light weight that enabled them to climb grades that other cars required outside assistance to surmount. It was light weight that permitted speed over those rough and often ditch-cut wagon trails, that served for roads inthe Western states. It was the ability of the light-weight Ford to make quick stops and as quick getaways that made fast time possible. Without quality, the light weight could not possibly have stood the strain, This is the Same Model “T” Ford that every buyer gets, this winner in the first trans-continental race. We are delivering 400 to 500 every week, to all parts of the world. It’s this same $925, 4 cylinder, 20 h. p., 1,200 Ib. touring car, or with any, other style body at prices listed, that beat those high-powered, high- priced, heavy-weight cars ina race too severe for 99 out of 100 of the cars at any price, on the market today, Not another car in the race that sold for less than five times Ford's price, and yet they all watched the Fords go by. And Here’s What Was Accomplished from east to west, clear across the continent, via the northern and hardest route, 4,106 miles, in 20 days and 52 minutes. The big Thomas “Sixty” Pathfinder had required over two months for the same trip, over the same route. FORD made St. Louis to Kansas City in 20 hours and 40 minutes, breaking the record for the trip. It made Buffalo to Cleveland in 7 hours 30 minutes total elapsed time, and Cleveland to Toledo, in the mud, in 4 hours less time than any competi- tor, It beat the big six-cylinder Acme car into Seattle by a week. It won the race that the Itala car gave up at Cheyenne, Wyo., and the high-priced Stearns gave up before New York state was crossed. These are all facts that speak for Ford ability and construction, Bert Scott and James Smith, drivers of this car, are on the way back, They are driving the same car in which they won first place for Ford. Everybody must admit that it takes a pretty good car just to win such a contest. It must be better than the average to then be in condition to make the return trip. Toa man up a tree it looks like a mighty safe buy for anyone who wants a car for everyday average use, a car that's good on boule- vard or wagon road, that doesn’t require a ten thousand dollar income to buy or a five thousand dollar bank account to maintain and a college course in engineering to keep in repair, Messrs.
