Each separate part has been studied to learn the type of steel best fitted for it. Parts receiving constant surface-wear are made of hard, flint-like metal; parts subjected to great vibration or resilience are made of softer, springy steel. Every part is made according to its use-that is, every Genuine Ford part is. But there are also counterfeit "Ford" parts. These imitations are made by concerns in no way connected with the Ford Motor Company and retailed as side-lines by mail order house?, down-town stores, and many garages. The un suspecting customer accepts them because they are called "Ford" parts. To make sure of getting the genuine Ford-made parts, buy them only from Author ized Ford Dealers. Likewise bring or take your Ford car to our garage for re pairs, replacements, and general "tuning up." We are Authorized Ford Dealers. We can supply you with all Ford parts for either passenger car or truck. And our shop is equipped to give real Ford ser vice in all repair work. YONCE & MOONEY, Edgefield, S. C. H. G.

Yod are, no doubt, aware of the c great work already accomplished for * all classes of our citizens by that or- t ganization: many who are not mem bers have/ received untold benefits ^ from it'. ' The cotton grower must always reckon with the host that seeks to 2 get his cotton below its real value, s and only co-operation can protect ? him. My opinion is, that hearty co- j opreation of the farmers, merchants, bankers, professional and other bus iness men in the South is necessary c to secure a fair and reasonable price * for cotton. c The farmer is too prone to let the ' man in town do what should be done for him; for, however willing pro- c fessional or business men may be to t assist the farmer in a fight for a I STATEMENT OF THE CONDITION OF Tp BANK OF EDGEFIELD i At the close of business May 4, 1920.
