They look strong enough, but the metal isn’t there—the strong, durable Vanadium steel that goes into the Ford chassis and every Ford part. Ford parts are specially cast and heat-treated, each according to its use. Some. require a hard, flint-like wearing surface, others’ need resiliency, and some need just “toughness.” Ford metallurgists have been studying these problems for sixteen years and know | just how each unit should be made to endure a maximum of wear and tear. They | know that best results can be obtained only by the use of special formulas for dif- | ferent parts, and that honest Ford parts wear from thirty-five to one hundred per | | cent longer than counterfeits. f| THE THREE-QUARTER TON BETHLEHEM 34-Ton Bethlehem Dependable Deliv- ‘A, ~~ is designed and built for swift and sure deliveries.
