He carries a large stock of genuine Ford parts for repairs and replacements so you don't have to wait while he sends for them, and he uses only genuine parts because he knows the imitation parts aren't r1 spendable and don't wear. He has a thoroughly equipped up to the minute garage with tools that enable his Ford Mechanics to efficiently and properly make any repair-from a minor adjustment to a complete overhaul. And when the work is finished, his bill represents the reasonable, standard Ford prices. Now, we are Authorized Ford Dealers-a part of that great Ford Service or ganization which was formed chiefly to put within each community a dealer who would have more thar, a passing interest in Ford repairs and adjustments. We are prepared and equipped to render prompt, careful Ford service. Drive in or 'phone 82 and we'll come after your car. YONCE & MOONEY, Edgefield, S. C. H. G. EIDSON, Johnston, S. C.
