There are more than 3,000,000 Ford 'cars in
daily service throughout the world, and fully
eighty per cent of these are Ford Touring Cars.
There are many reasons for this, not the least of
which is the simplicity in the design of the car,
so easy to understand likewise it is easy to
operate and mighty inexpensive compared to
other motor cars. On the farm, in the city, for
business and for family pleasure, it is the car of
the people, and the demand is increasing every
day. Let us have your order promptly if you
want one.
